A different ingredient than we normally see, and not one of the more mainstream acne treatments but super effective in treating and relieving blemishes. This is an amazing ingredient for smoothing texture of skin caused by acne because of the fulvic acid and nordic peat. Fulvic acid is antimicrobial yet beneficial for the good bacteria that usually gets over run in acne thriving environments. It also provides an immediate relief of irritation, itching, and redness. Also a great option for rosecea but can create temporary photosensitivity so make sure to remember your spf!

An amazing alternative for the Tower 28 SOS spray (I hate to use the word "dupe" here as it implies a lower quality- which it is not at all - but its an amazing dupe). I was a bit concerned that id end up wasting alot of product with it being in a spray bottle but that doesn’t seem to be a factor, a little goes a long and because its in a spray bottle Ive never seen the need to use a cotton; any loss from the spray is made up for by not needing to soak a cotton. This has really made a great impact on relieving the severity and duration of my breakouts! I use it everytime after I cleanse my face (day and night) then follow with Paula's choice mandelic acid solution.

I usually have fairly high expectations when it comes to skincare in general and do plenty of research prior to buying anything. With "premium" or more expensive brands (like murad) my expectations are definitely pretty high; This exceeded my expectations!!! My target or goals behind buying the mini haul this product was part of, was to (hopefully) smooth out some of the "orange peel" texture on my cheeks. Ive been trying to smooth it out since this past June (2023) which was when I first noticed it had gotten really bad; to the point I became really self conscious about it, even with makeup. Since June, its taken about 9 months to see any noticeable and (so far!) consistent improvement. 9 months of consistently and "actively treating" my acne, with no improvement gets so disappointing, emotionally draining and it absolutely impacted my confidence, whether anyone else noticed it or not. Enter Murad's clarifying daily peel! Maybe two or three weeks ago I went to return something at Sephora and had previously seen this on their website but due to its price had intended to probably not buy it this trip. Thank God I did! To use this I give it a real good shake (its two weights of liquid, one an oil like, the other maybe water based- so it does need to be shaken) and pour a very small amount into the palm of my hand, and apply it after cleansing and after my hypochlorous acid spray (another big saviour but I dont think as much of a great impact as this). I try to use this only at night as it does have a low concentration of retinol but small enough I can use it with another salicylic acid typical treatment. It doesn't leave any oily residue at all, it absorbs perfectly. Its amazing!!! Ill add photos and you can see for yourself!! The other products Ive been using with this that have really helped Ive added a photo of as well because Ive never seen this great an improvement ever, led alone this rapidly. (Dont mind the bandaids on my neck, im trying to self treat skin tags lol)

Supposedly a gentler option to the super popular Paula's Choice 2% BHA Solution but my reason for choosing this is for the benefits mandelic and lactic can have. I also wasn't having the results I wanted and hoped for by using the common choices with salicylic which I do have other products I could use in my routines with salicylic. Mandelic acid is antibacterial in addition to bring a more gentle exfoliant. Recommended for uneven texture, dullness, Hyperpigmentation, acne, and fine lines & wrinkles. Still a newer addition to my routine but seeing better progress than other exfoliants already. Benefits: Improves sun damage, dullness & fine lines Reverses a compromised skin barrier Renews skin below the surface for healthier cell turnover & radiance Gentle & effective for all skin types Not sure whether this one should get 4 it 5 stars but we will start at 4. its still a relatively new addition so ill give it more time before i award it 5 stars.

My skin feels very smooth after apply

have noticed that my skin is less red and irritated since I started using this serum and and I am really impressed with the results. I have sensitive skin, but this serum has helped to calm my skin and I have not experienced any negative side effects from using this serum. The serum is a lightweight, milky liquid that absorbs quickly into the skin. It has a slightly sweet scent, but it is not overpowering. I apply the serum twice a day, after cleansing and before moisturizing. I would highly recommend this serum to anyone looking for a soothing and barrier-supporting product. *Received this product free from The Ordinary in exchange for my honest review*

This is far from a typical salicylic acid treatment! This adds monks pepper, glycolic acid, ferulic acid, and retinol into the Formula to Boost results. It not only helped coat my skin but it gross with oil control and production throughout the day. I use it am and pm after cleansing, toning, and before my moisturizer. This does go but two different names (atleast) depending on your country of residence. In Canada its sold as "acne eliminating gel" and in the states its sold as "breakout clearing gel" or vic versa lol

This amazing product helped me to have hydrated look the entire day.

A balm to gel texture moisturizer that melts into my skin better than may other gel moisturizers but with the lasting hydration of a balm! It helps firm skin, strengthen barrier, instantly doubles hydration, and provides day long moisture (as per their website AND my experience) This is part of my Curated list, I need to take additional photos after I get the list up and published (this is my second attempt at creating it... Im not letting my phone sleep)

I use a rice sized account of this total, over all the active breakouts. I dab it sparingly over acne about 10 minutes after Ive applied my moisturizer and allow each place to dry before doing anything over it. I apply it before my primer and makeup, so for that it definitely requires 20+ minutes to really dry so it doesn't pill up eyebrow I apply primer. This dries matte. This helps to clear deep, hidden blemishes, soothes breakout irritated skin, and helps prevent future breakouts. 2 weeks start to finish is about the existence and life cycle of an entire pimple's varrious stages with little to no lingering discolouration. The states include: 1. Clogged pore 2. Papule 3. Pustule/cyst 4. Healing and Scabbing 5. Discolouration: post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown or black discolouration after active acne, common on farer skin, dilation and formation of small blood vessels during inflammation, topical treatment options limited for effective results, usually responds better to clinical treatment routes) and post inflammatory erythema (pink or red discolouration, common on any skin tone, over production of melanin after inflammation, treat able with many ingredients) Photos typically get uploaded out of order but if thats the case the bad and was in December/January and the improvement is from last week, normally discolouration takes 3-6 months for that much fading for me. The makeup photos are to show how well it helps makeup cover acne
