If you have sensitive skin, be careful!! They reformulated the serum a few months ago. I’ve been buying this serum for over 2 years and it worked like a charm, but I received my new bottle a few days ago and immediately broke out in an itchy, red rash with pimples and dry skin. I had no idea what was causing it until I did some looking and found out the reformulated.

This product is genuinely one of the best things that is part of my routine! Not only is it cheap, but it also works perfect!! I use it on my red spots once a day after popping pimples and the redness goes away in less than a week 10/10 recommende
I recommend this to anyone as something to target acne. I started using when I was 17 and noticed my skin tone evening up and I never had terrible acne but I noticed a lot less smaller bumps when using this. I’m 19 now and would say if you’re around my age or even a bit younger this could be a great product for you.
After using this product all of my blackheads went away they didn’t come back. It’s super affordable and it didn’t make my face greasy after and it’s been a re-purchased 
bought this probably 7 times in my life, the only thing that actually works and i notice a difference with. Use it after toner all over or on problem spots 2 times swear acne will disappear.
I love how affordable this is, I have probably repurchased this 4 times. As a sensitive skin, acne prone girl, I usually see reviews for people with oily skin. I have pretty dry skin from using retinoids, but this product is gentle enough to not make it worse. I usually use it every day, but only in areas with active breakouts. Definitely avoid using it in the corners of your nose though!
I have problems with breakouts on my forehead. This dries them out and helps with the breakouts.
This is one of the products that I will be using morning and night I have very oily and sensitive skin and this is help reducing my pores and oily skin if your skin is like mine mainly oily skin I absolutely recommend
I love this product! It helps control my acne a lot and gets rid of the excess oil in my skin without drying my skin out.
Helped clear my acne and great for oily skin and clogged pores. Also noticed my skin looks more refreshed and exfoliated
