Quickest and Long Lasting Results

Submitted 1 month ago

By Aaliyah

From CA

This product has really made a difference more than any other brand or medical prescription has. All my life I have had sensitive skin and recently started big outbreaks on my face which seemed to never go away no matter what I did. My skin also would burn and turn red due to medications and basically anything. However, this daily acne cleanser has been able to gently clean my face and reduce the acne that was on it. I have fewer break outs now and more noticeably my skin is a lot clearer than before.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Effective and didn't blast the skin

Submitted 1 month ago

By Annie

From CA

I got this for my daughter who has been dealing with acne, and who had no luck with standard salicylic acid products like pads and washes. This was very effective and I feel much better about giving her these products than benzoyl peroxide which is drying, irritating, and has issues with contaminants or breakdown products.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

The most gentle salicylic acid serum

Submitted 1 month ago

By Misty

From Chicago, IL

I used this serum nightly for 3 weeks, then began alternating nights with azelaic acid to help with dark spots. The serum was really gentle on my sensitive skin and didn't cause any stinging, which was a huge surprise because most acids do make my face react a little bit. I am still getting breakouts a few times a month but they seem to be clearing faster than before which is an improvement! The only thing I don't love about this serum is the smell—I know it's fragrance free (which is great!) but because there isn't any added fragrance, it kind of smells like french fry oil? Not the best lol, but it dissipates fairly quickly.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Amazing Acne Treatment Serum!

Submitted 1 month ago

By Emma

From CA

Super easy to use because it’s nice and lightweight which my skin and I appreciate. After consistently using everyday, I noticed my skin texture looking more even and smooth. While treating my breakouts, reducing the amount of pimples that appeared, it also definitely reduced my post blemish redness in intensity and time on my skin.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
