I tried so hard to give this a chance but after 10 days I have to let it go. Initially I thought maybe I was just purging but it hasn’t stopped. The past few days I’ve developed the most acne I’ve had in years.

best for very sensitized skin
i recommend this product mainly for those who have dry and sensitive skin. could be great for those experiencing dry skin from accutane or retinol. it makes your skin super soft. if you’re looking to solve acne breakouts with this product it might not be what you’re looking for.
