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
I’ve always had very good skin but recently out of nowhere I started having blemishes and acne. I’ve tried so many products ( pricey ones too ) but it either made it worse or didn’t wok at all. When I first started using it about 2 weeks ago, I’ve started of using as described Am and Pm and then I reduced it to pm only. I’m gonna reduce it to 3-4 times a week soon as my face is all cleared up now. I’ve heard it does wonders for your skin with foundation too so I can’t wait to put some foundation on. It’s kinda drying but for the result I’m getting that’s nothing I’m concerned about, it’s now my holy grail 5 out 5 stars.

Works well for oily skin
I noticed I didn't wake up as shiny in the morning and it helped keep my skin clearer, causing fewer breakouts overall.

Skin transformation
I’ve been using the product in the AM & PM after cleansing and before moisturising and it has transformed my skin within a few weeks of using and has reduced my acne massively. I would highly recommend.

Never again
I have had mild acne for a while now, and have tried many different ways to get rid of it. I purchased this product and used it in the evening for the first time overnight, specifically on my problem areas. The next day I woke up with an unusual tightness in my skin in these areas where my spots had been and proceeded to wash my face as usual just with water. After washing my face, and then looking in the mirror, I had red patches of raw skin where my spots had basically been burnt off. I had basically had chemical burns on my face where I had applied this product, and over the course of the week/two weeks, my skin became dried and scabbed and peeled. It has been around two months since this has happened and I still have slight dark pigmentation in these areas, no texture but there are marks, which I’m not sure will go away. I do urge anyone thinking of using this product to be careful and perhaps do a patch test before using on your face!

The Best of the Best
This is unreal using this along with the toner from the ordinary on a daily basis has 10000% sorted out my skin, always make sure to use a moisturiser afterwards though as these products can make your skin dry.

Amazing!
Was a lil apprehensive as obviously it is worrying using acid - can’t lie dried out a tiny area underneath my eyes but didn’t need to use it there anyway so learnt my lesson to avoid this area? 1000% would recommend, the skin was noticeably smoother looking and the appearance of blemishes improved significantly. Thrilled with this product. Get yourself some quick.

Overnight miracle
I have suffered from teenage acne on my forehead and on my cheekbones for 3 years now (some days worse than others). I have tried a range of acne medicines from the doctors which was a fail! Came across this just in time for summer holidays and I can confidently say it has helped clear small breakouts overnight along with glycolic acid by alpha-h. I would definitely recommend this.

Disappointing
I am 14 and suffer from quite a bad acne so I decided to give this ago. At first, I thought it was fine but then my skin became extremely irritated and red and then spots turned into gooey bubbly scabs that were very noticeable and embarrassing. It took weeks for the scars to disappear and my skin is the same if not worse.

Miracle Worker
Best spot treatment, I have tried a few and most either didn't work or were too harsh on my skin. This stuff is great though I put a little on any spots before bed and in the morning they are either gone or a lot less angry and red looking. Fab would definitely recommend.

Does work but no a magic cure
I bought this for a small scar on my leg and a small patch of ingrowing hair on my calf. I used this product for a few weeks now and I feel it’s made a visible difference to the new scar. It’s worked on the ingrown hair patch and made it less visible and less noticeable. I so wish it a miracle product and made the patch as smooth as the rest of my legs. As it has a drying effect I haven’t used it much on my face.
