Review (5/5): Good product!
Yessss, a non-greasy alternative to fading acne marks. My skin is average(not super oily or dry--it varies with the season/humidity level) and it's a toffee color.
I have acne scars and this is one weapon in my arsenal against them. I put it on every night and if I'm consistent--wow.
This product works, although it does take time. Most importantly, it does not cause me to break out.
My usage:
I use this product along with glycolic acid-- and have suggested a similar routine(minus my acne wash) for a friend with melasma.
I put this product on after my acne free moisturizer. So, if you're interested--here's my night routine: wash with glycolic acid orange japanese soap--leave on for 10 minutes, wash off then wash with acne wash, use rest of acne products, then use retinol on face, then use this directly on the scars. I have never had a dry face before bed(ugh), and if I'm consistent this routine works for my purposes.
Value:
Expensive? Slightly, but it's nothing compared to powerful over the counter "scar fading" products. I don't usually spend $27(prime shipping) on skincare, but I took the leap and i'm glad I did.
This is one of the only products without hydroquinone that works for me. I bought this product on August 4th and by this review I still have plenty left, and I've been using it heavily. A small amount will work, but initially I was desperate to "spot" the fading in action(I apologize for the bad pun).
