    • If you actually understand how to use it, it's amazing.
Style: Full Size - 4 Fl Oz
My skin type: - Very Dry, easily dehydrated - Oily nose - Prone to stubborn acne and closed comedones - Redness on chin and cheeks (not rosacea) I already use a nightly Tretinoin cream (.04% concentration) to help with my acne and premature signs of aging but decided with my derm that incorporating a BHA would be a good idea to help with my seriously stubborn closed comedones and some irritating textural issues. It was between this and the Cerave SA lotion and I ultimately decided on this due to the higher concentration of salicylic acid. It's moisturizing, and feels sticky for the first 5-10 minutes after application but seems to sinks in to something of a satin finish on me and I can no longer feel it on my skin. You just have to be a little patient. My skin feels well hydrated and plump after it settles and looks really smooth and my pores aren't as obvious. It sits just fine under makeup for me but I'm not a new user to chemical exfoliants so I don't have lots of dead skin pilling up or sloughing off when I use it, my skin is, for the most part, already very smooth outside the acne and CCs. Occasionally I'll apply it further down my neck/decolletage than usual and WOW do I old skin just ball up and peel right away - it's so gross but also satisfying. So those that don't exfoliate often or are new to BHA/AHAs will likely have issues with foundation until their skin adjusts (but it will adjust). My advice in those cases is to either use this at night for the first few weeks or just accept going barefaced for a little while if you can. I'd strongly suggest not applying this product over anything that you feel does not dry down fully, the times I've attempted to use it after serums or heavier products it takes forever to sink in and sometimes never fully does. I save all my serums and essences for after this has absorbed and it's far easier to work with it as a result. My steps go like this most days: ACWell Licorice toner --- PC 2% BHA --- 10% Niacinamide serum --- TO Matryxil serum --- Secret Key Black Snail cream or Syn-ake cream w/ 3 drops Stratia Fortify oil --- Sunscreen. It works fairly quickly IMO, on my neck where I typically don't apply my Tret at night I noticed the peeling and balling of dead skin on day one and on my face where I have a patch of really awful CCs I noticed them getting smaller and smoother by around day 3-4. I'm going on about 8 days now and they're barely visible unless I'm right up in the mirror and feel as if they're almost gone when I touch my fingers to that area. I do have some slight peeling of the skin around my mouth and nose but it's not terrible (likely because I already exfoliate the heck out of my skin with the tret). Some tips and things keep in mind: 1) DO NOT RINSE IT OFF. I don't understand some of the top reviews advising people to do that, it says on the bottle not to rinse and nearly all chemical exfoliators are meant to be left on until the next cleansing specifically so they can do their job. If you rinse it off you're either going to prevent it from properly exfoliating or end up irritating the hell out of your skin. If you have oily skin and feel this might be heavy on you than you can probably just use this on bare skin and then sunscreen if you use in the AM or a lightweight lotion/cream and be done with it, but you need to leave it on your skin. 2) You have got to use sunscreen while you're using this product! Any BHA or AHA exfoliant causes increased sun sensitivity and you have to address that in your routine. You should already use sunscreen daily but it becomes a must when you incorporate a chemical exfoliator or you risk sun damage. 3) Less is more! Don't slop this on your face or soak a cotton pad in it, a little goes a long way and you'll be kicking yourself if you apply way too much and have to wait 20+ minutes for it to sink in. Use a shake or two and add more if needed but go easy. 4) Expect some irritation initially. Chemical exfoliants can be harsh and rough even on sturdy skin and you have to give yourself time to adjust. Over-exfoliation is a possibility but sometimes just introducing a BHA or AHA into your routine can cause some sensitivity. Don't panic and just be gentle to your skin. Use ceramides (like Cerave Skin Renewing cream) or fatty oils to soothe your face if needed and try to stay away from any harsh products or acids like Vitamin C right after applying this to avoid really burning your face. ... show more

    • This exfoliant didn't disappoint, worth the splurge!
Style: Full Size - 4 Fl Oz
I have been using this exfoliant for almost 2 months and I'm a big fan. For my whole life i've been struggling with enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and occasional breakouts. My skin type is oily however i also get dry around my nose area and chin. I am really surprised how this product changed my skin in 2 short months. My pores are significantly reduces and the overall texture of my skin feels very smooth. I use it once a day in the evening, 5-6 drops after i apply moisturizing toner. I did my research to ensure this product does not conflict with Retinol (which i use every other night) and i finish my routine with a moisturizer. I don't know if i can give 100% credit for significant skin improvement just to this Exfoliant, however i am confident that it integrated very well with my skincare routine and is contributing to a great overall result. ... show more

    • My skin is improving !!!!
Style: Travel Size - 1 Fl Oz
I like this product after using a few times. I’m seeing shrinkage in pores in general, a smoothness already. Also I see my face looking a little brighter as well. I starting with a 1oz bottle but will definitely buy larger size when low on the 1oz. I have very sensitive fair skin that felt rough to the touch, like a plaque build up. I learned grainy type exfoliators can tear the skin and ruin your skin barrier, many are so drying as well. I gave this a chance with all the reviews. I’m happy I tried it and my sensitive skin is not at all irritated by it. I do wear a good sunscreen in the daytime as recommended when using this. Am I pleased? Yes, yes, yes !!!! 👍🏻👏🏻 ... show more

    • Smaller pores!
Style: Travel Size - 1 Fl Oz
I’ve been using the travel size for like a week or so and can already see a difference. That’s just using it ONCE DAILY. It’s hard to tell how much to really put on (I use my hands to get the most product use). I don’t mind the bit of greasiness it has bc my skins so dry it just absorbs it super quickly. My only complain is the price but it is what it is. Skin care is expensive any way you go ... show more

Review Image by Charle-ann Charle-ann
First time I bought this was in Sephora (same price) after it was recommended to me. Loved it so much but the closest Sephora to me is a good 30 min drive. Amazon was faster. I use this about 2x weekly to help clear up my pores and smooth over my skin. Just a few drops on a cotton pad. It’s almost like it helps clean off any dirt and oil that may be left after face washing. In Sephora, the sales associate mentioned it helps reduce the size of pores. Keep it away from your eyes!! The tiny bottle last me about 5-6 months. If you’ve ever used NuSkin products before; this is very similar to the NuSkin 2 step cleaning and clarifying pads. But this is way better and last longer. ... show more
