Very gentle

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I'm enjoying this so far. I was a little nervous about the 4% BHA being too strong, but I started slowly and now my skin has handled it well. I mainly use it at night when my skin feels congested, and I've noticed my skin feels smoother and my pores look a little clearer. I also like the serum-like texture because it's easy to apply and doesn't feel super heavy or sticky. Definitely something I would introduce slowly if you're new to acids, but so far nice experience with it.

I recently started using this product like the description said for around 2 weeks. I started noticing less pores and improving the skin texture. Works for all skin types and is very easy to apply. I recommend everyone to give it a try and see results fast.

Smoothing and pore minimizing

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Noticed a difference in my pores and absorbs nicely into my skin. It does have a slight smell but i don’t mind it. It did not dry my skin i only use it twice a week. Leave my skin feeling smooth as well.

Ultra strength yet still gentle

I was skeptical at first, but this is just what my face needed. It’s like an ultra strength treatment, but the way it’s formulated, keeps from drying my skin out. It helps with my pore size and blackheads. Definitely a great product.

Gets the job done

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The texture is nice and silky. It absorbs into the skin well and it actually does help with breakouts. I didn’t experience peeling but it is very drying. Make sure to moisturize well afterwards. Aside from that, it’s a good product.

Good stuff

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was a bit surprised by the texture even though it says serum on the packaging- I’ve never used a serum toner before. But it felt super silky smooth on the skin, i feel like my skin feels softer & looks smoother as well. I’ve only tried it once so not sure how the product is longer term however just testing it out it feels nice. I don’t have any complaints
