What the community says
Pros
- Calms texture and pore appearance when it works
- Light, non-greasy serum texture
- Gentle enough to introduce slowly as part of a routine
Cons
- Can exacerbate acne and cause breakouts early on
- Inconsistent results on oily, acne-prone skin — may not fully clear texture
- Not a standalone fix and often needs pairing with other actives
