Great—and so reasonably priced too!
My extremely sensitive and acne-prone 44 year old skin has cleared a lot since starting this regimen — I use the CLNS and SALIC as well. Definitely had an adjustment period where my skin got scaly, but that is usually the case when starting most Retinol-type products. The worst adjustment was just below my eyes. I didn't put this close to my eyes, obviously, but about 5/8" down, the skin was looking dry and scary for a few. I had been wanting to get a good eye cream anyway, so after a lot of research I pulled the trigger on Osmosis Refresh PM. Almost immediately, the texture went back to normal (and then better than normal!). No issue since. I've now been using this combination for over a month, with very few breakouts. The discolorations from past blemishes are fading, easily cover with a little Jane Iredale powder foundation. I no longer need a cream foundation for cover, as everything is looking pretty evened out!I also use Rejuvelle SPF 45 for face which is the *first* sunblock in my adult life that hasn't broken me out.

It works!
Love this whole line! On my 2nd bottle and this is the probably the first time I've ever repeat bought a facial product because it works!! I use it at night after oiling cleansing to remove makeup, then I use CLNS to remove any dirt or makeup left, then I apply the BENZD to scarrs and problem areas, last I apply RETIN all over. In the mornings I wash with CLNS, apply SALIC all over and if I feel a breakout I'll spot apply the BENZD. I use their CONS concealer under the Alima Pure powder. This routine has worked wonders!! I had sever adult / hormonal acne and I can't believe the difference after using this line! No more painful, awful cysts! Scarring is getting better and those annoying under the skin pumps are gone! Recommend this line to anyone dealing with acne. My friend used it one weekend and she noticed a difference in two days!! She promptly bought the whole line too. For the price, and quality... this product can't be beat!

Cleared up my acne!
This cleared up my acne! I use to use proactive but since it costs too much and has a ton of chemicals I wanted a natural alternative. It did take a month of consistent use to see results but my skin looks great and I don't have guthy renker charging my credit card up the wazoo. I used it in combination with a natural tea tree cleanser. I also have a lot of scars that are starting to fade and my hyper pigmentation is down to a minimum. Love this stuff- it is thick and creamy so my skin feels hydrated. Smells good too. Worth every penny.

I have super sensitive skin and have struggled since middle school with skin issues. After years using Proactiv and acne.org products with moderate results but lots of irritation, I switched to a prescription cream, but was still struggling. I wanted to go back to Benzoyl Peroxide since it had been the most effective of anything, but didn't want all of the additives and parabens, and irritation. I read about the POM line of products and decided to give it a shot. Two weeks ago I switched to using POM's CLNS cleanser twice a day, RETIN at night, and BENZD during the day. The results even so far have been amazing. My breakouts have decreased both in number and severity and my skin just feels healthy. I didn't have any of the redness, peeling, and irritation that I get with other Benzoyl Peroxide products. I'm tentatively very excited!

It really helped my skin.
My girlfriend has a pretty intense skincare regimen, and it made me worried that I wasn't doing enough, so I tried to find something that was really scientifically-formulated and also had a fashion-forward design. Wow, was I impressed by this product from The Skincare Company. I haven't seen their bottles in a lot of stores yet, but my skin has really noticeably improved since I started using this bottle a few weeks ago. Really glad I could get in before everyone is using it.

Broke me out.
First, my skin type: sensitive (severe reactive redness), oily/combo that is getting drier as I reach the end of my 30's (but I am still oily), clear with minimal breakouts, roughness on cheeks, a couple little stubborn miliaWhen another company stopped making a BP moisturizer I loved, I decided to start incorporating a retinol product for most of the concerns listed above, and overall smoothing as preventative anti-aging (no real wrinkle concerns at the moment). This pale-yellow/golden-colored formula seemed similar in composition and seemed to be one of the gentler ones that I could find so I thought I'd give it a shot. The texture is nice, a little thinner than I expected but nice viscosity. Scent overall is barely detectable but I do smell the shea butter (maybe because I use raw shea butter so my nose picks it up?), and it absorbs well when only using one pump. (I tried to increase to 2 pumps as instructed and my skin wouldn't absorb it.) The reason I can't rate it higher is that it broke me out horribly. I rarely get breakouts and, when I do, it's because I used something new or it's hormonal. (Since I *was* hormonal the first time I used it, I kept experimenting with it and kept breaking me out.) I did feel my cheeks get smoother where I was hoping they would but then, along my jawline, temples, and forehead, I got tiny little bumpy breakouts and looked awful. I stopped using it and within a couple days things were calming down and clearing up. I think the formula is just too heavy for my skin. It has a lot of rich, emollient butters in it (jojoba, safflower, shea) and I think I just can't tolerate it. On the plus side, the retinol in this is such a low percentage that even my sensitive skin wasn't phased by it at all when combined with those buffers. I can't stand having partially- or barely-used products cluttering my bathroom, but I hate throwing stuff away (and wasting money, of course) so I tried to continue using this on my cheeks only and it started breaking me out there, too (just small, little bumps that could be easily extracted, but still), so it seems like this was a one-time-hit wonder - I never again experienced the smooth skin. I really wished it had worked because it's affordable, a little goes a long way, and the ingredients are nice.A note about the customer service/company:I left a 1- or 2-star review on another product and the company reached out to offer a refund and/or replacement. At the time I decided to contact them back about it, I also decided to bring up the issue with this. The founder/owner (Johan) was friendly and immediately refunded me for both, but I had asked to exchange (actually return the bottle) for different products instead, and that wasn't even acknowledged. I still want to try the Salic (that may be closer to the discontinued product I love) but, honestly, I've lost motivation to continue trying this company's products at this point. I may try again with the Salic when I get desperate and use the last of my discontinued stuff.
