Review: Top quality! - Been using this for over 2 months now, I've had blemishes and the occasional pimple around my mouth area before using this Mandelic acid. This worked perfectly! I haven't had any pimples around my mouth since (where my skin is sensitive from retinol and glycolic acid). It also managed to lighten hyperpigmentation from old pimple scars. It's my holy grail! Apparently it's gentler especially for sensitive skin.
Review: It cleared my acne in 2 weeks - Fast and amazing product for those with acne scars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Need to see improvements
*by M***N on 28 June 2022*

I cannot comment on how good this is on removing melasma as only just started to use it. The cream has a thick consistency & need to rub it in properly, otherwise it will sit on the skin. Arrive in good condition
