If you have Acne struggles, this product is for you.. this product is too perfect! Works well with my combo skin!
I've heard nothing but good things so I'm very confused about my reaction. It broke me out so bad (especially my chin) and it wasn't just an allergic reaction or over-exfoliation, I got big juicy pimples everywhere and I have no idea why.

Has a great texture and is fun to mix! A nice alternative to the kombucha essence. Leaves skin feeling hydrated
I love it when the weather is cold and the skin needs hydration. Leave the skin so soft and non sticky. I have combinational skin.
