One of the big secrets to understanding almost any product out there, is to look on the label and see what ingredients are listed first. Now this won't tell you everything you need to know but it will at the very least, tell you what you're mostly paying for.

The one listed first is the number #1 substance in the container and at over $100 per once ounce bottle, one of the first ingredients after water in iS Clinical Active Serum is sugar cane extract. That's a fancy way of saying “molasses”.

Not to worry though because further down is listed bilberry extract because it contains lactic acid. Oh, by the way plain sour milk is full of lactic acid.

Then we come another ingredient listed, which is willow bark extract. It turns out that it contains salicylic acid. If you want to know what salicylic acid is, just go to your bathroom medicine chest.

That's because it's plain aspirin. That's right! You read it correctly. Aspirin is salicylic acid. Then we come to the mushroom extract and the menthol. Mushroom and mint juice and there's really no more listed.

Now my problem isn't that this product isn't just molasses, aspirin and mushroom juice at over $100 per ounce. Hey, if you want to buy it, go right ahead but you can get it all much cheaper at your corner grocery store.

My problem with it is that they're marketing it to acne sufferers, who are all too often young people living in anguish. The people who developed this product must truly be some of the most cynical people alive.

Now there are some other harsher substances listed, such as Glyceryl Polyacrylate and Butylene Glycol but they're all basically preservatives or powerful chemically based moisturizers. Things you really don't want on your skin anyway.

It's not cheap, but it does work. I've been using this serum for about a year now and can attest that it keeps my skin clearer and smoother than anything I've ever used, period. I rarely, if ever, have to use any kind of pimple cream now. Good thing is that a little goes a long way and a bottle can last for a couple of months. Use it after a good cleanser and then follow up with a good moisturizer and you'll be set.

Great serum for acneic skin, not only it fights with zits, but also works for better appearance overall. It burns a bit because has a menthol in it, but I spray my face with spring water and use less serum. Work great under sunscreen and make up.
