Great refreshing serum for combination/oily skin

A nice gel serum that contains salicylic acid, willow bark extract, fruit stem cells and witch hazel to “purify pores, curb bacteria, absorb excess oil and fade the appearance of post-blemish pigmentation.” The price tags of most serums intimidate me, and this one felt so approachable at ~$26.

It’s the perfect daytime consistency for skin that leans oily in the summer. It won’t be hydrating enough if you don’t have combo/oily skin, though. I noticed *slightly* less congested pores and my smaller blemishes dried and faded nicely with this — but more than anything it feels really refreshing with a minty scent 😌 I won’t be repurchasing right away since I feel like I need a more hydrating and brightening serum next.
