This has probably been the product that has made the most difference in my skin. It's clearing up breakouts and acne that I've had for the longest time. My skin looks and feels so much better and I've only been using it for about 2-3 months now.

Works! Doesn’t irritate my skin when used on a dry surface. I hate how my skin looks when it sends all the clogged sebum to the surface of my skin, but it clears over time and leaves the skin incredibly firm and smooth. It’s the only not cruelty-free product I use just because it’s benefitted me so greatly and, in my opinion, is indisputably the best prescription-grade retinoid especially for sensitive skin.

Been liking it so far
I've used the biossance 100% squalane oil for a while now but since amyris (biossance's owner) has filed for bankruptcy they no longer sell in my country, so I had to find a substitute and this one has been a great one so far! Even more hydrating I dare to say.
