I like this acne serum, it’s not harsh and is keeping my skin free of breakouts. The price is reasonable. I usually can find products that don’t break the bank that are just as good or better than the trending ones
I'm in my 40s and perimenopause acne is here. I needed to incorporate a retinol anyway, so tried this solution on a whim. OH MY GOD. I saw an improved skin texture in less than a week. Troubled acne areas improving, and a month in my skin is so much clearer. I wish I took pictures! I did have some typical salicylic acid breakouts as so much junk rose to the surface. Still have a remnant or two on that front, but FOR REAL my skin is so much better. Can't wait to see what it's like in a couple more months!
This stuff is a wonder for my skin. I have a combination of some breakouts, eczema, and texture. This solves multiple problems without being drying or irritating. I took a break from it when I ran out and my skin was not happy.
I have been using this for about nearly two weeks now. After a few days I immediately noticed how soothed my red and aggravated skin was. The biggest thing for me was how it has helped my large and closed pores. No matter what product I would use, after a while my pores would clog up and I’d have skin colored blackheads that gave my skin texture. Using this my skin texture is completely different! I love love love
This product has helped my skin so much. It helps me get rid of my acne. This product is great and does not dry my skin out!
Balanced performance: The synergy seems good — retinol’s effectiveness in renewing, smoothing, firming, combined with green tea’s calming, antioxidant support helps reduce common retinol drawbacks you get
I love this serum so much and attribute a lot of my acne progress to it. For context I have struggled with hormonal acne for much of my late teens to now in my early 20s. It's primarily concentrated on my chin and makes me so insecure and terrible I almost never go a day without wearing makeup. I also have very sensitive skin and it's always hit or miss if something with irritates my skin or not. This serum is very gentle and doesn't make my face burn or feel itchy after use. Because it's so gentle I do think it does need a bit longer than a week to see prominent results, and I did experience a purging phase a bit. That I believe is due to the retinol accelerating cell turnover. I have been using this serum in my routine for about 3 months and love the progress I've seen. The photos are from June 2025 to now August 2025 and you can see I have almost no active acne! I feel so much more confident in my own skin. I use this in combination with the Innisfree BHA Volcanic cleanser and the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I won't say this will work for everyone but it has been great for me and I'm very grateful for that.
This serum worked really well for my skin. It was gentle yet effective in calming breakouts and improving skin texture. I appreciated that it didn’t cause irritation or dryness like some other retinol products. My skin looked clearer and felt smoother after regular use. I’d definitely love to buy it again.
I’ve got pretty oily skin, so the fact that a lot of acne treatments are thicker creams never really worked for me. This is a thin serum, and it feels so light, not irritating in the slightest. And I’m not a regular retinol user so that’s really good. Just a few days of use and my breakouts have diminished significantly.
this product is a staple in my routine. i turned 32 and my acne got out of control on my forehead mainly. this product has helped clear my skin so much.tret rx was too harsh on my skin and this is perfect. i use it nightly. saw a difference after a week
