Personally, I found it more effective than other brands' 0.5% salicylic acid products. After applying it morning and night on my forehead acne, the blemishes subsided completely in just 3-4 days. ○ It's less irritating than salicylic acid. I didn't experience any burning or tingling sensations. ○ When applied to oily areas, it leaves the skin feeling matte.
Cons○ The absorption isn't great. It feels more like it's coating the skin rather than being absorbed. I haven't tried applying makeup over it, but I suspect foundation might pill when applied on top. ○ It's difficult to purchase. The major drawback is that you need to buy it through international shipping or a purchasing service.

The texture is creamy but lightweight, so it doesn't pill when layered with other skincare products.
ConsIf you apply too much, it can pill and potentially irritate your skin!
TipI recommend applying a thin layer on blemish-prone areas or acne scars, or using it as a spot treatment directly on pimples. Highly recommended!

After suffering from adult acne around my chin for nearly 5 years, I've finally found my holy grail ㅜㅜ Everyone kept saying they got better by applying this or eating that, but nothing seemed to work for me no matter what I tried to prevent or apply. Until now! After finishing one bottle, all my tiny bumps completely disappeared. I had both small bumps and inflamed pimples, and the ones that used to pop up relentlessly have all vanished except for a couple. The frequency of inflamed acne has significantly decreased too. I used to pop two or three pimples a day, but now I only have one active breakout. I bought this for acne, but my skin texture has improved tremendously as well. When washing my face, it felt strangely slippery as if there was leftover cream no matter how long I rinsed. Why? Because that smoothness was actually my own skin!
ConsIt can cause itching and tingling sensations. This varies from person to person - I experienced some symptoms, but they weren't bothersome enough to worry about, and I didn't have any side effects. Major pilling issues. Since I tend to apply generously, I only use it on days when I'm not wearing makeup. Even without makeup, if you apply too much, it can leave visible residue on your neck. It's best to stay at home when possible if you're using this product.

I initially went to check out their niacinamide product, but ended up buying this to qualify for free shipping. What caught my eye was that it's said to be effective for blemishes, acne scars, and redness. Since I typically use multiple essences (functional products) and rotate them based on my skin's daily condition, I haven't used this consistently for months. During the times I did use it, I didn't notice any particular benefits. It didn't seem to reduce emerging blemishes or treat existing ones (at least not noticeably for me, though I don't have acne-prone skin). However, I'm giving it a high score because the improvement in my skin texture was... truly amazing. I've been using only a small amount as recommended on the website, sometimes mixing it with my moisturizer. But yesterday, I felt like applying a bit more. Surprisingly, it made my skin itchy and tingly in some areas. I considered washing it off, but since there was no redness, I left it on and went to bed. The next morning when I washed my face, I was shocked... it didn't even feel like my own skin. It was so soft, plump, and baby-like! I couldn't believe it was actually my skin. I wish I had discovered this sooner!
ConsIt does pill slightly. It seems like all The Ordinary products do that to some extent. However, I didn't find it too bothersome, especially since you only need to use a small amount of this product. I think it works well if you pat it in and use it only at night.
TipLet me share the products I used alongside this one: Toner (Mist): Soap House Houttuynia Cordata Mist (it's amazing) Essence: Sidmool Bifida Ampoule Moisturizer: Prelab Phyto Hydro Cream + Rosehip Oil The key with this product seems to be getting the amount right. I'd recommend starting with a small quantity and gradually finding what works best for your skin.
