Cured My Acne!

a year ago

I’ve bought about 8 of these bottles. I use it morning and night, about 2 pumps and it has so significantly improved my acne. I went from like 10-15 lesions to 3 maximum. I can’t recommend this enough. Iwork in skincare and NEVER buy products because I get so many for free. This is the one product I buy again and again. Naturium I swear to god if you discontinue this I will riot. Also, pls make this in a jumbo size!!!

Excited about the rapid improvement in a week. I alternate this product with retinoic acid at night. And I use the tranexamic acid serum also each morning. Hyperpigmentation already fading and my skin is much brighter!

Makes skin feel so soft in the morning. It isn't sticky and doesn't leave any kind of residue. Super nice!

So far so good

2 years ago

I was advised my esthetician to switch from using salicylic acid to Mandelic because my skin was dehydrated. And since I am acne prone she told me Mandelic had similar effects as salicylic. So I switch my Naturium salicylic to the Mandelic. So far I really like it. Has not irritated my skin and have not had any breakouts. I have noticed though that a lot of my milia have gone away since starting the Mandelic.

Awesome product

2 years ago

Helped with my acne, skin texture and pigmentation. After I included in my night routine, my acnes don’t stand a chance, and healing process after having them is way better and smoother. I used to have a darker spot for months after a big acne and now, besides the fact that I don’t get those anymore, the ones I get don’t leave that mark for more than 1 week.

Just, WOW!

2 years ago

I cannot really explain how much I love this serum. I have acne-prone, combination skin that leans toward the more oily side. I purchased this in combination with the Creamy Double Cleanse Duo and have seen better results than anything I’ve tried in the past. My oiliness is completely under control - COMPLETELY, and the brightness I see in my skin is a huge bonus that I didn’t expect. I’ve never experienced that in my life. I typically break out on my lower cheeks and jawline and I’ve had only one very minor breakout since using these products. I also use the cleansers once a day on my chest to combat my chest acne (caused from heat/irritation from oil/sweat and friction), and now my chest is clear and bright and soft! The redness throughout my face and chest is also gone! I will continue to purchase this!!!
