”I had angry, bumpy rosacea skin; within a week of using this, the bumps were gone. I’ve been using it for a month now, and will never go without. While I still have some light redness on my cheeks and nose, it has abated. If you’re struggling with rosacea, try this!”

”It’s currently my #1 treatment for acne. Repurchased again and again. I also use this as a gift for my friends and my mom, and they all love it. The only con: pilling.”

This is by far the only TO product that i will repurchase. I use this every night after Niacinamide and I’m loving the results so far. It has lightened the hyperpigmentations on my face due to acne. I am also liking its mattifying finish when applied, also it somehow controls the oilness on my face cos I noticed how my face became less oily when I wake up since I started incorporating this on my night time routine. - Cha
about 2 months agoThis product was so so for me because it doesnt brighten my face as how people rave it would. It did brighten my face a bit but not super noticeable. Also it has a weird chemically smell to it. I found it disturbing at first but got used to the smell. I think it's worth the shot since it works for other people and this brand has a good reputation. I just wasnt wow-ed by this product.
2 months agoThis product pilled a lot the first few times I used it, but I realized I needed to use less product and apply it more effectively (by patting not, rubbing). I am almost finished with my first tube, and I am very satisfied with the results. I also like the mattifying effect this has after putting them on. Some days, I don't have to use primer or any coverage.
3 months agoI use this with MAP & Niacinamide and I love how they all work together in making my dark spots a lot lighter. Some they totally cleared! A little goes a long way. It feels siliconey, yes but then it dries fast and you won’t feel anything after. I’m not sure if it really keeps acnes at bay but maybe it helps my other acne treating products. I also mostly use this at night because it tends to break into particles when you put a lot of different products on your face. Lastly, you have to give this product time, you may not notice the effect right away but in the long run, you’ll realize that it’s actually working. I will definitely repurchase.
3 months agoI had my dermatologist pricked my closed comedones on my forehead for about a year now and since then, my t-zone gets really red when it's exposed to heat. I discovered this product just last January 2018 and bought this for its sole purpose that it is "brightening", not knowing that it can actually work miracles on the redness! I used to apply this all over my face but discovered it can be used as a spot treatment on the affected area. Though for the brightening part, I haven't tried applying this product enough to see if it really gives off a brightening effect all over my face since I didn't like the silicone-y scent. Still, one of my HGs!
3 months agoI bought TO Azealic Acid Suspension 10% four months ago. I've been using this AM and PM, every day. The suspension has a thin consistency that quickly dries up. It smells 'silicony' and gives a matte finish. It took me a while to figure out how to incorporate this in my skin care routine, but I think this is where it's most beneficial me: After my water-based serums, I thinly apply this as a spot treatment. Once dry, I put two drops of my favorite oil (tsubaki at AM or rosehip at PM), and then apply another thin layer of this product on top. I put on sunscreen in the morning to minimize pigmentation. If there's anything hands-down nice about this product is that my acne no longer leaves a dark mark when it heals. I had two large cystic acnes around my nose when I bought this product which are now barely visible. While smaller pimples do not disappear overnight, it now dries up quicker. My first tube is almost finished and most likely I am going to buy this product again to see if it can further lighten up my older acne scars.
