Pros:

Reduces inflammation and redness
Decreases skin's hypersensitivity
Lightweight, soothing serum

Cons:

Polarizing scent; some people love it, others don't. Price is moderate for prestige skin care, but may be an initial turn-off for some.

First, a disclaimer: I work for the Origins brand, which is owned by Estee Lauder Companies. My opinion on this product is my personal one, not that of Origins or ELC. I bought this serum from an associate 3 months ago while mystery shopping prior to my interview, and I've been using it religiously since day 1. Initially I experienced a noticeable improvement in skin texture and in the rate at which my acne healed. After a couple of months I could definitely notice an overall improvement in redness and in reactivity to other products. After 3 months of using this in combination with other Origins products, I've experienced a dramatic decrease in acne. I still get the isolated cyst-like pimple (still experimenting with product combinations to see if any further improvement can be made), but at least they heal quickly and don't scar. If anyone is interested in trying this or other Origins products, I encourage you to visit a retail store. I know some great people who work at Macy's and sell Origins, but you generally get the most knowledgeable and dedicated service from a store (Macy's counters are not staffed by Origins Guides 100% of the time, while stores are).
