Short version: Simple and efficient exfoliator that significantly improved the appearance of my pores, but I had to pair it with a richer moisturizer to avoid dryness, and tightness.

Long version: I have used this exfoliator for about two weeks every three days. It has significantly improved the appearance of my pores by cleaning them inside out and did not trigger my fungal acne.

Ive used this for a whileee now.
First on my face, way too harsh so i did body only. I got lots of acne and heard nothing but "an all cure for everything skinwise" lol.
Well it HURTS like a bitch. God it stings.
Absolutely no difference, if anything worse skin issues. Around the buttocks area.

Best thing that couldve happened to me? African Black Soap.

This is great for exfoliation. This product is thin and watery which makes it a great product to use with a cotton pad. I use it as needed, by gently wiping my face with a soaked cotton square immediately after cleansing. I have also used this under my arms for discoloration & itching and on my feet.
The product is absorbed into the skin and leaves little to no residue.
