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.
