Just ok
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had the opportunity to try out Murad's Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Acne Treatment Serum. I honestly wasn't too impressed with this product. I experience acne from time to time, mostly hormonal acne. I typically don't have much luck w...

Sinks into the skin fast! And no scent!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The texture is like a water gel that sinks into the skin pretty fast. I haven't noticed a scent so that's a plus! I can't say that it has done much for my skin but I haven't had it very long.
Love it
I've been using the Murad Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Acne Treatment Serum for a couple of weeks now, and I'm honestly impressed. The texture is lightweight and gel-like — it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any sticky residue. One of the best things about it is that it treats breakouts without drying out my skin, which is rare for acne products. I noticed that active pimples calm down faster, and my skin looks less inflamed and red. It didn't cause any purging or new breakouts, and over time, my skin feels more balanced — less oily in the T-zone, but still hydrated.
Finally, A Product That Works
This product is the first effective treatment I have found for my problem: blocked pores. I had bumps that would sit for months, mainly on my chin and around my mouth, and whatever I tried dried out and often irritated my skin but the bumps remained. The serum empties clogged pores but is also kind to your skin.
Highly recommend
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is amazing. Not a strong scent and natural ingredients. Not a gritty or thick texture. Leaves no residue and I love the blue color packaging. Highly recommend
Lightweight & Effective
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using this for over a month now and I can say I feel like apart from being a solution afterwards it also supports in deterring breakouts. I've had very minimal break outs since using this, the formula is very smooth and it's lightweight so I can be layered with other skincare products.
