Gentle and effective
Easy to use and seems to be effective. Worked in stubborn acne that did not respond to salicylic acid cleansing pads.
Great product
I started to use this product daily as a face cleanser. Smells great and has a slight cooling effect when applying. I have very sensitive skin and eczema and have not had any issues with this product breaking me out. The only thing I noticed is that it does dry out my face quite a bit. But nothing a good moisturizer can’t fix. I have been using the hypothesis eczema cream on my face and this pair seems to be working great.
Daily Acne Cleanser
Used in conjunction with the Daily Acne serum. Felt really nice on the skin, and didn't leave me feeling too dried out/tight like some cleansers do. Have only used this for approx. over a month and a half, and I've seen some light improvement in my cystic acne, which is already a marked improvement from other products I've used in the past. I was using CLEARSTEM prior, with little to no improvement, whereas with Hypothesis I've been seeing a difference in my cystic acne clearing up. Excited to keep using it and seeing if there's even more of a difference with more long term use!
Faster resolution of acne
Using the daily cleanser with the acne enzyme serum reduced overall acne and minimized pores. When I did have monthly breakouts, they resolved much more quickly than they have in the past. There was no dry skin or irritation from treating acne in contrast to experiences with retinols or retinoids. I will continue to use!
Good for sensitive skin and adult acne
I really liked the smell of this cleanser. The gentleness for everyday use and the improvement of my acne along my jawline after a breakout. It did not prevent my acne breakouts however, I did enjoy trying this product.
