It has really saved my skin from so many problems! I bought it because of all the good reviews and it did not disappoint! After a month and a half of using it (I use it every night) I have noticed the following changes:
I no longer have those massive breakouts. Only one or two spots when I'm about to have my period.

got it as a sample in a tatcha gift set, have been very wary of using any AHA/BHA after being on tretinoin but this stuff helped me when my skin felt soooo dull and lifeless and clogged... idk if I can use anything else after this
