Reviews Summary
Customers say this mandelic serum effectively addresses acne-prone skin while being gentle enough for sensitive skin types. Many reviews mention its ability to smooth skin texture and reduce the appearance of dark spots and post-acne marks. Users frequently note the serum helps prevent breakouts and keeps skin clear with consistent use. Common feedback includes appreciation for its non-drying formula and lack of irritation compared to other exfoliating products. Some mention the serum has a slightly odd smell initially, though most find it tolerable. Reviews consistently praise its brightening effects and ability to create a glowing complexion. Many customers report using it for years as a skincare staple, with several noting they can tell a difference when they stop using it.

    Great serum

    I’ve noticed a visible difference in acne scarring in just a week. I’ll will definitely be getting the next strongest one after this.

    Game changer for all things!

    I've been using this product AM and PM for 6 years. It goes to town on cell turnover, reducing blemishes, evening out pigmentation, and brightening my skin tone. I love this product and will keep using it!

    keeps my skin clear

    This product was recommended by my aesthetician years ago (since covid) and it has kept my skin clear and youthful since. I was using a topical script benzaclin for years and having to see the doctor everytime I needed to renew the script. What a PAIN
