What the gurus are saying
This serum divides the gurus. One dermatologist expresses skepticism about bacteriophage claims for acne without published clinical evidence, while another expert praises the brand's technology and formulas, calling the Fortify Serum her favorite from the line. The main caveat for anyone considering it: the full three-step system carries a steep price tag, though the serum alone may feel more approachable.
