my dermatologist prescribed it to me after separately using banzoyl peroxide and adapalene for 3 months (which are both in here). after 3 months of everyday use my skin cleared up so much. i’m now using it once every three days, for the future 6 months. i’m so thankful to this product.

If your issue with fragrance is just the smell and not any potential sensitization, I don't find this to have any noticeable smell. I do find that if I apply a concentrated dot in the same Show more
