I really love this Caudalie acne serum even though it’s expensive. I don’t mind investing in this skincare because I’m afraid to try other products that might not work for my skin. ...I love that it’s both effective and gentle—usually, products with salicylic acid leave my skin dry or irritated, but this one doesn’t. It helps reduce the size of my breakouts quickly, especially cystic acne, and the PHA in it gives my skin a smoother texture without causing flakiness.
