I received this product in a beauty advent calendar. Packaging is pretty simple & price point wise it’s more on the expensive side. My skin type is dry, dehydrated and sensitive. In regards to my sensitive skin this product didn’t irritate it at all or cause any adverse reactions. I apply this by pouring a little of it onto a cotton pad & apply it that way. You really don’t need to use a lot of this, a little really does go a long way. I didn’t particularly notice much of a scent to it. After application my skin felt so much more softer & looked much more healthier. It did help get rid of my dead skin cells too. My skin also felt much more hydrated & nourished after use too. I would definitely recommend it and I would constantly repurchasing it in the future. I’ve given it 4 stars instead of 5 purely due to the price of it but other than that there’s nothing else I can really complain about!

There is a reason why everyone loves it. It does what it says. It may sounds like it contains ingredients you can find elsewhere cheaper, but for some reason, it works, whilst the cheaper ones do not (trust me I have tried them).

I firstly bought the tiny bottle of this to try it and WOW i have oily/combination skin and can sometimes be a little textured! It first of all gave me a few spots in t-zone (to be expected as it draws out impurities) but now my skin is THE BEST it has ever been and absolutely glowing i have already repurchased the larger size 🥰

I have been quite unsure about this product when I finally tried it. First, my skin got really bad which I expected as usually it takes some time for skin to get used to such things and I'm used to the skin getting worse before getting better. I almost gave up to be honest because I got all the bad and none of the good. But I pushed through and it took almost a month until my skin really took to it. I have to say the formula is amazing! It feels great on the skin, does not sting at all and is comfortable on the skin. It layers quite well as well.
Now I feel it keeps my skin in good condition and I can see my sebatious filaments being pushed to the top but like all exfoliants I've used this sometimes means they get stuck just at the top and I need to extract them as they won't go on their own. I don't think this necessarily helps with cystic acne as they claim (especially in their add) and I still need to use tretinoin for those. I still think it's helping my skin in the long run and will be repurchasing it as my BHA.

Amazing product with no irritation! I use this every day to keep my tzone blackheads at bay !
When you first put the product on it leaves a slightly oily feel to the face but that soon goes away after 10 mins or so!
