   The pores on my forehead and cheeks are the same after 4 months of use twice daily. Don’t feel it did not do anything for my skin. Would not repurchase, too expensive for the results.

   I purchased this on sale because I didn’t have high hopes but wanted to try the LHA it. Aha wise it’s low in my book. It’s around 6% but because of the LHA and Aha together it’s working wonders on my skin. I use this mostly at night sometimes during the day with a good sunblock. I have found in using this for a few months my pores are smaller and cleaner. My genetic smile lines are diminished and my face has clarity or a nice even tone. I use this as a serum then use CeraVePM and Laneige sleeping pack over it. I have experienced no dryness or flaking. My dry patches are gone. It’s annoying because I have Combo skin so finding the right products is daunting at times.

   With this serum which is worth every penny because even used 2x’s a day it will last up to a year. I love the glass bottle and dropper. It helps me not waste product. This works so well on acne I used it on my boyfriends forehead and it cleared in days with no peeling. So, for the both of us this product really works. I used to use Retin A all the time till I figured out how wonderful Aha’s are. I now just use aha’s and my acne is finally under control. Also my fine lines are either plumped or gone. I didn’t have many but prevention is key to me and this does that.

   If you have large pores,light acne, and some fine lines this will work really well. If you don’t yet, I still say go for it because once you start using Aha’s your skin feels so soft and I just never want to go back:) LRP products have worked very well for me and even though here in the US they are a little pricy the results are totally worth it. This serum is great especially if you have some acne,fine lines, and pore issues. I love how my skin looks now even without MU I’m quite impressed! I also think anyone with acne that’s on the mild side to maybe moderate should give this a try. For me Aha’s work better on my spots verse BP. So, if you’re done with BP definitely give this a shot:) Recommended

   This has become my HG face treatment!
   It’s hard to find, I had to order it online because I wasn’t able to find it anywhere in Canada. It’s also pretty expensive (I paid $45 or so).
   But, it’s worth it.
   I have oily/combination skin with some old acne marks, and thanks to this serum, all marks have faded to almost nothing. The texture of my skin has improved greatly, it’s smooth and glowing. This serum also balances my skin, I don’t get oily anymore.
   I can’t speak about the anti-ageing properties because I don’t yet have wrinkles or anything, but I’m hopeful it helps prevent them.

   It smells very lightly like alcohol when I apply it, but this smell goes away very quickly. It’s a clear liquid with a bit of a viscous texture, that spreads easily and dries very fast. I only use about 3-4 drops for my entire face, and that’s more than enough.
   I like to apply my Avene Skin Recovery Cream on top after it’s dry, just to moisturize and calm down any irritation that may occur.

   I use it nightly, with the exception of a night or 2 per week when I do a short contact therapy with 2.5% BP.

   I hardly ever break out anymore, and I’m finally happy with my skin.
