"This is the Strawberry Smooth BHA and AHA Salicylic Serum, and I think it stands out because of this blend, two percent encapsulated salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and azelaic acid combined in a more gentle way. It targets acne in cute and fun packaging, which isn't something I'm used to since most acne care looks very clinical and boring. Is it my absolute favorite acne treatment? No, that's adapalene for me, but acne is nuanced and I think this might be the right treatment for some people. I'd rather see a product like this on the market next to a standard salicylic acid serum with no added fluff, so you have distinct options to choose from."

"This contains 2% encapsulated salicylic acid, which is delivered slower into the skin so it's less irritating. It has mandelic acid, which is your AHA and will help even out skin tone and texture of your skin, and it's really known for being not as irritating as other AHAs. There's also succinic acid in here, which is great for people with breakouts, azelaic acid, which I personally love for my complexion as far as redness and evening out skin tone, and allantoin to help soothe. It really is just an all-in-one kind of serum. I don't use this every day but I could potentially use it every day because it is so gentle. I tend to use this every other day or I'll start using it for a couple days where I feel like my skin needs a bit of exfoliating attention. You still get a good percentage of exfoliation but it's packed in a much gentler formulation that is kind of an all-round usage product as well, which I absolutely love. The BHA toner is one of the best toners for my skin. It loves it so so much."
