    Great

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this serum for over two weeks and it healed all my breakouts in such a short time. It absorbs really quickly and the scent is mild and pleasant.

    pretty good!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have acne prone skin and it does help a lot with breakouts. My redness is still there but overall has lightened with the product. I used it every night before bed

    Overnight Results!

    I hope this product never gets discontinued! I used this once and noticed a difference the next day. I have been dealing with stubborn texture on my forehead and it improved immensely after using this serum. I also have to note that it definitely is sensitive skin friendly as it does not burn or irritate my face. As of right now, I am only applying once a day at night to avoid drying my skin out because I live in a dry climate. I also applied this over my moisturizer, but will try under to see which application I and my skin prefer. Overall, this serum is 10/10 on my list due to its efficacy. I have used prescriptions from a derm that don’t even show results like this product. So happy I came across it. Great work Thayers!

    Almost given up

    Thanks to perimenopause, my poor face began breaking out and soon my entire face was covered in red, inflamed acne. I tried face wash, astringents & beef tallow. It only got worse. Bought this serum with no expectations. One night of using this product and the next morning there was a visible difference!!!! 3 days in and it’s only getting better!!

    Nothing spectacular

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It did the job I guess. However, it seems to work just like any other serum I have tried. Just an extra item that does the same thing. Smell wasn’t too strong. Packaging was fine. Just not my favorite thing ever.

    Good product.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the scent and the packaging of this product. It was effective on my skin and the texture afterward is nice due to the rich ingredients in it. I seen this at Ross before, so check out those store if other places don't have them.

    Amazingly fast working acne-free product

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to @Pinchme and @Thayers for letting me try their acne clearing products for free in exchange for my honest opinion. The Double Action Acne Serum not only works to clear any blemishes but also allows your skin to heal, smooths out rough texture and even evens out your skin tone. It's completely fragrance-free with no smell at all actually. It's a clear liquid that comes in a small bottle with a dropper made into the lid making it super easy to use. It does warn of "excessive dryness" so even though it says to use 1-3 times daily, it says to start off maybe once a day to get your skin used to it. There's also a sunburn warning as well because of some of the included ingredients so need to be careful having any kind sun exposure while using this product and even for a bit after using it. Aside from those few cons that come with using the ingredients needed, it's a great product that does exactly what it is intended to. It works very fast, I noticed a different just after the very first day of using it. Anytime I get a breakout, Thayer acne-free products is where I turn to. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and definitely recommend.

    Clears acne and acne scarring

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum is incredible! Has helped my acne and acne scarring clear. Feels like a lightweight moisturizer. Will be repurchased this again when I'm out as it is effective and has helped my skin clear up with use of the entire product line.

    Good Decent Cleanser

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging of this product I loved, it’s easy to clean and it’s glass. The product had no scent and the ingredients aren’t necessarily bad. It is effective to an extent and I do think you get your values worth with this product. Thank you for sending this to me incentivized Influenster!

    Amazing!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This actually worked very well for me. It literally helped my blemishes. I put it on and it would dry them out overnight cause I will put it on at night and it didn’t even scar or anything which I absolutely appreciate.

    Amazing serum!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Must have serum for dark spots and acne scars. The packaging makes it easy to use, love the dropper. The scent doesn’t make my skin sensitive and it’s worth the value.

    Great product overall

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For my skin is wasn’t perfect. It left kinda oily my skin afterwards. I will recommend if you have really dry face. So I am not sure how good is for actually acne

    Works like a charm

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was effective at clearing up my skin after an outbreak. It kept my skin feeling clean and clear. It also helped keep skin feeling good after the breakout was over.

    Lack of scent distracts from product line

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Squeeze applicator works great and the package size is reasonable for this type of product. If personally wish this serum stuck with the lemongrass scented theme as I end with this product and the lack of sent takes away from the other products being scented.

    Great for sensitive skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have combination skin and fairly sensitive skin and have had no adverse reactions. I am a big user of Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid though, and those who may not use either ingredient regularly in their skincare routine and/or not know how it effects their skin, may want to do a few spot treatments to see how your skin does with these specific ingredients. No scent detected. Love that this is free of fragrances, oils and alcohol!! The serum is really nice! Usually serums that help with blemishes dry my skin out terribly, but this does the opposite. It actually is hydrating to my skin! Very lightweight serum, doesn’t feel sticky when applying and absorbs easily. My skin does appear to be smoother since using (I have been using consistently for about 2 weeks), and I have not had any break outs. It could be a coincidence, but this is the only new skincare product I have added to my skincare routine, so I do believe it really is working well with my skin! I’m a fan so far!!
