Gentle. Hydrating. My extremely sensitive skin tolerated it well, but found it pretty sticky upon drying down. Downloaded some into a spray bottle and used it as a somewhat successful & mild underarm deoderant.

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.
