    succinic acid treatment

    It has been one of the products that I use in my daily routine and it really is helping, my skin is so much better. The only think I don't really like is how difficult it is too get the product out of the bottle when there isn't much left

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback.

    We're truly sorry to hear about your concerning experience with our Succinic Acid Acne Treatment. It's particularly troubling to hear that you experienced an unusual breakout after using the product - this is absolutely not the experience we want any of our customers to have. While we formulate our products to help improve acne concerns and many customers have had positive results, we understand that everyone's skin can react differently. We especially understand your frustration given your previous positive experiences with our other products. We take your feedback very seriously, and we'd love for you to reach out to our askINKEY Team, as we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to understand your experience further and explore how we can make this right for you 🖤

    I haven’t used it consistently so I can’t really comment on it. From the use I have it does seem to calm the redness a bit.
