I love this product! I have fair, sensitive skin and have rosacea type 2 (pustules + red flares) with overall acne prone skin. She fussy. My skin had been responding very well to prescription azelaic acid but as I've gotten my rosacea under control, I wanted something over the counter that maximized results. This serum is an absolute JOY to use. It's silky and sinks right in. I use this in my PM routine every night and I've had zero negative reactions. It's equally calming as it is powerful at fading post acne marks and overall redness while reducing skin texture. Literally, no notes. I will happily buy this again.

I haven't seen any changes in the dark spots and it's drying. I used as directed and I've had to not only use moisturizer but Vaseline to keep the moisture in. Will not be buying again.

So far so good
I’ve been using this a few weeks now and my dark spots have faded. I am also using it on my teenage son with his acne and I can’t tell just yet how much it’s helping but his breakouts are not getting worse. Will stick with the serum to see the long term results. So far, I am happy with it.

Another winner from SD
I wasn’t sure this was for me, but it’s such a wonderful tool in my regimen. I use it a couple times a week. I feel that it helps with any congestion or breakouts that decide to pop up. Also a great travel buddy.

Best serum I’ve tried in a long time!
This is absolutely amazing
I literally look forward to putting it on my face.
So hydrating, not sticky and absorbs right away.
Totally reduced appearance of redness and some sun spots too!
