28 Skincare Products With Dramatic Before & After Photos

I use this exfoliator a few times a week and I’m in loooove. The formula isn’t too hard with my sensitive skin (and I’ve been known to over-react to other anti-acne products with salicylic acid in them) but it helps keep my skin soft, clear, and glowy. It’s the only product that has *ever* kept the pores on my nose non-congested. Put away the harsh blackhead strips and try this instead!

Promising review: “This stuff should be called a miracle in a bottle. When I use it on my (pretty dry) skin, it transforms it from congested, irritated, and bright red to calm, clear, and glowing overnight. Most of the people reviewing this are using it incorrectly. It’s an acid exfoliator. That means you should use it once a week, twice at the most (if your skin is oily and needs a lot of work.) Also, it should never be used during the daytime. BHA, or salicylic acid, interacts terribly with the sun. If you absolutely must put it on in the morning, follow it up with heavy SPF, but I wouldn’t do it. This stuff is like anything else — it only works if you know how to do it properly.” —Audrey Brock

Promising review: “I was pretty clueless on skincare for a while. I tried to stay away from chemicals in my routine but it didn’t help with my blackheads and hardly helped with my acne scars. I’ve had with hyperpigmentation, acne scars that stay for years, and worst of all were the blackheads and large pores. I thought scrubbing with exfoliants was the key but it actually made things worse and caused microtears on my face. I have only been using this product two weeks and the changes i’ve seen in my skin have been amazing. I would recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with scarring, blackheads and large pores. This does the trick! I can’t believe that my face is no longer bumpy and rough. 100% worth a try!” —ACooper2
