A stronger, and slightly cheaper, alternative to finacea. After some troubleshooting, I found the best way to use this product is to apply immediately after cleansing and drying, waiting for it to dry completely, then focussing on moisturising for the rest of my routine. This is due to AA’s drying potential mixed in with kaolin and alumina (it is seriously mattifying).

I will update this review as I’ve only used it for 3 weeks, but my acute major breakouts have definitely calmed down.
