How to conduct an at-home patch test:
Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you will have a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating a new product into your routine. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test.
- Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
- Keep the area dry, preferably covered with a bandage.
- After 24 hours, uncover the area and rinse.
- If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product.
Please note that the patch test is only for determining initial irritation reactions to products and does not guarantee similar results when applied to other areas of the body (including the face) or after continuous use. It does not account for underlying conditions and should not be used for the diagnosis of hypersensitivity or allergic contact dermatitis. If you are concerned about starting a new product, please consult a dermatologist prior to use.

Amazing
Been using this product for just over a month now and my skin feels so much better. Still struggling with spots but significantly better and my skin is no longer anywhere near as oily as it used to be.

I'm gonna have to buy this in bulk ?!
I have acne prone skin and this saves me when I have a breakout! In just a few days it reduces the appearance of blemishes, and I use it every other day to prevent any further breakouts.

Apply this salicylic to my face and wow! It really works on my skin and I noticed that whitehead become less visible.

Don't listen to the label!
So the label says 'use once in the morning and once at night', but I can safely tell you NOT to do this. This is what I did, and at first the results were great. My redness decreased and my skin was nice and smooth. However, after maybe three days, my skin was crusty. as. hell. I had to start moisturising my chin as it had become flaky. I do recommend this product however just beware because it can dry out your skin terribly. Maybe use once daily, or even once every two days.

Brilliant
I have oily/combination skin with a tendency for spots along my jawline and on my chin. I started using this a week ago. In that time, the remnants of spots have cleared up, and while a new one did form it has almost gone again within two days. I’m not holding out much hope that it’ll shrink my pores because honestly, I don’t think any product exists which can, but I’d be delighted to be proven wrong on that!

All over/ spot on treatment
The only product I've used that actually stops spots from erupting and helps to keep the skin ones at bay. I use it occasionally all over if my skin feels it needs to be 'retextured' but generally as a spot on/ just on my chin and nose area and it genuinely works!

Great stuff
When using it, I hadn’t noticed much of a difference though I wasn’t too bothered because it was so cheap BUT when I stopped using it, I found my skin being more textured, spot prone and overall, more uneven. This works wonders.

Does absolutely nothing for me
I never, ever reach for this. I mean, it is salicylic acid, which is proven to do all the things it’s meant to do, and you couldn’t really review a brand of flour for not being floury enough, so I had to at least give it three stars. But it has never had any discernible effect whatsoever on any spots I’ve put it on, any blackheads, any open pores, oil on my T zone... nothing.

Dream Product
Absolutely love this, I wish it came in a bigger bottle. Clears my skin almost instantly, whether I apply it topically or all over my face. Works well to draw out my blemishes and dry them up quickly or keep my skin clear if I choose to use it regularly.
