Got given some of this as a pressie recently,please someone tell me it works friggin miracles because it stinks to high heaven! Smells somewhere between burnt hair and mould or some sort of mix,actually made me retch but I had squeezed it onto my hands and pressed all over my face before I breathed in and am now stuck with smell. Sprayed perfume on and even dabbed some under my nose but all I can smell is the putrid stench of 'hope in a jar'
Has anyone else experienced this???

i like it and the smell, but it shouldn't be that bad? i do find their products go off very quickly. I wonder if someone's given you an unwanted present of theirs that is old? try one in a store and compare the smell. I find it works well on my oily combo skin

It is a small tester sachet that came with the other products they got me,I did check for a date but if you like the smell this must be an off-batch as it smells truly rotten.On one hand hope it works wonders as have to put up with smell,on other hand hope it doesn't as don't think could subject myself or DH (who concurs that it smells of 'putrid mould') to this every night!
