Balance MeBakuchiol Smoothing Serum, Plant-based Retinol Serum, 30 ml

The reviews for this gave me very high expectations which usually the product doesn’t live up to.I suffer from cystic acne each month. It comes in the form of a very painful, big red swollen lump on my chin that take weeks to come to a head and eventually may pop and scar and cause lots of other issues, turning into a 3+ month ordeal. Recently instead of having one cyst a month or occasionally every other month I usually get I ended up with three back to back! I was in despair, I was in so much pain and scared to be seen in public. I’ve now ordered an antibiotic cream but it doesn’t arrive till next week so I came across this product and decided I’d try this in the meantime. I put it on at night and by the morning the cyst had gone down drastically and the swelling and pain had completely gone!! I put a on again the following night and now 95% of the cysts have gone and should be completely gone by tomorrow.I don’t know how this works and yes it’s not the cheapest but it is for sure worth every single penny! It doesn’t contain any strong medication or steroid and it didn’t irritate my insanely sensitive skin, it didn’t dry out my already dry (and eczema prone) skin it is a miracle worker and I’m so happy I found it!!!

Love this, it just smells clean like it’s doing the job of preventing spots, makes skin smooth. Just doesn’t last long (although I am heavy handed and used twice a day)

I had a sample (half the size of this) in a trial Birchbox one month. I adore the scent of this and it was like a miracle cure for my itchy spotty super sensitive skin. After quickly finishing my sample tube (I rarely finish products before moving on so this was a good sign!) I came to Amazon for a larger version. The bottle is pretty small as described with twice the amount of product I'm as the BB sample. I knew I'd get through this quick but don't mind paying out for something that has cleared my skin so well, smells insanely good and is lovely to use.Unfortunately for some reason I don't feel the version I received is as good as the sample, though I often find this to be the case with samples so maybe they are slightly more concentrated or some thing? Either way, it's still the best serum I've ever used for my skin, smells as great as always and just seems to work well on my dry greasy spotty prone rashy skin. Since leaving this my breakouts have lessened, I go to bed smelling like a freshly cut orange and will definitely buy again.

I don't believe in magical cures, but with rosacea and cystic acne I have again and again been tempted by fancy creams and serums that seem to help for a while and then make things worse...HOWEVER, I have now been using this for 3 weeks, and it really has worked. Together with my normal medication and careful cleaning - but it has calmed the skin, helped any spots to go away quicker and I feel so much better. Oh and it is fine under makeup, with no piling or peeling. Yes the pump is rubbish, and yes it's expensive but I will keep buying.

ive been looking for ages to find a product for my problem mature hormonal skin. wow this is good and it works . sorts out spots and smells good . my skin looks better after a week .

I've purchased this serum quite a few times as it helps to soothe my breakouts. It reduces inflammatiothe a bit but honestly not enough for me to continue using it. Originality the scent was beautiful which kept me buying it but it changes with every bottle, sometimes being herby and fresh while other times almost musky.The serum is often watery, however this is also inconsistent and it can vary with every purchase.The pump has also broken on the last 3 bottles I've purchased.It just seems to get worse with every purchase.

My 10 year old son started to develop really big, sore, red spots on his nose. I tried several treatments which used to dry the spots but leave his skin really dry and flaky as a result. This serum is amazing at drying up the spot but not the skin which is a miracle. It also smells lovely with a clean, citrus scent which does not bother my son like some of the tea tree based creams did. It also lasts for ages as you only need a tiny bit of serum every time you use it. Definitely recommend this.

The formula is instantly soothing and it smells lovely....however the scent may be a bit bold for some people?The only down side is the dispenser pump is awkward for using small amounts and is prone to shooting too much out at once....if the company could upgrade the bottle I'd happy give it 5 stars x

This product changed my life. I originally got a sample of it in my ipsy bag and now I'm on my 2nd bottle. I get pretty bad acne on my chin and this product is the first thing that has been able to clear me up! I can feel my skin getting smoother and some redness is even fading. It doesn't necessarily feel moisturizing, but it's definitely not drying. I also love that it's all natural. The scent is perfect, like a subtle minty smell. It is a little thinner than I'd like, but because it's a thin consistency a little bit goes a long way. I have been using this product in my daily routine for several months now and i will continue to repurchase. Definitely a holy grail item.

anche se il prodotto è per pelli congestionate (acne, ecc) è estremamente delicato. non irrita la pelle, non tira, non brucia. è rinfrescante e decongestionante. lo uso sulle parti del viso dove ho la rosacea (naso e dintorni) e mi trovo benissimo. "calma" la pelle e attenua i rossori... sono una donna di 52 anni, in menopausa, e lo usa anche mia madre per lo stesso problema (rosacea) e ne ha 84. un prodotto OTTIMO, come tutti quelli che ho provato di Balance Me.

Produit qui sent bon et visiblement efficace

De verdad que cuando tengo espinillas las baja. Funciona muy bien y me encanta que sea casi todo ingredientes naturales. Cumple muy bien con su cometido. Me vino de prueba en birchbox y me gustó tanto que me lo compré. Tengo piel grasa e intolerante y me va genial para las espinillas y rojeces puntuables

I received a sample size a while ago in my Ipsy subscription. I have dealt with bad breakouts and cystic acne for years. This is one of he few products that works almost instantly. As soon as I feel breakouts coming on, I use this and it clears up within a couple days. Some other reviewers complained about the price for such a small bottle. A little goes a reeeeally long way so it will last a long time. If you are looking for something to help clear up your skin, I absolutely recommend this product. Shipping was really quick too so that's a bonus!
