If you suffer with Milia's... YOU NEED THIS
You will break out to begin with (I did) but put i promise you as your coming to the end of your 30ml bottle you'll be ordering the bigger size, just be patient. I suffer with Milia's across my cheek bones & around the eye area, this is helped attack these better than anything else I've tried before. The texture of the skin has completely changed & my whole face looks clearer. 10/10 from me, I'm desperate for it to come back into stock.

Great Stuff
Gentle and so effective - I really love this exfoliant and works great for a more oily skin type like mine. Much better than other harsh exfoliants. Great alternative if you find that lactic acid, or other exfoliating toners do nothing for you.

Love love love!
I have used face scrub/exfoliants all my life and started to realise that it may be a bit too harsh for my skin especially as I'm ageing and that's when I came across this. I absolutely love it it has transformed my daytime skin care routine and it's something you can use daily. My skin looks glowy and tight. I will definitely keep repurchasing.

Not for me.
I was really excited to use this on my face based on so many positive reviews. Just to be sure I got the 30ml to try and I'm glad I did. Yes, my skin was a bit smoother in the morning but I can get that from other products. I have sensitive skin (as a lot of people lately) and this just made it worse. It sucked all the moisture out of my skin and it has taken me a very long time to get it back to where it was before this product. I think it would be good for someone that doesn't have any breakouts and wants a quick skin resurfacer.

relly good
It really calms down the redness and helps with active breakouts. Also, a lot of people complain about its oiliness but I have to say it's not heavy at all. Only at the beginning, it has a slip but it sinks in quickly and it's so hydrating and moisturizing you don't need anything else besides your moisturizer. Overall really satisfied.

Be patient, it's worth it
This is the third time I've bought the product in the last 3 years, I'm happy purchasing the small bottle as it lasts so long, and would highly recommend... Agreed with some comments that you need to give it time as you probably won't notice results straight away, but it will be worth it! Skin is clearer and definitely has a nice glow... For application, I apply 3-5 drops once a day on my skin, and I personally avoid application too close to my eyes. It does feel slightly tingly and doesn't smell amazing (but id rather a product that focused on working well than smelling nice.)

Trust me, just be patient
For the first 10 days of using this serum I got a couple of breakouts, but I was patient with using it and it paid off. The pores are less visible, there are no more breakouts, my whole face looks clearer and I got the glow. Also the important thing after this serum is hydration, so make sure you also find something that works for your skin after this BHA if you want to get better results.

It's that great
I've bought a few bottles already for the past few years, and now I know why. I tended to use this more sporadically, but recently I had a few breakouts so started to use it about 3/4 nights a week and my skin has completely changed. It's more clear and even. It can be a bit drying, but nothing like other acne treatments I used in the past and with a solid moisturizer after you are good to go. It also didn't cause any sensitivity which I love. Will buy again for sure

Oily ... didnt do what it promised on the bottle
This worked for the first 2 weeks, thought I'd landed a winner.....unfortunately my spots came back worse after 2 weeks use. Didn't clear my blackheads either! Quite sad this didn't work as it was highly recommended by others. Back to the drawing board for me...

Great, not drying
I decided to try out this product because of its popularity and I have to say it does live up to its expectations. Unlike a lot of drying BHAs, this one doesn’t dry out my very very dry skin. On the contrary, it’s actually hydrating like a normal toner. I’ve been using it for a month, 3 days a week and I’ve noticed that the day after I use it, my pimples either disappear, become significantly smaller or they fill up with pus and in my case, that process can take up to a week, but with this product, it happens overnight. :)
