didn't work for me
I recently started to break out due to stress and I have a new love for philosophy products so I decided to give this a try. Prior to buying this cleanser I had already purchased the 'clear days ahead' moisturizer, treatment pads and acne spot treatment. I was seeing some results with those products...

After the first use it started to clear up stubborn acne that I couldn't get rid of. I used a Cerave face wash similar to this and it did nothing. Happy with this purchase!
Best product for me
Age 18-29
Skin Type Oily
I've tried many face products but none seems to work for me even though I only used the every other day or even 3 they would make my breakout more and my skin would feel very dry especially around my mouth. This product is the first one that doesn't make me breakout. I do use it every other day I'm not sure if I have sensitive skin or what all I know is I have oily skin that's what people said I have not sure that matters but it does dry my skin around my mouth if I use it everyday when I don't forget. If I would use it everyday I think it would clear my acne completely even though I use it every other day or 3 when I forget I really do see a difference.

I have oily skin and use this daily along with the Microdelivery. I get so many comments on my skin. Some of it may be genetics, but Philosophy products definitely help!

This made my face more clear. Inusually have black spots in my face and it faded but slowly. I love this one. It does not make my face dry, my pores became smaller as well.
Very strong - caused severe breakouts

I love Philosophy products for my skin so please do not take this as me bashing the company. But I do want to pass along that my daughter used this product and had a severe reaction. It's been weeks and we are still trying to clear up her skin. Use with caution.
