This is decent but you gotta be careful with it if you’re sensitive. I was dealing with some intense inflammatory acne after messing up my skin barrier. My skin seemed to be on the mend so I tried this thinking my skin wouldn’t still be so sensitive and it would help clear up the remaining congestion left behind by my crazy breakout, but I think I should have waited a little longer or only used it Show more
It’s much gentler than the ordinary’s version while still being effective. Maybe a bit less of a dramatic change but my skin tolerates it much better.
