It’s a great value but it’s definitely like rubbing pure oil on your face, squalane breaks me out apparently.

I don’t like the feeling of oil on my face, it’s just too much for me.

I honestly didn't liked it at all. I consider my skin to be very resilient and tolerate really high concentrations of exfoliant ingredients, but this was a lot for a leave-in product. I could never use it more than twice a week so the results weren't as good as using another product with a lower concentration but on a daily basis. I ended up mixing it with my body moisturizer to help with KP Show more
