Really Works
It literally made my acne go away within 2 use. I used it on my acne 2 times. And the acne was gone & another one was reduced. Like what?! Not a single product I tried ever did this for me. I'm so glad to find a product that works for me. I'm definitely going to keep using this one.
Game changer
