This is a good product that works, but only if you have mild redness/acne/closed comedones. It works better as a booster product to help speed up the progress of your other products IMO.

I use this once a day in the morning and it took me around 3-4 weeks to see visible results. My redness lessened, my acne calmed down, and my dark spots did lighten a bit. BUT these are mild results, but good Show more
