I use this product every 2nd day (three times a week) after applying retinol,only to spots. Fortunately it doesn’t cause any irration. Effective I would say is a 8/10.

Salicylic acid.. Wow… Iv been hunting everywhere for a quality Salicylic acid and SF have done it for me… A little goes a long way and by little I mean 2 drops😂🤣 Just to the area that needs some TLC… its abit drying as it like destroyed my pimple over night just leaving the sfter spot but my face was completely rid of pimples… The 30ml goes a real real long way, I would like to suggest maybe a 5ml be made as there are people who will need a definite tester because it holds such strong ingredients. Trust and believe I was very scared to just apply this and I did patch test first

!!!! I’m literally obsessed. It has a light consistency, you don’t apply too much of it and you don’t use it everyday but I’ve barely had any breakouts since using this product (it’s been almost 2 months). I’m no longer experiencing hormonal breakouts and it’s really helped control my maskne. & when a I do get a pimple, for whatever reason, it’ll disappear rather quickly without leaving a mark.
I think it’s v important to follow the product instructions, then you’ll be good

I have acne-prone skin and when I tell you that this is a miracle worker, I’m not joking. My skin has cleared up since then. I am so so so happy with results, I could cry. I thought that it might sting because I have sensitive skin but NOPE. My skin absorbed it with ease. I’m definitely sticking to this FORVER!!!!
