Acnemy Zitclean Purifying Cleansing Gel 25 ingredients
(for context i have very dry sensitive-ish acne prone skin) WAYYY too drying and irritating after one use my skin was so red and inflamed and dry it was flaking off around my mouth and overall just a horrible painful experience i thought at first i just went too hard with differin the other night so i used it again the next day (WORST DECISION EVER) it felt like my skin was on FIRE would not Show more
Its not made my acne go away entirely but i certainly saw an improvement. I went to Barcelona and broke out so bad with my normal products and when I got back home was suffering it became almost cystic acne and this reduced the amount on my face and the severity so much 🙏
