I used to love this stuff, as it was the only thing that got rid of sebum and dry skin in my nose pores. However, it was very stripping and once winter came it really destroyed my skin barrier. Retrospectively it was irritating my skin and enlarging my pores.
Very stripping - I have oily/combination skin and this really damaged my skin barrier. Right after using this it would make my skin feel tight and irritated. Definitely stay well away from this product if you have sensitive/dry skin.
