I'm really enjoying using this product after I use the glow and the elevate. My skin is very dry and I usually have to use a significant amount of moisturizer multiple times a day but I have noticed I barely have to use any moisturizer when I use the defend and my skin feels hydrated for a long time. I think it is definitely worth trying.
