MY HOLYYYY GRAILLLLL, sad that the other reviews are bad because this product is SOOOO good, controls my excess sebum, get rid of my acne, and calms my redness. I am literally obsessed with it, follow me on tiktok @jelly4skincare for honest reviews!! 😽
This cream made me break out like CRAZY. After just one night of use, I woke up with tons of red, pus-filled pimples. I decided to give it a chance for a week, but the breakout only got worse. My sister also tried it and experienced the same reaction. For a product that claims to be "soothing," it had the complete opposite effect.
