Gentle BHA for Tret Purge
If you're not using any other actives and your skin is pretty bad, I would always recommend 2% bha. But if you're using prescription retinoids and your skin is super bad because purging is a nightmare, this serum is bomb. The salicylic acid is fairly weak but with tea tree and willow bark, it still ...

Overall TERRIBLE Product.
This is one of the worst products I have ever tried. I have sensitive skin, yet I had minor acne at the time so me and my mother went out searching for a cure for my acne. We came across this, and mom said it would be perfect, so we bought it. I also bought it with a face wash of a different brand. ...

I have been using this product for a few years and it's definitely a favorite. When I run out of product and have nothing to use for acne I've noticed worsening in skin. It is more sticky but I like that since I layer product.
Works as Intended
I've been using this product nearly everyday for two years. Last year particularly I had terrible acne (due to my makeup products) and this product didnt necessarily clear my acne, but maintained a hydrated, glowy appearance of my skin. Now my skin is clear and this product has maintained my skin barrier and has assisted in the healing process. This serum is great for sensitive skin and can help clear minor acne, redness, & hyperpigmentation. My favorite ingredient has been the aloe vera.
Good, but not for me
To start: I have combo skin and have bad hormonal acne. I regularly use acids and exfoliation products to combat it. So a product like this serum, which seems to be weaker in order to be more gentle on the skin, isn't for me. I believe this product is good, but it's one where the pros could be cons depending on what exactly you're looking for. I would recommend this serum to people who might want an exfoliation or acne-treating product, but have sensitive skin, or skin that isn't used to such treatments. It's weaker than other acne treatments and requires consistent use for longer than other treatments to see results (about 1.5 weeks with twice daily use for me), but it's not as harsh or damaging to the skin. My face never once felt irritated or dry after using this. It also is designed to be paired with a salicylic acid face wash, so it makes sense why it's weaker and more gentle than other serums. Overall, if you're looking for or need a strong acne serum, you probably won't like this product. But if you're just dipping your toes into acids, have more sensitive skin (though keep in mind it does still have salicylic acid), or personally want a gentler treatment that others, you'll want to look into this product. Again, it's not as fast-working as other treatments in clearing acne, but that's the payoff for a gentler serum.
Love
I have acne and dry skin. This stuff really helps. I like to put it on, let it soak, and then put pure aloe on tip.
good for skin and wallet
After using this for a year my mild acne has subsides. My skin looks clear and feels great. The bottle also lasts a while so it's good on a budget.
