Acne Precision Serum

Submitted 5 months ago

By Mara

"Have been using this in conjunction with the Daily Cleanser. I think it's been making a difference, though I'm not sure which product (cleanser vs. serum) is pulling more weight. The serum has an interesting odor that I'm not a fan of, and the texture of the serum itself isn't my favorite. However, it settles into the skin fairly well and although it feels thicker when applying, it doesn't leave my face feeling sticky/tacky like some other serums have done. I have noticed a noticeable improvement in my cystic acne - breakouts aren't as severe, and the chronic acne spots are getting visibly lighter/less irritated in the past ~6ish weeks I've been using it. I'm excited to continue using it and seeing how the results fare longer term."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

i had used this at night and i didn’t notice any excessive dryness or extra irritation. many other acne treatments cause extra irritation and this one didn’t do that. this gave me amazing results

Works well, but sticky

By Tam

From New York, NY

Using it daily shows results, but application can be improved. I have noticed a decrease in the formation of new acne spots, but it doesn’t do much to improve preexisting black/whiteheads. Using it right after the cleaner also is a bit less than optimal, because if applied while the skin is damp it takes a while to dry and feels tacky until then. It also feels kinda heavy, and I feel like it creates a film on my face that bothers me a bit

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

High performance

I loved everything about the serum, the results were there. If I had an active acne applying directly on it didn't cause any inflammation or irritation. It was very lightweight and I can see this being buildable with other serums.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Loved this serum! Used as directed after the paired cleanser. I loved that it didn’t leave my face feeling greasy. Super easy to apply and love the gentle yet super effective formula.
