"My skin was SCREAMING for help. A random breakout took over my face. Ive use this product before and knew I needed to get my hands on it again ASAP. It came within 3 days of ordering and my skin is back to its happy, acne free self within a couple of days."
"Great product that I have purchased several times. When I run out I wish I had more. It helps to clear up any pimples, shrinks my pores, and helps keep blackheads under control. It also helps lighten some dark spots."
"This is one of my favorite projects that I've been using for years now. A very lightweight serum that helps with wrinkle prevention and maintaining clear skin!"
"It feels nice, and helps when I have any acne!"
"Does such a good job stopping breakouts quickly"
"Love Dermalogica! Has made a big difference in my skin!!"
"I really like this stuff. I have aging skin and it acts up occasionally. This stuff really helps it settle down and and behave."
"I’ve been using the age bright clearing serum for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed with the results. My skin looks clearer, more even, and noticeably more hydrated compared to other acne treatments I’ve tried. It helped calm down active breakouts while also fading some of the marks and scars left behind from previous acne. What I love most is that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or overly dry. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under moisturizer and makeup. I also noticed my skin tone looking brighter and smoother over time. Definitely a great option if you’re dealing with breakouts but still want hydration and a healthy glow."
"It’s not my age product unfortunately! Probably good for younger girls."
