    Mariam used our INKEY Insiders service for 12 weeks. "A big part of this journey was Rhiannon's (askINKEY) help and I can't thank her enough for all the helpful advice and product recommendations. This was a whole ride and now I just have to be patient with the hyperpigmentation. Thanks for being present throughout my skincare journey!"

    "I had a big event coming up, I needed something that worked fast so I gave this product a fair chance. Using it twice a day for less than a week, my acne is way less inflamed and healing up so nicely!"

    Prefer this product over what my dermatologist prescribed me. Pictured is before and after using this product, just 2 weeks apart.

    I have used this for approx. a month now and I love it! I have a bit of an oily skin, so I can use this in a bigger area (I feel like it is drying a bit), but my acne scars have faded so quickly!

    First, it works really well! It helps to dry out blemishes and makes them go away much quicker. Second, it also helps to get rid of a feeling that you have to do something with that nasty pimple, since you can use it up to 3 times a day to target those specific places you have issues with without having an urge to touch them, squeeze them etc. Third, since it is used only on specific spots, one bottle lasts for a very long time. This is fantastic!

    I love it! I can see results after a month.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this spot treatment works quickly on blemishes, with many noticing overnight improvement in redness and swelling. The green-tinted formula helps camouflage redness while treating. Many reviews mention its effectiveness on hormonal breakouts and its gentle action on sensitive skin. While most find it fast-acting, some note results can take longer. A common observation is that a little goes a long way. Several users mention a strong scent, though most feel the results outweigh this concern.

    Miracle product

    this may not be the most glamorous product but it works within five days a breakout that I had for three months had gone down and by two weeks gone completely I followed the recommended instructions to make sure I did all the steps. I feel and look so much better.
