Works great for blind pimples + hyperpigmentation!

I bought this a couple weeks ago and have been using it every other night before the Cicaplast Baume. I've been struggling with hormonal blind pimples and hyperpigmentation scarring and I've seen a reduction in my active breakouts, have far less new pimples popping up and the scarring is visibly reduced! Great combo which helps reduce the risk of damaging my skin barrier and doesn't flare up my sensitive skin

Great product but over too soon

Pros - lightweight and hydrating. Leaves skin fresh and soft. Reduces lines and pores. Cons - can peel in the heat. The 40m tube lasts 2 weeks with the recommended 4 pumps per day, making it very expensive.

The hype is real

I swear this improved my skin in just one day! The texture is incredibly smooth and it layers beautifully under my Toleriane moisturiser. With my dry skin, I was initially worried that the powerful combination of azelaic acid and salicylic acid might be too harsh, but it's turned out to be the best addition to my skincare routine in ages.

What it says it does

I have always been sceptical regarding facial cremes saying that they do what they do. When I saw this advertised I thought let’s give it a go, and that it may end up in the never ending box with all the others. I have been using it for two weeks now and I have to say I’m surprised even after two weeks. Ive noticed my skin is brighter, my aged spots are a little lighter and it’s very light on the skin. I’m 68 years young and this is the first time in all of my years of buying creams for my face, that a product actually does what it says. Thank you 😌

Great actives combo

I usually use the salicylic acid serum and was looking to add a second active for my pimple prone skin. This product showed up just in time and I have found a great improvement in my skin- it is literally perfect. My patients notice my clear skin and comment how clear it is. Thank you.
