Acne prone essential
Adore this product! I use it every other day to prevent acne flare ups and to keep my pores clear and prevent congestion. I have noticed a huge difference with a reduction in pore visibility as it reduces sebaceous filaments, especially those around the nose and chin. For the odd spot that does rear it's ugly little head I use this as a spot treatment directly onto it and the salicylic acid helps to dry and clear it quickly (I know it's not marketed as a spot treatment) but trust me it works.

Checking if it is worth the hype
I am just starting my testing of this product and have high hopes. My skin has improved itself thanks to a diet change but some of the hormonal changes still appear so hoping that with a long term use the skin will improve.Â

Amazing
My skin feels clean and Radiant even after one use I can't wait to see the results once I've finished the bottle

Good exfoliating item
My friend recommended this me and I have to say this is a very effective exfoliating item. The only drawback is the skin pilling. It might actually because I put too much on my face or I put some lotion before applying the exfoliant. Personally I like the Daily pore-refining treatment which is more gentle but of course this one is more effective.Â

Great
Much better for my dry skin than the liquid, noticeable difference when I use it

Effective
Chose the lotion version because my skin was feeling a bit dry. This exfoliant was nicely moisturising, and also did help clarify my skin. I now prefer a lighter textured exfoliant so I can add a thicker moisturiser on top without feeling too greasy but this lotion was great!

Like it so far
Every one recommends this product online and I do like it but haven't seen the most drastic results. This may be because I am not the most consistent person with mit skincare routine but I will continue to use to in the future

My fav!
I use this alongside the serum BHA exfoliant and I’ve noticed a major difference in my skin. My pores look so much cleaner and less noticeable. I also use a moisturiser on top because this leaves your skin feeling slightly dry after.Â

Great for blemish prone skin
This is just great!! I use this maybe 1/2 times a week and it helps my skin and keep my acne at bay.Â

Love it
I'd received a sample of this and needed to get the full size. I've only stopped using it for the time being as I had a couple of other exfoliating toners to try (ren + pixi) and neither compare. Will definitely be repurchasing when I've done with my others.
