For years I've struggled with Acne, you name it I have it- Cystic acne, Hormonal Acne, and sometimes Stress acne! Lately I've invested more into the quality of my skincare products and a daily routine to help combat my flare ups.

This helped my dark spots so much i'm on my third bottle. I also like that this can be paired with other serums works very well with azelaic acid

This is a game changer! I was first prescribe this at a 15%. I then bought this strength. Now this will sting/ burn a little until your face gets use to it, it helps to mix it with either your serum or moisturizer

The fragrance free gel cream specifically left my skin Dewy but did not clog my pores. pay close attention to the differences in the water and gel cream. I accidentally picked up the wrong one one time and it wasn't nice.
