Just What I Needed
I have been looking for a product exactly like this. I needed a product that calms my skin redness and handles my acne scarring, then the Ordinary released this. I only just started using this but I needed an Aloe product for my morning routine as Aloe Vera gel seems too thick for the AM & more suit...

Sensitive skin users don't take this risk
Do NOT recommend this product. I have been using the ordinary for years, it's great that they are coming out with new stuff but not when it doesn't work for you. Most of the reviews here were from influencers that were given this product for free sadly. I had high hopes being a avid TO user. How...

As someone with acne prone sensitive skin, I've always had a slight fear when it comes to trying out new skincare. Seeing as this not only had aloe (which I know is super hydrating and healing) but also a pigment lightener, I was super excited to try this. My acne is always a huge insecurity of mine but more than that, the scars it leaves behind is the worst part. Within a week of using this I already saw a great improvement in all aspects of my skin including my hyperpigmentation. Safe to say this is my new go to.
Not for me

This broke me out really badly. I just don't think it's for my kind of skin at all I have combination skin so maybe that's the problem I do like their other products though
Can use on my sensitive skin
I've tried various post-acne lighteners which were irritating and inflamming on my sensitive skin. I have been able to use this, including on red marks after breakouts on my thin, sensitive decolletage area skin. Too soon to tell how long or how much everything will lighten but its not causing irritation which is a first for me.
It seemed to work almost instantly!

I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I don't know if I'm imagining things but some scars I've had on the side of my face for years are suddenly reduced! It has also seemed to calm any new spots almost immediately. I can't believe it. I use it alongside niacinamide, which I've used for a few years now, and argan oil in the evening.
Just meh

I can't say I love nor dislike this product. I've recently added it to my night routine and it certainly helps boost the moisturizing of my skin, but I can't say that I have seen a major difference. Maybe my skin feels a little softer and looks calmer.. I'll continue to use this product and maybe I'll see a bigger difference, but at least it is moisturizing.
