Reviews For SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense Salicylic Acid Serum

Great for teenage boys & mom! (Read directions!)
This is the only blemish crème/serum that works for my pre teen son’s stubborn blackheads on his nose. As soon as his hormones started changing around 11-12yo his nose area was a hot mess. It felt like it happened overnight. I had a bottle of this on hand, but hesitated to have him use because of the price so I first tried several OTC options, biore strips, and a handful of other teen acne serums before realizing he needed help from the pros - seriously. I don’t think boys care like girl & they’re much less detail oriented. It’s a challenge to even get him to apply ANY soap to his face in the shower much less exfoliate or do any of the above consistently. I can’t be the only boy mom who’s discovered their lack of concern & consistency with thorough hygiene regimens! Anyway, I started leaving my bottle on his bathroom counter after applying for him several times and just reminded him to apply it on his nose whenever he brushes his teeth. After a while he noticed the difference and even asked me where it was when I occasionally borrowed it and forgot to return it. Well, he ran out around Christmas & told me I needed to replace it & asked me several times since if I’ve reordered it. His blackheads are now out of control again. Fwiw, his nose was virtually cleared up entirely from using this, but it has now been 2.5 months since he ran out. I won’t let this happen again. I feel like his blackheads are talking to me at this point. Gross, I know. Long story, it is really quick and easy to apply, but more importantly it actually works and eliminates the most stubborn of blackheads. When starting on a problem area, apply at least twice a day (am/pm). If you do this for 2 weeks (once/week physically exfoliate the nose before applying) you will see a huge difference quickly. Then, just once a day or even every other day for maintenance. A LITTLE goes a LONG way. The bottle should last a year (at least) if just applying to trouble spots. Tip: I only use the screw cap on the bottle & do not leave the dropper in the bottle. This is recommended per the instructions due to break down if the dropper is left in the liquid.

Game changer for oily skin
I have been using Blemish and Age for about 3 years and I cant say enough about it! My skin is less oily and my breakouts are minimal. A little goes a long way. It is pricey but 100% worth it if you have acne prone skin.

Helps
I have had acne since I was 13, so even as an adult, I have to use products to help my oily skin stay blemish free. This helps.

Helps Blemishes
I have been using this serum for over a year now and it makes a difference. I rotate between the serum and retinol every other night for blemishes and hormonal acne. The serum has a strong smell, but is gentle on the skin and is not sticky or oily. I also haven’t had any issues with dryness due to me applying SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2-4-2 as my last night step. I have been battling with acne since adolescence and no longer do. For reference, I’m a 40+ year old woman with oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin.

Blemish free
My son have been using this serum for years. Really helps him with his acne as a teenager. Brightens up his skin also. I saw the difference when he was just started using it within a week. Now he cant live without this. He ran out and i didn't have any in stock. Luckily, LovelySkin is fast on delivery. He wasn't out for long.

Strong
Very potent, I have found that it’s really only good for spot treating. I have very sensitive skin so I use only a deep of two in emergencies

Not for 40+ acne prone skin
I used Skinceuticals Blemish + Age Defense for a few months and it was a disappointment. The serum felt greasy on my skin, and instead of helping my hormonal acne, it actually made my cystic bumps along my jaw and cheeks worse. For the high price, I expected real results, but it only left my skin more irritated and inflamed—not worth it.

It Works!
I have aging skin and clogged pores. I have been searching for a product that will get rid of the hardened clogs and this has worked for me.

My new favorite
I have hormonal acne or maybe rosacea or could be both. Most of my breakouts happen on my chin and around the mouth. I decided to try this product although it's pretty expensive but I was so tired of spending $$ on all kinds of products that did little to nothing to combat the breakouts. So far, it's definitely helping with having new breakouts as often, although I still get a bump here and there. I use it morning and evening. It doesn't irritate or make my skin dry, which I like. Considering that I only use 2 drops per use, the bottle should last me a while. Once I use it for a prolong period of time, I'd be able to access whether or not this is a good investment and if I would repurchase.

Cannot be without
This is my absolutely favorite go to remedy from any potential blemishes. I say "potential" because since I have started using Blemish + age defense, I do not have to worry about endless breakouts that I have to hide. This really is safe and reliable product. It does not dry your skin, it does not cause peeling, it is safe, reliable and can be used any time of day so long as you remember your sun lotion. I do not want to ever run out. Love it! Thank you for offering this product. It has saved me!

Must Have
An esthetician recommended this to me after a facial. I have always had black heads on my nose along with hormonal acne flare ups. This has helped the acne flare ups and now at every facial the extractions on my nose are less and less. It really works.

Helped with my adult prone acne
I’ve been using this product for about a month and have noticed it has really helped with my adult prone acne. I alternate the SC Vit. C&E with this SC product and it has really helped with my acne.

Great for problematic skin
Works well on my 58 yr sensitive acne prone skin. Just wish the price was more inside my budget.

My to go for the occasional break out.
I've been buying this product for a few years now. It works well for my mature oily skin and the occasional pimple I get without over drying it. My husband and teenage daughter also use it. I wish it would come in a pump because the dropper's lid tents to melt over time so I use the other lid that comes with it, especially for traveling.

Good option for acne
I like this to use occasionally for the randon hormonal acne that pops up. I feel like it helps quite a bit. It lasts quite a while since I only use it on occasion.
