Why are we not talking though
My wife loved this bc she occasionally has some bra area/ breast surrounding pimples that she will use this on. She has eczema and psoriasis and the severity is depending on the season. I however have much more sensitive skin, and have so dealt with years of body issues….back/butt to legs, belly "acne" and honestly, its called folliculits- just clogged hair follicles, built up from sweat and friction enhanced by workout gear (im an RN- and besides in scrubs im in work out apparel) added up this will all be all cause of inflammation….best solution is hibiclens- anti microbial and known to be the cleanser before any major surgery (just to be safe bd they cant wash your entire body pre op) but its the solution to any issues ive ever had. If youre having minimal issues use panoxyl idk why this is even offered without proper info on body blemishes

Love love love
I love this product so much. Just replace the top with a sprayer and I its better to apply. I get body acne on my chest, arms and back so using this plus a kojic acid body soap has drastically changed and lightened my bacne. Worth the purchase, cant wait to buy my next bottle.

Great for body acne
If you struggle with body acne or uneven texture, this serum is worth trying. It’s gentle yet effective

Multi-Active Delivery Essence
I was gifted by The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence. I wanted so my for this product because of The Ordinary's high quality products. But unfortunately, they definitely missed the mark with this one. The essence is the same consistency as water and makes a mess with application. Also, in no way is it hydrating to the skin.

Works!
This stuff is amazing! I use it for my KP on my arms & legs. You have to be consistent with it to see results. I pair it with Cerave SA Cream.

more like a toner than serum
I use this on a cotton pad and apply it to affected areas... you can also mix it into a body emulsion. works quickly. the next day my stubborn body breakouts are dried out and smaller.

Not a serum
This is a liquid. I was expecting a thicker consistency and this product is liquid. I just bought it so I have no opinion on its efficacy.
