Awful

I tried this for 3 weeks and it only made my acne so much worse. I was getting new huge pimples every single day even on my neck and I don’t ever get pimples there. I thought maybe it’s supposed to get worse before it gets better so I stuck with it for 3 weeks and it only got worse. I stopped using and my acne cleared up within a week of stopping.

Best product I e used for acne & uneven skin

I’m 31 and I’ve struggled with acne and uneven skin for as long as I can remember. I’ve used this product for 9 months and it has completely transformed my skin. My forehead that used to be covered in spots under the skin is completely clear and any spots that try to appear go down really quickly. It’s honestly incredible and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Not for me

I used this product for 7 weeks for acne and blackheads, and it seems like this might not be for me. I didn't mind the oily texture since I have dry skin, but it only made my skin worse and new pimples appeared every day... I've now stopped using it, but I'm not sure what to do anymore. I'm disappointed but I'm sure it can help someone else.

Perfect for my skin!

Like others, I bought this thinking it was the other salicylic acid product. HOWEVER it ended up being great for someone with both dry and acne prone skin. I've never used any form of face oil but I'm now converted. I use this at night after face wash, before a bit of moisturizer- nice and simple. It will leave your face slick, but that won't last long. I've always struggled with dryness, but didn't want to slather my sensitive, acne prone skin with pore clogging, thick products. This product solves that and keeps my skin care simple (one product, treating 2 things at once- acne and dryness). Love it!

Too strong for mature skin

This is VERY drying for me. When applied with moisturizer, there is just too much product on my face. My pores were minimized the next morning though. Had to buy barrier cream to treat the dryness this caused.
