Description

  • BHA Clarifying Serum by Renée Rouleau uses a powerful blend of time-released Lactic, Glycolic and Salicylic Acids to clear clogged pores, lift blemish scarring and red marks, lessen oil production and reduce acne-causing bacteria—without causing irritation. Pores will be cleaner and appear less bumpy and you'll see a dramatically noticeable improvement in your skin's clarity and texture (even over other salicylic creams), with continued use. Ideal for even the most sensitive skin types. The result? Smoother, clearer and more even-toned skin with fewer visible blemishes.

    Size: 0.5 fl oz

    Incredibly smoothing and acne clearing serum!

    Ive been using this serum for 3 years now and although i havent totally tackled all aspects of my acne this keeps it 90% under control, its incredible for both anti aging and acne management while not deying out or stinging, if properly used. Renee’s products and in depth knowledge shared on the blog is unmatched in the market.

    Just started using, but love it

    I've only used this for about 1.5 weeks, but I already love it! My skin is less oily but not dried out.

    I should’ve started with this product FIRST!

    It’s been a month since using this and I’m finally seeing my skin clear up from breakouts. I used to have to use the anti bump treatment every night but now I have less breakouts overall. This is a must for hormonal acne prone skin. I’m still patiently waiting for the hyperpigmentation to go away but I know that it will happen soon! I wish I would’ve used this product from the jump when I first started using Renee’s line.

    Life Saver!

    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.
