This is a very effective product that works almost immediately. I had a few hormonal breakouts and literally after 2 uses, it all cleared up and there was no scarring. My skin is super soft and as I continue to use the product, old marks are fading as well. My facialist recommended that I use the product for 2 weeks and then give my skin a rest for 2 weeks and this has worked well for me. I would definitely repurchase! It does tingle for quite a few minutes afterward so if you have sensitive skin (like I do), you may want to apply a very light moisturizer first, wait 15 minutes and then apply the bioclear.

This is one amazing product! For your reference,I have been using it for about a month. It has really helped the old red marks fade quickly, which amazes me, and has blown away some very stubborn clogged pores on my chin. Also, it does not irritate me like that darn Tretinoin chemical did, which I wasted 18 months of my life on.
I alternate this with Linda Sy Green Cream, and these 2 products together have done more for my face than any strong Retinoid ever could, without my face looking like a war zone. If you are acne-prone, get the lotion, not the cream.

Potent but very effective. My skin is combo, somewhat sensitive (but I've used AHA/BHA off and on for several years, so I'm fairly tolerant), and was breakout-prone - used daily, or every other day, this absolutely destroys blackheads and clogged pores, and significantly lightens old scars. I did purge, mildly, for somewhat over 2 weeks upon commencing use, as I had never used azelaic acid before. However, this now keeps my skin quite clear and has improved general skin tone/appearance immensely. Rave :)

This product is great! My skin feels really smoothe and has cleared up. My only problem with it is I do not like the smell! My husband has even commented on how strong it smells and doesn't like it either. I tell him it's worth it and he'll have to get over it!

***CAUTION: STRONG STUFF*** PROCEED WITH CARE***
I absolutely love this and I seldom make this kind of comment. It contains 12% AHA, 2% BHA, 2% Azelaic Acid. I've been trying hard to find a BHA product which can eliminate blackheads for me. Beside the 2% BHA, what make this product stand out is the 2% Azelaic acid as it is good at clearing clogged pores. Tried Skin Biology Exfol Serum, PTR AHA/BHA acne clearing gel, PC BHA, Neutrogena and even the pricy La Prairie Booster ($150 for 1oz) and none work as effective as this.

Becareful that there is 2 version, cream and lotion. I rec'd the lotion but not the cream. There is some pore clogging ingredient in the cream. The lotion is simple and safe.

I don't need to use a moisturizer after using the Bioclear lotion (due to the non-drying ellen lange cleanser). But if you do, wait 15 min before applying moisturizer on top so you won't disturb the acid level for AHA/BHA to be active.

If you are need to acid, this maybe too strong for you. Try using a glycolic cleanser first and after you get used to glycolics, add Bioclear in. I did need a period of 2 weeks to accustom to this and topping it with CP serum does help. Please see my review for CP serum.

Active ingredient: Salicylic Acid -2.0%
Inactive ingredient: Deionized Water, Glycolic Acid and Ammonium Glycolate, Butylene Glycol, Azelaic Acid, Nylon-12, Hydroxyethylcellulose

I got this from a lovely swapper & it has worked very well for me & my bf. The white heads would dissappear overnight! Also clear blackheads & acne after 2-3 applications. I noticed that my pore size seemed to have reduced too. It doesn't dry out your skin (or cause peeling)like other conventional acne treatments.

I had blackheads and whiteheads along with plenty of scars and unevenness to my skin tone. Bioclear has greatly helped reduce all of the above!

I absolutely love this stuff! It is a combination of BHA and AHA. It really smoothes out my skin, lessening blackheads and fading sun spots. I have never been able to use AHAs on my face before but this is gentle enough to use daily on my eczema-prone skin! I'm so happy I found this! Retails at $50.00 but you can find it on the internet a bit cheaper. Still, worth every penny!
