Great for pigmentation and breakouts
B Verified Purchase 2025-10-21

I’ve used this daily for almost a month. I’ve not had anything reduce my hyperpigmentation except very expensive laser treatments and that was still not permanent. The photos are over the course of the last month. I also used salicylic acid and a healing salve(beeswax, calendula, sea buckthorn etc). I needed to aplane the dead skin, but only had a dry patch for a couple of days and it wasn’t too bad.

Best product I have ever used for my clogged pores
Mi 2025-09-20

This is the best product I have ever used! Since I stopped taking the birth control pill a year ago, I’ve been struggling with severe acne. It had gotten a bit better over time, but I still had a lot of clogged pores and my skin was far from smooth . I especially had bumps and clogged pores on my temples, chin and forehead. My doctor prescribed retinol and I cut out sugar and dairy from my diet, but nothing seemed to help. I’ve been using this product for just three days and it’s almost completely gone! I’m so happy and grateful!!!

This is wonderful for sensitive redness prone skin
Amanda Verified Purchase 2025-08-04

I’ve been using this product for three weeks, and am so impressed with the results I’ve been having with this product added to my regiment. You apply on clean face, let it work for 15 mins or so, and then apply your moisturizer. I found or to be tingly, without stinging or burning. I use this no more than 1-2 a week- depending on how reactive my skin is due to sun exposure or diet (I’m rosacea prone). My skin is glowy, smooth, and with an improved visual texture to the skin. I’ve been using this along side a mild creamy retinol over moisturizer so the two are alternating and just giving me my…

Holy grail!
Michelle Verified Purchase 2025-05-12

I use all deciem products however I’ve finally found a product that’s completely transformed my skin when I use it regularly. When I use this I just cleanse my skin, apply this, wait a few minutes then put my moisturizer on top. I’ve looked all my life for something to even the coloring of my cheeks from rosacea and this is working! I use it about 3x a week and I haven’t had any sensitivity issues. The only negative was I got 2 cyst-like pimples that I attributed towards the purging process, even though I’m not one to really get acne.

I have been using this product for about three months after receiving a facial at which it was recommended. Clears up a tendency toward small white heads.

One of the best acids
Mogge Verified Purchase 2024-12-04

Gives me an amazing glow without having to worry about irritation! My skin also feel very hydrated after using this. I have been struggling to find a high strength Mandelic acid in Sweden. Mandelic acid is the AHA that gives me the best glow.

WW Verified Purchase 2024-11-18

I have found the acid for my skin!!!! I've used acid from different brands: Lactic acid from The Ordinary, Framboos from Drunk Elephant, Good Gene from Sunday Riley. They all gave me so-so result: some brightening, but act very slow on sebum, whiteheads, clogged pores, etc. It took about the same amount of time (5-7 days) for those to go away with or without using of acid. HOWEVER, this mandelic acid acted so fast on the whiteheads near the brow, and they were almost gone after two nights!!! The overall brightening effect is also more visible. The texture feels hydrating, probably thanks to t…
