However, some people had an issue with the set’s size. Kat wrote: “So tiny! I saw a photo in the reviews and thought it was the normal size you get for the eye cream when they complained it was small but it was the face cream I saw, the eye cream you get in this is a thimble. I only got it for the eye cream really, just wanted to test the other products but doubt I’ll get much out of them.”
Another said: “Brought this for my daughter and wasn’t worth £20 so tiny I would of expected to pay at least £10.” A third put: “Thought the product wouldve been a lot bigger, would recommend just getting the items separately.”
