This product is questionable for me. I got it recommend by a pharmacist, but I don’t think that was the right one for me and my skin at the moment. It’s not tingly or irritating, maybe a bit drying despite having oily skin/comb skin. Doesn’t smell bad. I don’t really like the feeling when I apply it on my skin (a little difficult to explain). It might help with acne, but not really mine.
