I've totally fell in love with this product. I was a little bit skeptical at first as it doesn't have the full allowed concentration of Salicylic Acid (2%) and I was scared it wouldn't be effective enough for my acne. But as it has a lower concentration, the formula is much gentler and I can use it every day unlike many other SA serums that irritate my skin, making me to "take breaks" from them, leading to my acne getting worse as I wasn't able to exfoliate my skin every day as I need (disclaimer: this is just me, not everybody need nor tolerate exfoliating their skin every day).
The formula is also lovely, it doesn't feel sticky at all, it's very lightweight and it smells delicious, as fresh lemons.
The price is also great, being the cheapest serum from Caudalie, around 26€ in Spain. Although the price has around 10€ in the latest months, reaching almost 40€ in some shops, so it's starting to be less affordable, but still (mostly) worth it.
