When I first got this, I was so happy. It's my HG! Made my skin improved from one with acne to one with occasional pimples. But it's pricey though, so now I use it as an extra boost when I notice...

This is a good product but sort of expensive for what it does. Since it has the feel of a toner, I put it in a spray bottle and that seems to help get it on evenly. otherwise, I was wasting too...

This was the product that SKII's SA will recommend. Frankly, I find that it did nothing good to my skin. Instead, it's more oily, broke out more and I really hate the scent. After getting rid of it...

Doesn't work for me. This product showed no sign of erasing my acne marks. I guess it is either the pitera in the toner itself is not concentrated enough or my skin needs something stronger than...

so expensive, and yet it works! I have acne prone skin and this treatment somehow makes my skin so clear, and it hasn't broken out since. It's worth every penny if you ask me!
