Short version: Simple and efficient exfoliator that significantly improved the appearance of my pores, but I had to pair it with a richer moisturizer to avoid dryness, and tightness.

Long version: I have used this exfoliator for about two weeks every three days. It has significantly improved the appearance of my pores by cleaning them inside out and did not trigger my fungal acne.
