This is the only thing that has actually helped my acne. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin. The acne was never terrible, but it is so frustrating to have pimples when you're in your 30s. I've spent years in the cycle of getting upset about having acne as an adult, spending a lot of money on a new skincare product/routine that does nothing at best, and then feeling like skincare was a scam until I got mad enough about my acne to try again. This mandelic acid serum has been the first thing that has ever unequivocally worked. I originally started using it every other day and then increased to every day, and it took three months from when I started using it daily. I use one pump once a day (the directions say three pumps, which seems like a ton). Otherwise, I follow the benzoyl peroxide mask, Cerave hyrdating cleanser, and First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream routine discussed in this article: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2023/04/11346100/acne-care-skin-tips-2023
Turns out skin care isn't a scam after all!
