It does the job but slowly.
I used to have alot of acne on my back, chest, butt, shoulder, and under thighs. Usually I can identify almost around 15 red spots, big and small, on my back and around 5 red spots on my chest. Now I occasionally get 1, while the old acnes are now gone. Im on my third bottle now, I use two pumps per shower to get the lather without using a loofa. It works but takes time Show more
