Review: Amazing for acne - Amazing for acne and to get clear skin Easy to use great quality and consistency
Review: I've been sleeping this! - This is amazing on my skin. I mostly use around my nose. I apply my other serums, notably the TO 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc. That one is a game changer for me. This one too --goes on as my last step and I only apply on areas that might be problematic and specifically on my nose and in the creases of my nose. I use this once daily. I have tried so many salicylic acid products, including the other TO 2% Salicylic Acid serum....and they all kind of sting, making them unenjoyable...and quite irritating. I don't know why, but this product does not do that...maybe the squalane base cushions the effects --who knows. Salicylic acid is attracted to oil...so I think this formula just goes straight to work on my pores. It has cleared all the sebaceous filaments, both wetter and harder plugs…like just melted them away, this is made obvious because I use a “skin spatula” where its job is to remove the gunk from pores….previously there was a lot to remove daily…now, its almost all gone. Previous salicylic acid products has never done this for me. Meanwhile this serum is non stinging and non irritating. Hope it works for you too! * still using daily in my problem areas. I only use 1 drop and that’s enough for my whole face, so i try to just dab a bit on my finger instead of dripping a drop. I rub in areas I need. If you find it oily, try it as a mask. Leave it on for 10 minutes then dab w a tissue. This and the Niacinamide 10% w zinc leaves my skin looking a lot less congested. Combine w a high veg and fruit diet, less fatty meats and refined carbs/ sugar for more skin benefits.
