7.5 / 10
Helps with clearing my acne in an effective way. Simple product that does its job. Didn't wow me as I need something more moisturizing, but I believe mid-oily skins would love this serum.
Liquid finish. Absorbs quickly. Has no smell.
✦ Price: Decent for a serum
✦ Lasts 10-12 months but I didn't use it everyday
