I don't really have a lot of cystic acne or large noticeable skin issues so honestly, I didn't see very obvious results or large differences. But, however, I have noticed my skin feeling smoother, the skin tone feeling more even, and a lack of newly developed acne after using this every day for 3 weeks. This product is a good preventative measure and overall well formulated however you have to Show more

I actually love this exfoliating serum for my very oily skin! I use it 3 times a week and only use two baby drops of it that I apply mostly on my T zone. The mornings after I use it, my skin feels lighter and purified. Try not to mix this serum with retinoids or vitamin C, although I mixed it with only derivatives (was told it’d be ok by employees), my skin felt a bit sensitive when I did.
