Effective and didn't blast the skin

Submitted 19 days ago

By Annie

From CA

I got this for my daughter who has been dealing with acne, and who had no luck with standard salicylic acid products like pads and washes. This was very effective and I feel much better about giving her these products than benzoyl peroxide which is drying, irritating, and has issues with contaminants or breakdown products.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

The most gentle salicylic acid serum

Submitted 19 days ago

By Misty

From Chicago, IL

I used this serum nightly for 3 weeks, then began alternating nights with azelaic acid to help with dark spots. The serum was really gentle on my sensitive skin and didn't cause any stinging, which was a huge surprise because most acids do make my face react a little bit. I am still getting breakouts a few times a month but they seem to be clearing faster than before which is an improvement! The only thing I don't love about this serum is the smell—I know it's fragrance free (which is great!) but because there isn't any added fragrance, it kind of smells like french fry oil? Not the best lol, but it dissipates fairly quickly.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Amazing Acne Treatment Serum!

Submitted 19 days ago

By Emma

From CA

Super easy to use because it’s nice and lightweight which my skin and I appreciate. After consistently using everyday, I noticed my skin texture looking more even and smooth. While treating my breakouts, reducing the amount of pimples that appeared, it also definitely reduced my post blemish redness in intensity and time on my skin.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

It definitely takes a few weeks but I am starting to see improvement. It is very gentle and non-drying.

Gentle and works so well!

I love this product and it will be one of my must-haves in my routine from now on. Although it has a bit of a weird smell, the cleanser helps to reduce that and I would rather it smell weird than have questionable ingredients. My acne was much less frequent and my pores were minimized over time. The balance of my skin also improved, with less oiliness, dry patches and irritation. When I did get acne around my period it resolved many times overnight. I still think retinol and retinoids have their place so pigmentation if there is a pimple that comes up, but overall I love this product and think it worked much better than expected.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
