Great for calming
I wasn’t expecting to see such fast results. I suffer from hormonal acne along my jawline and this really helped reduce redness and inflammation in only 3 days of using. Not drying at all and I experienced no flaking or tightness. Really happy and this will replace my previous favourite targeted spot treatment that is 4 times the price! With the niacinamide serum and the salicylic cleanser it’s a perfect routine. Great work Inkey list!

Didnt work for me
I’m sad to say this but this didnt work for me. My skin has been really up and down recently so I decided to buy this the second I heard people saying good things about it but unfortunately my skin didn’t work well with it. Kinda reminds me of a toothpaste mix that people used to put on their faces as diy (ps dont ever do this you will burn your skin) but yeah happy for the people that it works for just aint for me :(

Deserves all the hype!
I’ve suffered with acne for 10 years and I’m now on Accutane but it’s still early days, and so my skin is purging and I needed a spot treatment. I’ve tried a million things over the years and this products is hands down the best. It calmed down my spots super fast with zero irritation. Will buy a backup as soon as there is a re-stock!

Love it
As someone who has combination acne prone skin, this product has been great to use compared to using my prescription benzoyl peroxide as that is extremely drying on my skin. No treatment is ever going to get rid of spots overnight but this does a really good job at minimising and calming breakouts without any dryness whatsoever. Slight strange smell but that is due to the sulfur in the product. Will 100% repurchase this.

Disappointing
This didn’t do anything for my spots. In fact, they were even worse. I found that anywhere I used this, lots of blackheads and clogged pores would appear, surrounding the blemish that I was trying to reduce. Another overhyped product. I would save your money and buy something else. Pimple patches are far superior.

Love It!
As soon as they released this product I knew I had to get my hands on it. Worked it into my routine and works wonders! I use it twice day, morning and night, hides so well under makeup too. You will notice change in just a few days of using it. Highly recommend to anyone who has had problems with no other products working. Just ordered my second one to have as a backup in case it sells out again.

This might be my new go to
Been using mostly benzoyl peroxide for the past 2 years or so, nothing else seems to do better. The downside of it is the bleaching effect. It is rounding clothes and sheets, and you need to be extra careful when you put them on. I bought this a bit scared. My skin reacts badly to salicylic acid usually, and I was worried about the sulfur because I have sensitive skin. I had a really bad cystic acne breakout that nothing helped fighting, and this green paste made it peel and then the inflammation finally started to go down, just hours after putting it on. It didn't burn or itch and it's not messy. I am at day 3 of usage, the acne is not all gone but it's almost over. This product worked 100%. I don't love the green and I can't leave the house with it on, but at least it's easy to wash and affordable. I recommend this to anyone who has cystic acne since some of the usual stuff won’t work for them.

Acne treatment
Honestly suffered from acne for the past year, whilst investing in high brand products to low brand products, nothing seemed to work. The Inkey List succinic acid was the best thing I ever used.

Best Spot Treatment I’ve Tried
I normally don’t buy spot treatments but I decided to purchase this after seeing many skincare channels review it. It has really helped some of my spots, but some it has had no effect on - so keep in mind it won’t work on all types of spots. Best for big whiteheads. Great price point

It works wonders!
Used it about 3 times now, and it's honestly amazing! I've struggled with acne for years now, and it's definitely worth it!
