Reviews
I use this serum as a spot treatment and it helps calm down my breakouts in a few days. For hormonal acne the rapid response detox masque and this product work well together to prevent and eliminate it.
You can really see results after using it for a couple of weeks. It’s become one of my favorite products!
About my skin: I’m 29 and have always had oily skin. Recently, my skin has gotten a little less oily, and I’ve started to struggle with stubborn acne that I think is hormonal. // I’ve been using this serum at night for two weeks, alternating with the skin correcting serum + using anti-bump and the spot treatment lotion as needed. I bought these because I was desperate to find something to help with stubborn acne that my old products (from Sephora) just couldn’t handle. After two weeks, I still have some breakouts, but the size / intensity has reduced, and the overall quality of my skin has dramatically improved (clear pores, redness diminished) such that I feel way more confident going without makeup to let my skin breathe. (I know Renee Rouleau encourages wearing makeup to protect skin, but my skin is so picky that I’d personally prefer to avoid face makeup if I can right now.) If you’re struggling with acne, I would highly recommend trying these products. I also have the detox mask and the daytime blemish gel, but for my skin, I think the real MVPs (that I’d recommend people with similar needs start with first) are this BHA clarifying serum, the skin correcting serum, anti-bump, and the spot treatment lotion.
AMAZING! Best for acne prone and sensitive skin types:)... one of my holy grails and a product I can’t live without!
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!!
