It is a nice serum for the price but can be a bit sticky and there are definitely better BHA's out there.

I use it always in combination with Niacinamide to get rid of period blemishes/acne a bit faster. It's a bit sticky and leaves my skin somewhat dry so I don't apply it frequently. It does not help with oil reduction at all.

Feels nice on the skin, not drying at all. Havent notice difference on my black heads though.

a bit sticky but does the job well, will repurchase

I like this product it leaves my skin glowing but is a bit sticky

it did it’s job and after a couple of uses I could see results which was surprisingly fast. It’s simple and easy which i like but nothing too special

Great texture.

In terms of ingredients, this is great. It is very similar to The Ordinary salicylic acid serum. This doesn’t have witch-hazel in (which some deem problematic due to its hidden tannins and alcohol content), unlike The Ordinary which does contain it. I do love The Ordinary salicylic serum but in terms of ingredients, this wins. This contains the zinc, like The Ordinary, but with the addition of hyaluronic acid (the salt). It’s a shame it couldn’t contain some soothing ingredients to replace the lack of witch hazel. The packaging isn’t great in theory as it doesn’t match the formulation. The Ordinary is thicker in consistency IMO and this serum could have been thicker to match the packaging (the kind when you push on my end of the cap and the other side pops up to reveal the dispensing hole). The serum just kinda pours out without much control. I’m not a fan of the dropper anyway but in this case, the other reviewer may have been right. It’s a very small bottle and you end up feeling like they could have given you more for the price compared to The Ordinary where at least it’s thicker and you have more control. Like the salicylic acid cleanser from Inkey List, I am asking politely for more, more, more in terms of size and not in price. These aren’t expensive products to formulate and produce.

Really glad I tried this. When I use it my skin is glowing the next day. Brilliant price point too!

Have oily acne-prone skin but honestly feel like this helped to clear my skin a little, even after the first use. Really excited to see how it goes, seems really effective so far. texture is nice and does not pill when other serums are layered on top! only issue is the packaging - just find it difficult to control how much I squeeze out (wish they had the glass dropper bottles like the ordinary).
