It ruined so many Show more
Very strong cream, but it’s medication in the end.
I started using it after intense respiratory infection that wreaked my immune system, and i got large, painful cystic acne.
I apply it at night, after face wash, leave it for 20-30 minutes and then follow up with hydration tonic and moisturizer. It’s important to use sunscreen every day when using it.

I use this every night as my 1st cleanser in a double cleansing routine. It has a little orange/citrus scent but nothing over powering.

Overall a great product and I feel like it actually helped with Show more
