I purchased this after my derm tried once again to get me to use a retinol. As someone who has struggled with acne for the past several years, I have done lots of research and know that retinols are double-edged swords. My ultimate thought was, “If I can’t use this while I’m pregnant, why would I use it any other time?” I purchased this along with the Bakuchiol+ Booster Treatment 0.51 fl oz and wanted to give it two full weeks to give an honest and valid review. This treatment is AMAZING! I honestly did not expect it to work this well. My skin is not fully done purging, but in the short two weeks I have used this, my skin has done a 180. The congestion bumps on my forehead are almost gone, my dormant hormonal acne is finally coming to the surface and purging and my overall skin tone and redness are looking SO much better. I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out! Which probably won’t be for another two weeks because I’m not even halfway through the bottle.
