Definitely worth a try
I have combo skin type (mostly oily though) and suffer from hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores. I've been using this product for a month and it has greatly improved the appearance of my skin and makes my pores look shrunken! (they're still there but it seems to have shrunk by ~40% for me!). It hasn't done as much for the hyperpigmentation issue- I admit my skin looks brighter but when I solely focus on the dark areas on my face (forehead and mouth), it looks just slightly better (but maybe it will take more time for it to show). I couldn't resist the hype over this product on social media but I'm glad to have bought it! It took me around 3 days of use to see changes. Also, I feel that the pricing is a bit much and should be around £20-25 (not much of a jump from £28 but it just doesn't sit right with me :o) but I will still continue using and supporting this product (at least until a cheaper and better alternative is out lol) P.S Make sure NOT to mix retinol with this product! and DO make sure to use suncream after this using this product if you use it in the morning/ daytime :)

No words!
This is everything, was sceptical even after reading all the five star reviews but this has improved my skin more than I could have ever imagined, reduced redness and eliminating texture over time could not be happier with it, will continue to repurchase. 5 *

Best one out there
This baby is a game-changer. Power-packed! A thin layer is more than enough and a little goes a long way. It unclogs my pores like magic. Products that would otherwise be on borderline for breaking me out stay put when I layer this in. If it is too strong then must be used less frequently. This treatment based on salicylic acid is excellent for my oily acne-prone skin. Comes in small as well as the big size and lasts a long long time. Apply it for a busy morning or night's sleep, I follow on with SPF in the day and good moisturizer at both times. My only tip would be to not overstep the thin layer whether it is short time wear or long night one. You may risk over-exfoliating or ruining your skin barrier.

New Staple Product!
This was the first time that I used a liquid exfoliant and now I cannot put it down. It sinks into the skin easily and leaves no residue, I simply swipe it across the skin with a cotton pad after I have cleansed my skin. I was worried about using this with combination skin but it did not emphasise my dryer areas, if anything it hydrated them. My skin is smoother with less texture and my pores are smaller. It feels hydrated, clean, and overall looks a lot clearer and healthier. Everyone should try this and I will be recommending it to everyone! 10/10!

Holy Grail
I bought this after suffering with acne for years and wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype. It absolutely does and I wouldn't be without it now. I've been using it 3 times a week for 3 months now and the number of spots I've had has reduced dramatically, and the ones I have had have been nowhere near as angry as before, and they have disappeared quickly too. Would recommend to anyone who has acne as it's been one of the only products I've tried that actually helped.

Amazing product!
After many years and since have experienced more spots (maybe due to hormone changes) I often have cystic acne on my chin anyway so I have been trying all tea tree and spit treatments with no luck. I have dry skin so I was hesitant on trying this but I have been using this once a day, every two days, applying with my hands and have had NO spots. When I see or feel a bump under my skin I pop this on and the next day they’re gone!

WOW
Having sensitive dry skin I thought this wouldn't work and the TikTok hype would be useless, but it was amazing for my skin! I use it every morning, though it says morning and night on the bottle, because of my skin type and how easily it is irritated. After around 3 weeks I saw big differences in the texture around my nose, the size of my pores and the overall look of my skin! I find applying with my hands the best and easiest way, it sinks in a few seconds, no residue and everything applies nicely on top! If you have dry sensitive skin and exfoliating is such a pain because of stinging, reactions, redness etc.. I think this will surprise you and I hope it works for you!

Amazing!!
Been using this at night every other night or every two nights and I have seen such a difference. My skin looks smoother and nearly all my blemishes have gone. When this bottle runs out I will be purchasing another. Highly recommend!!
