It works!
After 3 days the sebaceous filament on my nose are practically gone and the breakout on my cheek due to mask wearing is gone. I truly recommend purchasing this product!

Does what it promised
Absolutely fantastic product. First time used I could not believe that it works so fast and effectively. However, I was so excited that used twice a day (the manufacturer says it is ok). But next day my skin was so dry and sensitized. Better to increase the "rest time for skin". Best of the best for pimples, acne and blackheads.

Amazing Product!
I have lots of issues with my skin and suffer from dermatitis. I have lots of problems with redness which I really struggle to find products to help with this. After trying A LOT of different skin care regimes over the years I thought when I purchased this liquid exfoliant it would be like the rest. I was SO wrong, it’s amazing! My redness is practically gone, my skin feels soft, glowing and I went out for the first time make-up free in a very long time since it has improved my skin so much. I am so impressed and I am so glad I’ve added this to my skin care! Buy buy buy!

Maskne gone in 2 days!
Amazing!!! Since face coverings/ masks have been mandatory in the UK, my skin really broke out -especially on my chin with under the skin bumps and spots, that were really sore too. I’ve never suffered from acne (I’m 28) This product has healed all spots (they’ve scabbed over/ redness has gone!) and bumps have diminished after using for only 2 days! The red blotches on my cheeks have also disappeared, I am already going to purchase the full size, highly recommend amazing product!!!!!

This stuff actually works
I use this as a toner after I’ve cleansed/double cleansed my skin. I have large pores and the occasional spot. The main benefits I’ve noticed is if I had a spot the night before and I use this, it reduces the spot dramatically overnight. My skin also looks brighter. Ive had basically no spots since using the gentle exfoliator every night, it clears clogs pores and there’s no dirt/make up left on my face. Only one negative, it’s quite uncomfortable on the skin, skin almost doesn’t feel very breathable but it soaks in within 5-10 minutes. Doesn’t bother me at all.

Breakouts No More
After reading all the positive reviews I thought I would give this a try and I’m so glad I did! I have really noticed a difference in my skin since using. I normally suffer with breakouts but they seem have disappeared. I can’t recommend this product enough I have just purchased the smaller bottle too for travelling!

Phenomenal
Not to be dramatic, but this product completely transformed my skin. I've suffered for years with cystic acne and this has been the only thing that has made an impact. The change was noticeable in weeks. I get fewer spots now and when I do, they aren't as big and they don't stick around as long. I also have sebaceous filaments in my T-zone area which appear visibly reduced. A little goes a long way. Don't apply using a cotton pad!! It's a liquid but it has an oily texture so I simply shake 4 or 5 drops into the palm of my hand and smooth it over my skin with my fingers, focusing mainly on my problem areas but pretty much over my whole face (avoiding eyes). I've been using the same travel size bottle for months and I've barely made a dent in it.

Fantastic breakout controller
If my skin ever seems to be on the brink of a breakout, the first thing I do after cleansing is take a cotton pad soaked with this acid and wipe it over the affected area. I wake up the next morning and the area seems calmer, the spots less angry. There is - of course - no way of proving this product is what has caused my skin to clear up, but as someone who has dealt with bouts of cystic acne in the past, I do really think this makes a difference. I’ll always have a bottle on my shelves.

Changed my skin
I have suffered with breakouts, blackheads and just oily skin all my life. Even stuff I had prescribed from the DR didn’t clear my skin, as well as this stuff, did. Even after I double cleanse my face my cotton pad has dirt on it. This stuff is just like a magnet to dirt and cleans your pores out !! It doesn’t dry my skin. Always have to have a backup!

Amazing for acne prone skin but not overnight
I've literally never left a review on any product before but with this one I just had to: it really is a game changer. I have oily, acne prone skin that is super sensitive to irritation. During lockdown my skin has been acting up more than usual so I wanted to take the time to try this product that came highly recommended from my friends. Whilst I did not wake up the next day with transformed skin, within the first week my skin is literally glowing. My family (who never notice haha) actually commented that I had a glow several times. It is a lot smoother, clearer and a lot of the congestion I had is gone. Particularly, closed comedones I had on my forehead that LITERALLY no product has been able to tackle were literally killed off by this product. I do want to add a word of warning though: it says to start it off slowly and being over zealous (also at home so who is going to see me) I basically immediately got myself to once daily use. I purged as a result which is fine because those pimples were on their way out anyway but if that's something you don't want to deal with then use a more conservative approach of a couple of times a week. However, it has not dried my skin out at all with this daily use when usually my cheeks react very easily and dry out when I take it too far. Overall, amazing product and I don't see myself ever being without it. If your break outs have been getting you down please try this and I truly hope it works for you.
