Too runny
I use salicylic acid for acne. The brand I purchased previously has a gel formula with a precision tip for applying directly to the pimple. This formula is SO watery that if you apply it to your finger tips it drips off before you can put it on your face. If you apply directly to the face, it runs everywhere. Needs to be reformulated and the pump applicator honestly doesn't make sense for how the product should be used. You wouldn't put this product all over your face as it would cause dryness and flaking everywhere you don't have an active pimple. I'm not even sure if it works because I can't get enough product on the pimple before it runs off.

The best salicylic acid out there
This is the only salicylic acid serum that has made my acne completely disappear. I was recommended the product by my esthetician and WOW I'm so glad she did. I've dealt with adult acne my whole life and I never thought a product could completely fix my acne. This serum proved me wrong. Truly a holy grail.

Skin is glowing!
Skin looks amazing! My son’s acne is cleaning right up. He hadn’t bad from his football helmet and this stuff is clearing it right up. Once I read the reviews for this product I knew it would work and I am very happy with the results.

Only thing that worked for me.
PLEASE. GOD. DO NOT DISCONTINUE. Last year I randomly broke out with the worst acne and I dealt with it for 10 months and could not find ANYTHING to get rid of it until I tried this. Worked literally immediately. I used it every single day, ran out, went to get a new bottle, and just my mf luck, y’all stopped selling it in stores. Please, at least keep it online. My acne came back and I’m about to order it again, praying it helps the same way it did last time. If it discontinues I’m just gonna rip my face off

All the benefits without any drawbacks
I've bought so many of these because I'm always terrified it'll be discontinued. This is SERIOUSLY slept upon, as it delivers all of the acne and clogged pore banishing benefits of more conventional Salicylic Acid toners, but without any of the sticky/oily residue that literally EVERY other product has. It is also not sensitising at all, and never causes any peeling or flakiness. All in all, it just has ALL of the benefits with none of the drawbacks of the usual salicylic acid products! Naturium, PLEASE keep producing this product; I don't think I can live without it!

Naturium you had better not be discontinuing this product! This is the most amazing quick fix acne product I’ve ever tried. It’s perfect for my extremely acne prone skin and just keeps texture, comedones and all of that away. Gives me the smoothest skin. Please please don’t discontinue it. Pleaseeee

Solid serum
I was using a famous BHA toner that made may skin breakout completely. I got a lot of cystic acne and texture. Decided to buy this serum and in the first week of using, I noticed a drastic difference in the 4 pimples that were on my cheek. Is not only helping with preventing but also clearing up marks from older ones.

Helps acne scaring
Been using this for about 2 months consistently now, and I really think it made a difference. My acne scars have improved a lotttt and are fading quickly. It’s also made my acne lessen and overall helped my skin. I have eczema and super sensitive skin, and it didn’t burn or anything! Just don’t use with other actives.

Another gentle product that works
I used the skinceuticals blemish and age defense, switched to this and like it more. I switched from skinceutical to this and another brand and I’ve been seeing better results in two months then I have seen in when using the expensive stuff. My husband even noticed!

Just Started
I like how light this is. I just started using it so, I can't really tell if it's working great or not. I haven't seen any new pimples, so there is that.

Caused little whiteheads - not purging
I started breaking out after using this serum. I thought I was just purging and patiently waited a full 12 weeks but unfortunately I really haven’t had much improvement. I think it did help with some closed comedones on my chin but it also seemed to clog my pores and caused little whiteheads all over. I have kept everything else in my routine the same so I’m sure it must be this serum. I will not be using this anymore!

Breaks up make up
It seems to work okay, I was looking for a replacement for some other brands I like at a better price point with less plastic in the packaging, but it breaks up my makeup. I tried it with several foundation/tint products and they all wound up patchy and floating like weird lily pads after a couple hours when I used this. A product like this, for me, needs to work as a layer, so I don’t recommend it.

This works for my 40 y/o hormonal skin.
Finally! It's back at Target again! It was either out of stock or no longer sold here for a while, but it's back and I'm glad because I can't find it anywhere else. Even Amazon stopped selling it. This is the one face product I really like because it works for me. I can't find anything else like it so when it doesn't show up in my search on target I freak out a little. I really like this stuff, it keeps acne away. Been using for about a year and a half now.

SA Serum 2%
I have purchased this product last year and I'm glad I did, because my skin loves it and it treats my acne. I recommend it for oily acne prone skin.

Works well
I had purchased this product hoping to reduce some dark spots and battle acne. The serum works and feels very nice. Unfortunately, it was extremely drying on my skin. I would be cautious if your skin is sensitive.

Excellent!
Great! I have dry, mature skin that gets flaky during the winter months. This stuff eats up the dry skin flakes and leaves my skin looking flawless. I apply this under my regular moisturizer.
