description

Salicylic Acid is a well-known oil-soluble acid that is the gold standard in treating blackheads and enlarged pores. This exfoliating superstar can unclog pores and balance blackhead-prone, oily skin by working inside the pores to clear out dead skin cells that clog them. Sarcosine joins forces with BHA to further improve combination skin-related problems such as excess oil production.

Works well in a short amount of time.

I started off using aPAD and then Cheer Up. While using aPAD, I noticed a significant reduction in the redness of my inflamed acne. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, but when I experienced some hormonal breakouts, I needed a stronger option to use alongside Cheer Up. This combination helped effectively control the duration of my hormonal breakouts. I'm figuring out how to incorporate this into my weekly routine. I believe this BHA serum is my favorite among all the Malazzia-safe BHA products. I even ordered a spare, and it was great that I could take advantage of their Black Friday sale!

Great product, helps with breakouts

Since getting off the pill, my skin is much more prone to breakouts and blackheads. Porefectly clear has been my first try with a BHA product and ever since it's been great. It reduces breakouts in total and helps with the ones already there.

Good but pills

Amazing price point, works well to unclog heavy clogging skin, good for acne. 1 con is that it pills. I use it twice a day.
