Great for Healing Fast and Avoid Scars

Love this product. It helps avoid acne scars. It also minimizes redness, swelling and size efficiently. Great to wear under makeup to protect.

Love this product but..

Love everything about this product, the oorujnla, the consistency, the no fragrance, love everything EXCEPT the packaging, every time I finish it I feel there is always some at the bottom that the dropper can not reach.

Its ok.

This is for my son he has been using this for a while. I don't see much improvement. I think he should continue little bit more.

It's decent

It dries into a clear, slightly sticky layer. It works okay, I wish it was a bit thicker liquid to make application easier, and the concentration of salicylic acid is a bit low for a spot treatment (maybe 5% would be more effective).

Mid

Isn't effective in addressing my acne problems. But it feels nice on the skin. May help with controlling redness but for the price, I expect more.
