If I was to choose one product that made the biggest difference in my acne it would be this retinol serum. It's an oil based serum so it's quite thick and heavy, you need only 3-4 drops to cover your entire face and neck. It lasts a long time. I am actually struggling to use it all up before it expires as I have had my bottle for a few months and it's still over halfway full. This product, however, has helped me with acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, texture, evening out skin tone, basically anything I can think of, this has helped with it. Skin takes time to adjust to any retinol serum though, so take it slow. I have started my journey with retinol 0.2% I think and saw no results (it also went bad quickly as I left it open accidentally over night) so I got impatient and jumped to 1% however making sire that i apply it only 2 nights per week and buffer it with a moisturiser underneath. I have seen some redness around my eyes and neck so ,i needed to back down a bit, but after a few weeks my skin got used to it. I prefer to use it every other night, interchangeably with my BHA or AHA acids and it works like a dream. I always apply this retinol on top of water based serums (alpha arbutin or niacinamide work great with it) and underneath my thick moisturiser. Works best at night as the sun might deteriorate the retinol and it won't ve as effective, and also always wear spf to protect the skin. -

This product has helped me with my acne a lot. I have been using it for a few months in combination with TO 10%lactic acid and TO alpha arbutin and this helped me so much with acne and hyperpigmentation. The oroduct itself is white and has a thick silicone-y texture, somewhat like a primer. Some people might not like it, it takes some time getting used to it but it works just fine on top of your water based serums and under your moisturiser. -

This product is my absolute holy grail. The first time I used it I saw a decrease in hyperpigmentation over night. It has a light consistency and is completely clear. Doesn't have a lot of smell to it. It's a bit thicker than water. One thing I noticed is that ot doesn't last long. It might be because I use it almost every day and night though. I am on my 2nd bottle and I absolutely love it. Wish they made bigger bottle so I wouldn't have to buy multiple at once -

This acid has improved the texture of my skin immensely. It doesn't penetrate the skin that deep so it targets the hyperpigmentation that sits on top of the skin. As someone with acne prone skin and pigmentation prone skin, I do need a powerful AHA... +
This acid has improved the texture of my skin immensely. It doesn't penetrate the skin that deep so it targets the hyperpigmentation that sits on top of the skin. As someone with acne prone skin and pigmentation prone skin, I do need a powerful AHA acid to get my skin even coloured and this does that. It is has a light orange hue to it and is very watery. There might be slight stinging sensation so do not use this on compromised skin. -

I had heard great reviews on this cleansing balm hence why I really wanted to try it. I can't deny that it cleanses the skin and leaves it smooth and supple, however, once I tried to remove a non waterproof mascara, I was rather disappointed. It did not melt the mascara at all. It takes a good 5 minute rub in order to somewhat get the mascara off, and it doesn't give you that satysfying melt that you expect. On top of that after a few days I noticed small bumps on my forehead which I thought might have been malasezia but it turns out that it's just closed comedones. This product is definitely not for people with oily skin. -
