HG for me
This is amazing for large pores and oily skin. You won’t get rid of the pores but it will definitely diminish their appearance. Apply with a cotton pad a few days a week, it will help to minimize the irritation and drying.

Soft, acne free skin
I have a combination, very acne-prone skin. After a month of use, my skin looks more even, I don't have a single pimple for 2 weeks and my skin is suuuper soft. Beware it can be a little bit drying, though.

Drying and harsh
This made my face feel like it was on fire after I used it twice in 2 days. It dried my face out massively as well. I can’t use it anymore. I have sensitive dry skin and I don’t normally use acids as standard so maybe I made the wrong choice.

Amazing!!!!
I have suffered from redness across the tops of my cheeks for years, very spot-prone there. To be honest, I didn't expect much but thought, why not? I literally cannot believe how amazing this has been, it's almost dissolved my redness overnight. I'm just in shock to be honest. I have before and after pics, but can't post here unfortunately :( Always use this before serum/moisturiser otherwise it can't penetrate your skin and will do nothing.

Life changing
I first purchased this product due to the high amount of positive reviews and I can honestly say that this product does not disappoint. It’s really effective because it’s not harsh on the skin like a typical exfoliant and it leaves you with such smooth skin and it has reduced those pesky red bumps that I have on my cheeks dramatically in the space of 10 days. Very effective for people with oily and combination skin as it also reduces sebum production. It has overall given me a clearer complexion much more effectively than any product I have used before, so I highly recommend it.

Great treatment, prefer the lotion though.
I love this treatment as it definitely gives amazing results. I use twice a day every day and have been doing so for roughly 8 months. However, I would recommend the lotion over this as it lasts far longer. I went through two bottle of liquid September-January and then switched to the lotion at the beginning of January and am still using the same bottle - so the liquid lasted me two months whilst the lotion lasted me 4! Both treatments are effective though!

Disappointed
I had a very high expectation for this product but it doesn't work for me at all. I have been used for 3 weeks and I don't see any difference. I have large pores and black spots but not too bad so I thought it would help, unfortunately, It's not the case.

It’s my new must have
I bought this around a month or so ago, and to be very honest I was hesitant to buy it as there are soooo many good reviews and it sounded a bit too good to be true. But let me tell you something, this bottle changed my skin for the better. I used to have lots of hormonal acne that left dark scars on my face, and I tried so many product to get rid of the scars and nothing really works. But this product lighten my scars within a week or so, don’t get me wrong, it’s not completely gone yet but I see a rapid change in my skin texture and discolouration which means that this works! So it’s well worth the money, my face is now baby smooth. Definitely will repurchase again and again and again. Note: I don’t use this twice a day like it says on the bottle, I only use it on my PM routine

Incredible Product
Been using this product for 6 weeks now. Can say i’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin. I have dry acne prone skin, and this has helped fade my acne scars without drying my skin. I have been using it with the ordinary niacinamide 10% solution and have been loving it. Would recommend to anyone, but i personally only use it every other day rather than everyday/twice a day (as the bottle states) as i found this too much for my skin.

Good but not great
I’ve been using this product for over a month now after hearing everyone rave about it. I’ve seen good results so far but I think I need I’d probably need to use this for at least a couple months more to decide whether or not it actually does everything it promises to. I haven’t been having any major breakout, my skin tone seems to be getting more even but I’m not sure, I have noticed my pores are less visible and to an extent my oiliness has also been reduced. I still have some redness which is persisting and I still do notice some dry patches on my nose even the morning after I use the product. Overall I’ll keep using this to see if things get better. Liking it so far but kinda skeptic, especially because it’s a bit pricier for a bottle this small.
