Loaded with soothing ingredients, this product is a great option for anyone dealing with painful or cystic acne. It helps calm irritation, reduce inflammation, and ease overall discomfort. I’ve been using it consistently, and my acne is now almost completely gone <3
My skin used to have more acne last time. At that time I notice this essence really help to calm down my skin and make the acne go away faster. I have finished a few bottles now before I review.
