I've been using this for over 2 months now am and pm, and im not sure if it's this product only or this product in combination with others in my routine, but since adding it to my routine i've noticed a significant decrease in acnes showing up. Keeps my skin moisturized until end of the day without it being overly greasy. Will repurchase.
