Fell short of my expectations given how much I love some other SR products as well as other Azaleic acid formulas I’ve tried at Sephora. May work better for someone wanting to prioritize Salicylic acid, as this otherwise didn’t touch my redness or rosacea breakouts.
so far I really like using this product, it just has a very off putting scent, other than the scent I recommend this product
It’s done a good job at keeping away the cystic acne,! So grateful for that but I don’t know if I’ll re-order it . It has a very offputting smell,  like feet.  I’m not sure what’s causing it to smell so terrible.
Smells terrible!! Like old, wet dog. Couldn’t tell you if it’s effective because I had to immediately wash it off. Love Sunday Riley and had high hopes but euyyuch!
A really great product keeps my skin smooth and not irritated. The bottle does make it difficult to get all the product out which at 85 dollars can be really annoying.
Works wonders on my combination acne prone skin. Pictures are my before and after using this product. I’m truly obsessed!!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Non irritating serum that keeps acne at bay. This is great as a maintenance serum once acne has been cleared up. It doesn’t feel sticky and it glides on nicely.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a fine serum. I hesitate to trust Sunday Riley products because they use essential oils and some irritating ingredients. This serum did not make my face itchy, but I didn’t notice much in terms of acne treatment or prevention. There are better serums out there for less!
This is a nice product, but it's overpriced for what it is and the results it delivers -- I've had more reasonably priced products perform better. The Good: Creamy, elegant texture. Non-irritating. Elevated packaging. Good (not great) results. FSA eligible. Proven ingredients. Needs Improvement: This is not a serum, it is a lotion/cream. Due to the thicker texture, you go through product more quickly than you would a serum. I purchased my bottle a three weeks ago, and only have about 1/3 of the bottle remaining, so I expect to finish it in another week or so. Unfortunately, I am still experiencing skin congestion with regular use of this product. The results and amount of product do not justify the $85/oz price, so I will not be repurchasing.
I have stubborn, red, inflamed acne as well as non-inflamed comedonal acne and I saw a result from this product overnight. It was crazy. This serum reduces residual redness I have from past acne and helps my current breakouts very quickly. Love this serum!
