The 2% BHA is a staple for me. Every other night keeps my pores clearer and my texture smoother without flaring my rosacea. I've bought probably 8 bottles. One of few things I re-buy.

The niacinamide serum is fine — not life-changing but nothing bad to say. The educational website is honestly more useful than half their products.

Used the 10% AZ booster for 3 months. Slower than prescription but noticeable calming for me. Pairs well with tret on alternate nights.

The retinol cream broke me out a little and I'd rather just use prescription tret. Fine product but not a standout among their lineup.
