You wouldn't think this works for acne all that much, but it totally does! I use a daily retinol at night and use this under sunscreen in the morning and my skin is clearer than it's been since...ever. It's the Tranexamic acid! Gentle enough to be used alongside a retinol, but strong enough to brighten skin and combat acne.

This product, unfortunately, caused major breakouts for me. The smell is pretty strong; my daughter said it smells just like tea tree oil to her. I have oily to combination skin.
