Clear results

This product helps keep my skin clear from blemishes and breakouts and treats any breakouts that do come. A little goes a long way but it was out of stock for a long time. I’ve transitioned to this line and am extremely satisfied with the results.

Finally cleared my hormonal breakouts

The gel texture is so lightweight and sinks in instantly without feeling sticky. It has a mild, clean scent. My active breakouts calmed down in just a few days.

Finally cleared my hormonal breakouts

The gel texture is super lightweight and sinks in instantly without any sticky residue. It has a faint medicinal scent, but it actually calmed my redness and stopped new pimples from forming within a week.

Finally cleared my hormonal breakouts

The lightweight, gel-like texture absorbs instantly without feeling tacky. It has a subtle medicinal scent from the salicylic acid, but my skin texture smoothed out in just two weeks without any dry patches.
