I’ve been using the IS active serum for a week. I find it to be effective. I was told by my esthetician that my skin needs salicylic acid to combat hormonal pimples. So far so good, looking forward to long term results.

I really like this product. I noticed my skin is so much brighter and I barely have breakouts when using daily. Once I ran out of the product my skin started to breakout again. This is a must buy for anyone that wants brighter skin and to keep breakouts at bay!!!!! Highly Recommended!!!! This is my 3rd or 4th bottle!
