My skin has been freaking out lately redness, random breakouts, the whole deal but this serum actually helped calm everything down. It’s super lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy, which is a big deal for me because I hate heavy products. After just a few days, my skin already looked less irritated, and it felt smoother too. Plus, it didn’t make me break out, which is rare for new stuff I try. The bottle is also really cute and looks fancy on my bathroom counter. If your skin’s been acting up or just needs some extra love, I totally recommend giving this a shot. It’s worth it gifted by shani

As someone who suffers with hormonal acne, my skin is often out of balance. It gets red and irritated, and I’m left with dark spots or scarring afterwards. This has been an amazing addition to my skincare routine as it addresses all of these concerns. I know the word acid can seem scary, but this actually perfect for my sensitive skin! It’s calming and really helps balance my skins hydration, oil, and sebum levels. Complimentary from shanidarden.

I try to get my hands on any brightening serums to fix my hyperpigmentation and post acne marks. I've used azelaic acid before, but this Shani Darden serum has worked better than any of the other ones I've tried before in a matter of a few days (likely due to the higher concentration of azelaic acid). Also, the oat in it soothes my retinol sensitized skin, so a big win there as well!
The ingredients list in the serum is honestly top notch, and I can't wait to keep using to see how much my skin improves. I would recommend checking this one out, especially if you're prone to post acne marks.

The Shani Darden rescue serum with 10% azelaic complex helped my skin be rejuvenated and feel much better during these cold winter months. The pump system makes it easy to dispense the proper amount of serum that was just enough for my skin. I have combination skin and I used this for a week with no signs of irritation! The product itself is easy to apply and absorbed nicely into my skin. I was able to continue to do the rest of my skincare on top of this serum. Gifted by Shani Darden.
