An absolute must-have for easily irritated dry winter skin! Helped me with irritation and tightness from wind burn and cold without clogging my pores. This product single-handedly turned my skin for the better. Newly found HG.

Used it and woke up the next morning with a pimple, thought nothing of it and used it again and my face was red the next day with so many break outs! Didn’t know what exactly caused it but I only used it twice and never again. I have sensitive combination skin.

this product does reduce visible redness of pimples but i’m not sure if it actually does anything to get rid of the pimple?
