My Skin is Glowing – Elzanne T

“I started using the Bio-Clarity Skin pods 4 months ago when I started getting breakouts and I am absolutely amazed with the results so far. My skin is glowing and I don’t have any breakouts anymore. My skin is clear & blemish free – as seen in the before and after photos. I am only wearing my tinted Heliocare in the after photo, not even foundation! These pods literally changed my skin from unhealthy to healthy!

Thank you Dr Vanessa for your amazing products!
