Because I have dry, sensitive skin, and due to all the ads, I thought this would be my favorite cream. However, this cream caused me the biggest breakout ever. I got cystic acne, fungal acne, and it clogged pores. I wouldn’t recommend it for those with acne-prone skin. Maybe it’s good for others, but that’s just my opinion on the product. If it works for you, keep using it.
