    "I really love this duo. Finally seeing good results after battling with acne for 6+ months and trying out dozens of producs. Definitely recommend for anyone who is fighting with acne and stubborn dark spots. Faded mine within weeks. Still have a few spots, but still a HUGE difference. These photos were taken a month apart."

    "Never leave reviews but this product has transformed my skin. Went from congested skin, cystic spots, trapped pores and whiteheads & redness to clear and smooth skin. My skin does not breakout anymore and redness is reduced a lot! I have attached photos that I have used for tracking - 2 month difference. Been using this alongside the salicylic acid cleanser."

Reviews Summary
Customers say this treatment absorbs quickly and feels gentle on the skin. Many report visible improvements in dark spots and uneven skin tone with consistent use, though results typically take several weeks to show. While some notice changes within days, others mention needing 1-2 months for significant effects. The texture receives praise for being smooth and non-irritating. Reviews are mixed on effectiveness, with most seeing gradual improvements while some report no visible changes. Common feedback notes the small product size, though many mention a little goes a long way.
