Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Honestly, I didn't WANT to like this. Being very involved in the skincare community I'd always loved Susan Yara but was really upset with everything I'd heard about how she handled this brand. But I have really dry skin with some crappy rosacea that's very noticeable. 2 ingredients always helped, vitamin C and azelaic acid. I'd tried The Ordinary azelaic acid and I hated the texture of it. It was thicker serum like a lotion and it would pill up really badly. Couldn't layer it under makeup or with other skincare. I'd tried the Paula's Choice one but it was a cream and has salicylic acid in it which was nice around my nose but not on my dry cheeks. I found a random brand on Amazon but it had WAY too much hyaluronic acid in it which breaks me out. So finally tried this. And I LOVE it. It is formulated with vitamin c in it so I don't have to worry about messing up anything efficacy by mixing or layering myself. It's thin actually like a serum. Completely non-greasy, soaks into skin, doesn't sit on it. Has a high level of azelaic acid. It has niacinamide in it too! So one other less thing I need to worry about mixing in myself. For my skin these 3 ingredients have always been amazing and this serum has been the best way to deliver them together in an easy convenient way. This isn't super expensive, the glass (yay! Recyclable!) bottle is really nice, it's Amazon prime so if you run out it can get to you in 1 or 2 days. The ingredients are simple and its not fragrances. It's literally everything I was looking for. I feel badly now for being so negative towards this brand and Susan in particular. The more I look into the products and formulations it's pretty clear that the aim is to actually bring good products to market. I'm so so so glad I tried this. It's now a staple in my routine and that's saying A LOT. I have literally 1 bathroom and 1 bedroom filled with skincare. I hardly ever purchase new or repurchase things because I have so much. But this is absolutely never leaving my routine. I'm so so so happy with this. I've seen results with azelaic acid and vitamin c and niacinimide, and I've seen quite obvious differences with this serum. Its so many steps in 1 for me and layers beautifully with other skincare and under makeup. I will 10000% be purchasing more from the brand and I hope everything else makes me as happy as this little bottle has. If you have rosacea PLEASE try this and give it some time to work. It's changed my skin so much for the better and I hope the best for everyone else on their skincare journey.
