This review is for the 15% and 25% strengths. My last purchase of Salicylic Acid 15 (2oz bottle) lasted me about 15 facial peels, and I've been really eyeing the 25% strength for my shoulders, but didn't want to buy it and find it too strong. By my calculations, these new sample sizes should last about 3 to 4 peels, and so far, I'm 2 peels in and the bottle is about half finished.
If you haven't used a salicylic peel at these levels, I would definitely recommend starting with the 8 or the 15 to see how your skin reacts. The 15 does sting when I put it on, and it stays red for about an hour afterwards, but it has been working amazingly well for my acne. I'm probably going to buy another full size bottle of the 15 for my shoulders, however, as the 25 is just too strong for me.
Advantages: I don't have to make a big investment without trying the product first. Thank you for making these smaller sizes!

I have struggled with acne for about 4 years now, and after I was given this by my dermatologist a year ago I will never use anything else! It is the only product that keeps my acne at bay. The fact that it's in bar soap form allows it to last for ages which is important for me because I used to go through bottled cleansers incredibly fast. Yay for Coral KAVI!
Advantages: Acne control, oil control, soft skin, convenient, affordable, lasts a long time
Disadvantages: Can dry out skin

Burns like the dickens, but it is worth it if you can tolerate it. My skin is slowly regaining its youthful glow....even my husband noticed (and that's saying something!). ;)

Does its job really well, is a bit drying but nothing a little bit of moisture wont fix? Its really runny but that allows the skin to absorb it quickly.

I have recently been cursed with rosacea in my late 30's, and on top of that, back acne from sweating when exerciseing. I am pleased to say since using this face wash along with the toner my skin is starting to heal. I get what I call an "underground pimple". They are super painful and I always end up squeezing them, making it even worse, and sometimes scaring. I ended up getting the onset of one 3 days ago, and it's almost gone, also it wasn't painful. I started the system last week & was in the middle of a crazy break out on my chest, back, & face. Within the week it has cleared up;) I'm super excited to find a product that is true to its claims. My advice is make sure your skin is wet. Wet hands and disperses 2 pumps onto your finger tips. Rub both hands together to emulsify and in circular movements take time to thoroughly wash you face, chest, & back. If the product starts to get dry add a little water to your hands and it suds back up. My skin was litterly squeaky clean. I use twice a day and follow with toner and c complex & a moisturizer. A girl recommended this product to me and I'm so thankful she did. I hope my review can help someone dealing with rosacea.

Within only two days of using this product, a huge cyst I had for weeks with no sign of budging, came to a head and disappeared. Since then, I've watched my skin clear before my eyes. I was nervous from other reviews that my skin would get worse before it got better, but that was definitely not the case. My oily, acne-prone skin is now silky smooth and dry all day. I've tried hundreds of products and this is the only one that has actually worked. $25 is a very small price to pay for clear skin! This has replaced my other cleansers and topicals completely and I'll never go back.
Advantages: Gets rid of even the toughest acne - cysts and papules, easy to use, and cheap.
Disadvantages: Nothing.

I purchased this product after using Unblemish by Rodan and Fields. Sulfur is effective in treating my hormonal acne along my jawline, but I simply could not afford their regimen and ridiculous shipping charges even though I received the consultant discount. I found Coral Kavi and it has been just as effective, if not more on my acne. It doesn't dry out my skin like I anticipated, though I do follow up with a moisturizer. It rinses clean and does not have a sulfur smell like I expected. I will continue to purchase, as I am in love with this cleanser bar.
Advantages: Effective on hormonal acne
Rinses clean
Doesn't smell
Disadvantages: Can be a tad drying. Follow with moisture and use as tolerated
