Broke me out SO bad, it destroyed my skin.
So greasy. Not even “oil” texture. It’s “grease” texture. Genuinely horrible feel on the skin and didn’t see any results that made it work it.
Used it up on elbows and knees for the sake of it

This is a staple in my routine. i’ve been using this for over 2 years and it keeps my skin clear from breakouts/rashes & reduced my texture. However, it is very drying so read the instructions for usage and f/u with a hydrating moisturizer if you have dry skin.
Disenfecting, a bit drying, but worth it.
The peroxide is going to break down the dead skin cells and any dried blood in your pores. It helps to kill the bacteria in them, which causes pimples and cysts. I've been dealing with fairly severe acne for a while, and I have problems with skin picking, but this helps. Make sure to moisturize well with it. It's steadily been eradicating the infections Show more
