Okay people you know how acne medication dries you out? This product you can use daily and your face is soft just like your cream moisturizer on it. Is taking the bacteria off your face just letting in cells grow. You have to try this.

I have tried many products. Some of them were cheap and some not so cheap. I would have acne occasionally and I have rosacea. This product is controlling my acne and I find my rosacea is improved.
Love the product and it does wonders to the skin..
