New formula
I must say this was my hero product. I think the formula has changed and it is not as effective as previously. I can definitely see the difference compared to when I used to use it in the past. The bottle got bigger and the product got worse. Sad, but I will not be purchasing this anymore. I hope th...

Do not apply to wet skin & you wont have burning or discomfort. I let my face dry 10-15 minutes after cleansing before applying . Cleared my pores & congestion in one application, and i have battled this congestion on my chin for ages.
not for sensitive skin
this mask made my cheeks very red and hot
Holy Shitake Mushrooms! AMAZING!!!!
Holy moly, this stuff is amazing! I read all the negative reviews, product too thick, dries too fast etc. It does dry pretty quick, but I was generous with the application and it helped with that. I did my face a section at a time, I have no idea what the other people were having, but it came out of the bottle just fine. I could feel the difference when I was rinsing it off, my face felt SO SMOOTH, and my pores are visibly clearer. all the little back dots on my nose? GONE. The congestion on my chin? Ha! What congestion?! There was zero burning or irritation, I have normal/dry skin. I will absolutely be ordering this again, it works beautifully! I was sure to set a timer when I applied it, first for 5 minutes, just to be safe. No tingling or burning, nothing after 5 minutes, so I set it for another 5, paying close attention for any signs of irritation, and nothing. As soon as it gets wet, it rinsed off no problem. Didn't leave any trace in my white sink, didn't stain my (natural unpolished) nails or my blonde hair (got a little in my baby hairs at the temples). Overall I'm extremely happy with my purchase. FYI: I followed with niacinamide toner, hyaluronic acid, peptide serum, 10% niacinamide serum, and 1% retinol in plum seed oil, none of which caused any irritation at any point.

Okay I was a little sceptical about this one as I like a grainy exfoliant like a Glycolic Scrub, but this product is AMAZING!!! I used it 2 nights ago and my skin still feels so smooth and decongested, I'm actually so surprised. Have a bit of hormonal acne going on at the moment so my skin has been feeling greasy and gross. Even my pores look way smaller. Putting my moisturiser on ever since has been soo satisfying because there's been such a decrease in texture in ONE USE! I can't wait to see what this does for my skin in a few months time. I don't go out of my way to review things unless I love them, so this is a huge win for me. Also bought with the gel cleanser, HA moisturiser, retinoid serum and suspension vit C to cycle through. I have the squaline cleanser from a past purchase, but I only use it for breaking down makeup and don't like it as an every day cleanser. The only thing I don't absolutely love about these products is the smell, but on the flip I like that they're not unnecessarily perfumed. Ii digress, 11/10, huge fan of this product!!
