This product was the start of my skincare routine. It helped to remove all the fungal acne I was experiencing on my forehead and cheeks. After this I was able to start my journey on finding products just to maintain my skin. Loved it!
Got rid of my fungal acne literally within one use. The difference was insane. My face was so much smoother, less inflamed, so many little bumps were gone that I thought would never go away. Highly Highly Highly recommend at least TRYING it if you think you may have fungal acne, just use it as a regular face wash and let it sit for a few minutes, then wash off. I wouldn't use anything else for the Show more
