- Q
can i use this with a benzoyl proxide face wash ? can i use this with your cocokind chlorophyll discoloration serum , if so which would be first between the two serums ?
- Asked by jg
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! For our products that contain active ingredients like the postbiotic acne serum, we always recommend starting off slow and spacing out actives throughout the week! You can even try alternating between the products at first - for example: using the serum at night and the cleanser during the day, or using them on alternating days. Please note using multiple active ingredients at the same time has the potential for irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Please be sure to let your skin become familiar with a new product before introducing another product with active ingredients. We encourage you to listen to your skin. If you start experiencing irritation, reduce your usage. We also always recommend patch testing our products on a small area of skin to see if our ingredients work for you! You can use our acne serum and chlorophyll serum in the same routine. You can apply them in whatever order you prefer. Our serums are suitable for daily use in the AM and/or PM, or you can use one serum in the AM and the other PM.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
can this be used with 0.1% retinol?
- Asked by aj
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Avoid using leave-on acids/exfoliants like glycolic and lactic acid, benzoyl peroxide, physical exfoliants, exfoliating pads, and other topical prescription medications when using retinol. Instead, just move them to your morning routine. For instance, if you're using retinol at night, you can move the postbiotic acne serum to your morning routine.Was this answer helpful to you

can you use this with a moisturizer or cleanser or any other products for skincare ?
- Asked by Isa
- Official Answer By cocokind - Brand EngageHi! Yes, you can use the ceramide barrier serum with the postbiotic acne serum although it isn’t necessary. We recommend purchasing the serum that best matches your biggest skin concern - acne or barrier support. If you would like to use both serums at the same time, we recommend applying the acne serum first because it’s lighter than the ceramide serum.Was this answer helpful to you

My favorite acne product
I have mainly hormonal acne (I'm 19) so I cannot speak on deep cystic acne. However on my major break outs this clears it within three days. I love the ingrediants. I have really sensitive skin and stuff like elf breaks me out. I'm on my second bottle and have been using this for about three months....

Sad to report, this is my least fav cocokind product
I am a huge cocokind fan, and I struggle immensely with acne from my CAH, so when this dropped I was excited to give it a try!! I patch tested and had zero reaction, and the first time applying, I had no reaction. My skin didn't feel much different after the first application actually. My second tim...

Whenever I cant afford a full set my essentials are sunscreen, retinol, and this product. I can use it despite my incredibly sensitive skin, which is saying something.

Wow. I will buy this forever. My skin and this serum are a match made in heaven. Literally! I have always struggled with hormonal chin acne for as long as I can remember. Within DAYS of using this serum AM & PM, my skin is the clearest it's been since middle school. Not only is my hormonal acne gone, but my nose bumps/congestion have disappeared as well. I have tried so many products, and even tested no products at all, but this is finally the serum for me! I feel so confident in my skin again. Don't hesitate to try this one - especially if you relate to my skin issues. Please never discontinue this perfect serum < 3 Thank you, cocokind!!!
Best acne serum I've ever used
Verified Buyer
Reviewed at
I did not realize how amazing this product was until I tried a different one that was a larger amount at a cheaper price point. The product I'm using now dries my skin out quite a bit and also stings, plus since I started using it, I seem to be breaking out more. So, needless to say, once I run out of what I have, I will be going right back to the postbiotic acne serum. It's not drying at all, which I was so surprised by, and it smells great. Plus it keeps my acne under control. Thanks for such an awesome product!
Only acne serum I use

I absolutely LOVE this serum. Ive had so many issues with acne serums and treatments hurting my skin or being painful, but this one doesnt!! Literally the only acne serum I will put on my face and it WORKS!
Pleasantly surprised!
It has only been a few days of use and I am very pleasantly surprised! Not only are breakouts subsiding, it seems to be evening tone and texture and hasn't caused any issues for my sensitive skin that tends to react to almost anything.
