  • Smells horrible, but works well
This stuff smells absolutely horrible, so if you're using it for your nose you're going to have a bad day... but it works so well that it's worth it in my opinion. I haven't experienced any of the negative issues that other people mentioned. Regarding chemical burns - I don't have sensitive skin, and I've only used it a max of once per day, and no issues so far. Cleared up my skin super quick as well so I'm only using it as needed vs daily. Regarding bleaching of pillow cases, I waited a minimum of 30 minutes before going to bed and haven't noticed any issues with discoloration of my pillow cases. (My pillow cases are black) So far I'm happy with my purchase. ... show more

  • Gentle Yet Effective Serum for Clearing Pores
This serum has been a great addition to my skincare routine. The mix of salicylic, glycolic, mandelic, and polyhydroxy acids works together to unclog pores and smooth skin texture without being overly harsh. It absorbs quickly, feels lightweight, and doesn’t leave my skin greasy. With consistent use, I’ve noticed fewer blackheads and clearer, more balanced skin. The 1 oz bottle is small but a little goes a long way. Overall, this is a powerful yet gentle serum for anyone dealing with stubborn blackheads. ... show more

  • No burning
I like the applicator tip. I’m not a fan of the smell. Kind of medicinal. It doesn’t burn like other products I’ve used. I use this after cleansing and dark spot application.

  • Ok
Seller didn’t ship order for one month, finally received the item. Expiration date is ok, packaging too. The serum has strange strong smell, I guess it’s sulfur. Serum is transparent and invisible when applied. Can be a bit sore if there’s damaged skin. I have blackheads on my nose so I applied it only there. No sticky feelings. Will continue to use, hope it will help to rid off of blackheads. ... show more

  • Smells nauseating
So, despite this product smelling like mold and being almost unbearable, it does work to decrease the oiliness on my face. I don't know yet if it's effective for blackheads. It makes my skin feel soft. I am extremely hesitant to repurchase due to the smell and will look instead for similar products with the same ingredients. It feels weird putting something that smells so rotten on my clean face. ... show more

  • Works really well but dries you out so use lotion
Very easy to apply. Right after a shower I will squeeze a small amount on my forehead, both cheeks, around my nose and my chin. I rub it in, let it dry and then apply face lotion. If I forget the lotion, I will be reminded of it all day because my face will be so tight and shiny. (I don't wear make up) It's not oily, kind of watery and thin tbh. Gotta rub it in fast. Keeps my face clear and my pores normal looking. This is my second time purchasing, will repurchase after this as well. ... show more
