IQQU is a skincare line by the famous makeup guru Michelle Phan. IQQU products can be purchased online through http://iqqubeauty.com . IQQU products range from moisturizers to sunscreens. I am very thankful to have received all of my IQQU products as gifts from Dan, and I’m very glad he got them for me because they’re so expensive. Most of the products used to be $33, but are now $25 I believe. I have the Acne Serum, 14-day Revitalizing Serum, Replenishing Cream, and Jasmine Rice Scrub. The only products I haven’t tried are the Rejuvinator cream and the Advance Suncreen. I have decided to review them since the IQQU skincare line is fairly young and people are hesitant about it.
I currently really love the combination of the Revitalizing Serum and Replenishing Cream (night cream) and I believe the Rejuvinator (day cream) would be perfect. Most of the products are currently out of stock though. I will review these two items later; in the mean time, here’s a breif review of the Acne Serum
IQQU Acne Serum $25
A concentrated treatment that is designed to treat acne and redness.
Non-Comedogenic. No Fragrance. Paraben Free
Key Ingredients
Retinol- a purified form of Vitamin A, which purportedly has rejuvenating and restoring effect of tired, sun damaged skin by stimulating production of collagen in the skin.
Aloe Vera- is a herb that comprises of organic acids, enzymes, antibiotic agents, amino acids and minerals that is known to promote healing.
Tea Tree Oil – is an essential oil that is a potent healer that heals the daily damages on the skin.
Vitamin E- Is an antioxidant that helps protect skin cells from damaging free radicals.
The Technical Stuff
The serum is 1.01 oz for $33 (Not $25 at IQQU). It’s quite exspensive, and I feel that the bottle is too small.
This whole bottle would only last you 3 months tops if you used it sparingly, but if you’re like me, and you use it everyday, it would be gone within a month. The color is orange–I’m assuming due to the Retinol in it–and the texture is pretty light. The pump takes a few pumps before it actually works, and when you think you’re out of the serum, there’s actually more. So I would use a Q-tip to use the left over serum. It’s $33, so I would use every bit of it.
How do you apply it?
I cleanse my face with a cleanser, and apply a small pump over areas that I have a pimple or acne. Then after letting it absorb for a minute, I apply moisturizer.
Does it actually work?
When I first used IQQU’s Acne Serum in November, I was disappointed because after a month, it did not clear my breakout.I don’t have severed acne, but I break out ocassionally due to makeup, oily hair, etc. The only difference it made was that it stopped my already-inflamed pimple on my forehead and prevented it from scarring. But the more I used it, the more it seemed like the serum was breaking me out.So by mid December, I stopped using it.But to be fair, at the time, I was wearing old makeup that was probably the reason for my breakout. In addition, my skin was probably not use to the Retinol. With that said, I started using the acne serum again three days ago, and to my surprise, it noticeably faded 3 of my (recent) acne scars. It has not caused any breakout, and it’s actually aiding in some of my acne. I think the fact that I’m also using IQQU’s Revitalizing Serum also helps–so I am quite happy with it.
Would you repurchase?
Yes, I would, seeing as how the price decreased from $33 to $25, BUT, I would only use it on areas that I have acne or when I have small breakouts. It’s too expensive in my opinion to use all over my face for just “prevention”. I would leave that job to cleansing and moisturizing.
Do you recommend it
Not necessarily, because I think there are other products out there that are less expensive that gives similar result but over a longer period of time. Aside from IQQU’s acne serum, I use Aveeno Clear Complexion cleanser and daily moisturizer, which gives good result for me as well, and it’s half the price of the acne serum.

Wow Vina, nice review. I was think of trying Michelle’s products. I like supporting people who have made it thanks to youtube and the internet.
I just think they’re too expensive for my budget and it seems a lot of people just don’t like the products and the results they offer for the price.
But yeah, nice to see you blogging.~
I have had acne for 2 months currently. Informational read, but will you do one about acne redness
