Used to love this but can no longer use
Kitkat26 Verified Purchase 2024-09-17

I used this product for around 6 months with no problems however, recently it brings my face up in red patches sometimes with an itchy rash as well. This has possibly coincided with a new bottle - has the formula changed? I’m gutted as I previously loved this product and got loads of compliments on my skin but the irritation is too much now.

Truly Effective!
jc park Verified Purchase 2023-11-24

I bough this serum last month along side glycolic acid and marine hyaluronics, I also have very dry skin and very bad cystic acne all over my cheeks, chin, and forehead. I can finally say after a month of use, alternating from glycolic acid and salicylic acid every other day, my skin has cleared up so much! The big painful acne are now gone! I still have some acne of course and texture since its only been a month, but my skin IMPROVED so much! I can wear makeup and my skin will look a lot less textured. this is my routine: AM - wash - marine hyaluronics (combat my extreme dryness) - a…

AJK 2022-03-27

I made the mistake of letting this run out :( and now my skin is paying for it. This helps with congestion and surface whiteheads/spots. I do occasionally get hormonal cysts, and if i get onto them before they fully develop with this then it can help to reduce the size. Unfortunately if they come up during the day and fully develop/swell then this product can't penetrate past the swelling (no topical product does though). I put this on my problem areas (chin, jawline and sometimes forehead) after my night shower before bed. it can be slightly drying though so i do moisturise after o…

JT Verified Purchase 2021-10-28

This is probably the first review I've ever written, but it just needs to be done. I have been struggling with clogged pores and whiteheads for a while. I was reaching the point of desperation. I wouldn't wear make up because tine bumps would mess all the texture of my skin. Overall, I was sad and frustrated. I have never had such bad breakout or clogged pores. I have tried everything, and other salicylic acid serums so I had no high expectations on this. However, IT IS A BLESSING. I'm so thankful to the ordinary for this product. I saw improvements since the first day I applied it. FIRST DAY.…

SK Verified Purchase 2021-10-28

Amazing! I had very deep cystic acne that would just never come to the surface but would become pigmented and scarred and this helped not only bring them to the surface but also heal quickly! It also cleared up a lot of blackheads and congestion. It did, however, make my skin dry and flaky so I was wondering if I could put grape seed oil or hyaluronic acid 2% on top (especially as part of the night time routine) to counteract the dryness?
