What the gurus are saying

One expert found it calming and well-formulated, praising how the 2% salicylic acid soothes even during breakouts without over-irritating, and suggests easing in with twice weekly use at most. However, another guru flagged the tea tree oil as a concern, particularly for those prone to hyperpigmentation, and passed on recommending it despite appreciating the ceramides and lack of fragrance. The read splits on whether the tea tree outweighs the gentle actives.

"It has fruit extract such as Hans plus ceramides which I loved. This was so close to being something that I would recommend because it doesn't even have fragrance in it. But as it stands, it's a moving on because of the tea tree oil. Tea tree is not the thing that you want to really put on, especially if you have skin of color and you hyperpigment."
