Five stars!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have struggled with acne for years and have used many different Salicylic acid products. I had great results using this Lancôme acne treatment. It shrunk the pimples I used it on overnight without leaving it dry, so I was able to apply makeup to cover up the redness the next day without it looking crusty. I like how it was simple to apply to skin with the bottle having a dropper applicator built in to the cap. It does have a perfume scent which I didn’t mind, but just something to note if you are sensitive to fragrances.

Meh acne product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product for the last 3 days. It's not a super strong acne product. It maybe reduced my acne, but not much. However, the artificial fragrance is too much. It does not irritate my skin, but it's not necessary. It also has a blue tint, which is also not necessary. Overall, meh product.

Nice packaging but nothing special about the serum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging of this is very nice and sleek. I like that it isn’t a normal dropper with a rubber tip, but it’s a button that you push to draw up the liquid. It doesn’t have a scent that I’ve noticed. It also seems to work well on my sensitive skin. I used this every 2 days for a week and didn’t notice any peeling. It also didn’t dry me out. I could see it drying you out or causing irritation if you used it every day though. You only need to use a few drops to get the affect you want. For the price there’s cheaper things out there. It’s only 2% salicylic acid.

Love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works to perfection, I definitely notice a difference overnight and it doesn't leave my skin feeling like it's covered in a layer/film which is a must have for any treatment for me just so I can sleep.

Effective lightweight but not a fan of application
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does work pretty well to calm down active breakouts and reduce redness. Texture feels lightweight and absorb wells without pilling and has peppery scent in case you’re looking for scent free products.
Very effective but it can be drying if you use it often.. and not a huge fan of application. This has beautiful Lancôme logo on the top of pumping tube but it can be tricky to get the product out of it.

Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product for my sensitive skin. I have intermittent blemishes that I get tempted to extract. But with this product, I felt confident it would clear me up. The product felt high-quality and did not have a strong chemical smell.
