So Good
Many products out there are too strong for my sensitive skin. This one has lower concentrations of useful ingredients like mandelic acid, azelaic acid, and bakuchiol in an aloe formulation that just works for me. My acne is hormonal (chin, neck, upper body - not severe but a little painful at times) and this really seems to reduce breakouts. I use it after showering and after washing my face, on its own with no other Almondclear products. I'm very grateful to have found it. Would not mind the ability to purchase a larger bottle since my back and shoulders also benefit.
