Extremely harsh; caused irritation with no benefits. Not worth it.

Extremely harsh (less so than Yeouth?); no noticeable benefits. Not worth it.

Oily and too mild to be effective.

Oversaturated formula and still too mild to be effective.

Lovely smell, pleasant to apply in the morning straight out of the fridge. Seems to brighten skin, but overall probably not the most impactful active.

Effective and gentle enough for everyday use. Watery, with no residue. Clean, attractive packaging. Discontinued on iHerb?

Effective, also on body. Hate the name.

Harsh but reliable. Unpleasant soapy residue; also produces waste. Decent spot treatment.

A bit oily on application; feels sticky but hydrating. Not actually salicylic acid. Surpsisingly effective. Hate the name. Easily available on iHerb.

Oily and largely useless.

Improves texture and highly effective against closed comedones. Well tolerated. Not clean and not vegan. Pills.

Niacinamide with a mild salicylic acid derivative. Unnecessary and not vegan.

Clean and excellent entry azelaic acid. A bit drying (perhaps the zinc). Amazon only.

Highly effective and pleasant to apply. Not greasy. Started out with twice daily use; now down to once daily in the morning. Only via AU chemists?
