Helps my hormonal acne

I developed hormonal acne that has ravaged my face. It was completely clear until this began. I developed acne along my lower half of my face and jawline. I bought this product and it has helped. I wouldn’t be without it!

100% YES for adult acne- game changer

This acne treatment by skin medica is the BEST! Ive tried so many products and have continued to have breakouts in my late 30s even after two rounds of accutane. Ive been using this for about a month and wow the results and improvement in my skin is amazing!. It doesnt dry me out and i can use with my retinol. It promotes clarity, healing and beautiful skin!

Give it a couple of weeks - it works

In my 40s, I didn't think I would be dealing with acne, but here I am. The cleansers and actives that I used as a teenagers are much too harsh for my skin, so finding something that helps with spots and oiliness has been challenging. This treatment has really stepped up to the plate. It is a little drying at first, so I started out by using it every other day for awhile as my skin acclimated. Some have commented on the scent - it smells like black seed oil (for those who are familiar), but fades within a minute or two of application. I don't find it to be too 'sticky' unless I put excess product on my face. I actually apply this on slightly damp skin, and I find it absorbs very well. After a couple of weeks, my skin has much less redness, is not too oily (or dry), and my breakouts have been cut in half. I would definitely recommend trying this treatment.

Adult acne control

I have very sensitive acne prone skin, even in my 50's, and this has worked very well for me. It took a couple of weeks to draw everything out but by the end of the 3rd week my chin and jaw area started clearing up and has stayed clear. The niacinamide fades out the redness right away so I haven't had any red spots where the acne has cleared up. I only use it at night and I did experiment with layering products and I noticed that this needs to be put on before other products to work properly. I am very happy with this product and I recommend it for any age.

Love this!

I agree with several others that it is sticky when applied and the smell isn’t great. Both of those last for maybe 2 mins. and then they are gone. The overall effects of the product is great! It has even helped with my hormonal acne.

Sticky texture

Unfortunately, I am not impressed with this product. It has a sticky texture and stays sticky on the skin for several minutes. It smells like rye bread that I really don’t like. I love this brand but not for this new product and won’t buy it again.

Wow! Amazing!

Recently I have been having issues with hormonal acne that leaves some awful marks. This product has been a complete game changer for me. It not only clears the up the acne a lot quicker than other products I’ve tried but it also heals so nicely preventing those stubborn acne scars. It also seems to be working on my rosacea as well. Overall my complexion looks and feels so much better. I hope they never get rid of this product!! I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Not for me…

My skin did not like this product. It has a great ingredient list, but it caused my skin to turn red and itchy. I took breaks in between using the product thinking it may be too strong, but I would have an adverse reaction every time I tried to incorporate it back into my routine. For the record, I have aging combination skin with mild acne. Also, I didn’t like the smell. It was actually pretty off putting.
