Experts praise this serum for those with oily or acne-prone skin, crediting the milk thistle extract and vitamin C to help regulate sebum and reduce the inflammation that feeds breakouts, while also brightening dark spots. The salicylic acid adds gentle exfoliation to keep pores clear. The main trade-off is price, though the gurus note SkinCeuticals backs its formulas with published studies. Those considering it may want to patch-test first and use sunscreen daily, as vitamin C serums can increase sun sensitivity.
