Reviews
This product has drastically changed my skin! It heals blemishes overnight and gives me glowing skin when I wake up. I am never without this serum!!
Wow, I love this product because its so gentle yet effective.
I have sensitive skin, so sometimes when I see a list of acids in product, I cringe, because I don't want to irritate my skin. But there's no irritation with this product. I put it on at night after using the Type 3 cleanser and toner. I love waking up to clear, glowing skin.
I never use to get acne, but I went off birth control and bam got slammed with painful hormonal cystic acne on the jaw and side of my face. I used tons of different expensive k-beauty products, and while they made my skin “glow” they did nothing for my painful acne. I tried this and the next night I noticed an improvement! I still get the occasional blemishes but my skin has improved sooo much! And I’m hoping with continued use this will help lighten those pesky acne scars left behind!
I’ve ordered this serum several times over the past couple years and it’s a lifesaver . It works well to clear up acne cystic acne hormonal breakouts but doesn’t harm your skin in the process , it doesn’t overdry or cause scaring and with myself going through pre menopause hormone imbalances I keep this for those nasty flare up jaw line chin area breakouts
This serum is amazing for helping to prevent breakouts, and keep your pores unclogged. Use it 3 nights a week - it is not harsh on the skin, does not dry you out.
This and the anti-bump solution were my first purchase, in a week where I had an incredibly bad breakout. I had such great results I went back and bought nearly all the products for skin type 3 to keep those good results. It's the best product line for acne-prone skin I've ever encountered!
