This will be quick, much like my time with Sunday Riley's Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream. One week after starting this product, I'm throwing in the towel. Auto Correct is nearly unbearable for me to use, and my experience has made me so churlish that I need to share my reasons why. [...]
