Chemical burns
I got this product 4 days ago and was excited because I read all of the great reviews. I had previously never considered my fave sensitive or really acne prone.

I would buy this product again and again
I've been using this product for a long time, and it has helped my skin a lot. I always buy it!
My scarring is practically gone within a month
I started using this product in april and it has helped not only my acne but my scarring as well. I use their effaclear cleanser day and night and this prodcut day and night and the effaclar adaplene gel at night and mela B3 serum in the morning. Absolutely love this brand and their products, saved my skin LITERALLY.
My face turned red right after putting it on
I'm a big fan of B5 serum and retinol serum from the brand, so I decided to try this serum because of my stubborn hormonal acne around my mouth and chin areas. I have a very high hope after read all the rave reviews. However, this burns my face really bad. My face turns red suddenly after I apply it on. I still have hope and let it stink my face for almost half hour but it's very burn and I noticed something not right. I freaked out and used micellar water to wipe it out immediately and hope it's not too late. For those of you who say this works so well, did you get red burn after applying? Do you guys have any secrets for applying it?
Burned my skin
I used this product on my face and thought it was going to help with my acne. I followed the instructions that it said on the packaging and a week later it burned my skin and made my skin red. It made my skin sensitive and it was never sensitive until now.
