Hello! I was wondering how long do you usually have to use this to see a difference? And do I put it all over my face or only specific spots.

The time it takes to see results can vary depending on the other products in your routine, how consistently you use it, and the severity of your concerns.

Helping treat my hormonal acne
Sharing my skincare journey because I was desperate for help when I was trying to figure out my skincare routine. I am 26 years old, fair skin, I have never had major skin issues (acne, oiliness, dryness, etc). I used to not wash my face at all, I would only use makeup remover to take off my eye m...

Used to be a favorite

Odd reaction
I have been using this product for years. It seems that the bottle ive purchased recently is giving me some kind of reaction. I didnt think this is what was causing it as its been a part of my routine for years now. I only normally apply along my jawline and down my neck but i have been having some pretty bad redness irritation and swelling every morning after ive applied this. Not sure if somethings changed but I would be cautious or maybe do a patch test before using on your face
pretty good
my blackheads almost gone . ( My serum is barely half )
Love this serum!
I love this serum because of its efficacy, and price point. Spread ability is out of this world too. For these reasons, (and as long as it doesn't change), I will purchase above all of these overrated and expensive brands.
Great
Love it
