LOVE this product! I was struggling with congested pores on my forehead this summer and since adding this to my routine the texture of my skin is much smoother and my pores appear smaller. I can’t wait to continue to see results as I keep using this in my routine.

A MUST HAVE!
This serum is incredible! I’ve struggled with occasional breakouts and uneven texture, and this product has made such a difference. Within the first week, I noticed my skin looked smoother, and the little bumps on my forehead and chin started clearing up.
It’s gentle but effective—I was worried about irritation because of the AHA/BHA blend, but my skin handled it really well, probably thanks to the niacinamide. I love that it targets blemishes without drying me out or making me peel.
It’s now a staple in my nighttime routine. My skin feels cleaner, fresher, and I’m seeing fewer breakouts. If you have blemish-prone skin, this is 100% worth trying!

This exfoliating serum is a must for oily skin. It noticeably reduced my blackheads and made my pores look smaller after first couple weeks of use. My skin feels smoother and looks clearer. Highly recommend!

Should try!!
This product definitely surprise me from the moment I tried it. First off the packaging was beautiful. The bottle felt heavy, which made me feel like I am getting enough of the serum within the bottle. I love how easy it was to pump and use this serum, but I especially love the way it spread as I applied it to my skin. The serum feels extremely hydrated and as well, very easy to spread. I only used one pump on each side of my face and it allowed me to spread evenly without having to pump multiple times. My face immediately feels refreshed . This product has key ingredients such as glycolic , lactic and salicylic acid which are the three top Ingredients for removals of blemish or dark spots. I think this product has a lot of potential ! I will continue to use and see how my progress goes ! I’ve been using it in my night routine every other day

Brightening
I used this serum twice a week as to not overwhelm my skin with a new product. It honestly felt like my skin was possibly a bit drier in the morning, but that could be due to external factors such as weather and heating. It did brighten my skin. I have also noticed two tiny new pimples but using the serum did not irritate them.

Decent but pricey
Facile clear exfoliating serum is light weight and easy to use. Does have any strong smell. Does exfoliating well. Facile is vegan and clean brand. I feel it is slightly pricey. But is it worth it? Yes.

Amazing
This is an amazing product! I was shocked how well it worked for me. I use this product as a spot treatment when I get breakouts. I was surprised to get very quick results, my big inflamed breakouts go down in size and stop being painful just after one application.

Loving the Facile Clear Exfoliating Serum!
Loving the Facile Clear Exfoliating Serum! First of all, the packaging is amazing. I love that it comes with a pump—it gives me the perfect amount of product every time. The serum gently exfoliates my skin, and by morning my face feels soft and glowy. I’ve noticed a visible difference in my clogged pores—they look smaller and much smoother. Overall, I love how hydrated and radiant my skin looks after using this serum!
