"The In Beauty Project Acne Serum [...] clears acne and blackheads fast while also nourishing the skin's barrier. It's an FDA-approved non-drying blemish treatment that clears the appearance of acne fast while nourishing the skin barrier, leaving your complexion healthier and happier. [...] Key ingredients include 1.5% salicylic acid, FDA-approved for the treatment of blemishes; zinc PCA, which controls oil production and has anti-inflammatory effects; 6% skin barrier complex, which includes ceramides, lactobacillus ferment, and botanical extracts to support skin's barrier and balance oil production; as well as 4% tranexamic acid and niacinamide, which visibly improve hyperpigmentation."

"The inn beauty Project Acne Serum comes as a lightweight lotion in a light brownish color, with a distinct medicinal scent that's noticeable but not overpowering. I had difficulties with the pump, which often didn't bring up product and required repeated pressing and sometimes banging the bottle on the counter. It contains 1.5% Salicylic Acid, an ingredient approved for treating acne through unclogging pores, along with Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, Niacinamide at 5% for regulating sebum and brightening pigmentation, Bakuchiol, and Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, a derivative of Azelaic Acid, plus Panthenol, Ceramides, Allantoin, fermented ingredients and Tranexamic Acid to help with irritation and leftover hyperpigmentation. I really enjoyed it for its gentleness, but seeing it promoted as an effective at home acne treatment is in my opinion too much. It's approved and helpful in treating acne, but in more than light cases only part of the regime you need, and the supporting ingredients will be helpful but not move the needle much. This product will not substitute treatment. If your main concern is congestion and your skin is easily irritated by higher concentrations, it is a lovely and gentle product to try, though there are more affordable options out there if you are on a budget."

"I like this overall. It has 1.5% salicylic acid, which is a good effective level for acne, along with 3% niacinamide and 2% tranexamic acid, plus some calming ingredients like panthenol and ceramide. I think they got a lot right in this product. I just don't want to overpromise, because in all truth it does not replace my retinoid or my benzoyl peroxide wash."
