Pretty good but sensitive skin be careful!
I was excited to receive an acne in product in a gifted box box because I have had acne for most of my life!
This product has awesome acne fighting ingredients like salicylic acid, succinc acid, PHA, niacinamide, zinc and prebiotic. It is also fragrance free and oil free!
I usually get a few white head pimples around my mouth and this product did an excellent job clearing those up quickly! I will say this product can be very drying if you have sensitive skin so I wouldn’t recommend using It too many days in a row. I was able to manage the dryness and breakouts by using a very heavy moisturizer! Definitely check this out if you have acne!

Gentle! And it works great!
I have had pretty good skin these days but a few times over the past couple of months I have used this, and I love it! It’s not drying or irritating, which is surprising but true. It feels silky but not sticky and it absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft. There’s no sting or burn but somehow it cleared up any minor hormonal breakouts I’ve gotten, in less than 24 hours. There’s a lot in this tube, so it’ll last me a long time. It has no noticeable smell either, which was a relief. I also don’t believe it can bleach clothes or bedding, which is a huge plus! I would recommend trying this product! This review was incentivized and honest.

So much serum!
The ingredients are great! Its things i already like to use on my acne, plus i love that its from cetaphil! I will say the packaging confused me a bit because i originally thought it was a cleanser of some sort due to it coming in a tube but, now i love that the serum is in a tube versus a wide glass bottle like the others i own. Makes it more affordable, less likely to break & easy to put on my shelf & not worry about it falling down or getting knocked over. Its a good, medium,weight/ thickness serum for acne prone skin. I can't really tell how well it works for MY skin yet but i do like it! I would definitely keep this on hand for myself after i use up this first tube!
