HOLY GRAIL
so good!! ive dealt with acne for as long as i can remember and this has worked better than anything else ive tried over 10 years. it is a bit drying so i use it every other day but it works great.
Great product
Bought for my 13 yo son.
Great
I kept breaking out and couldnt find anything that actually helped until i found this. Wish I would have taken before pics.
Acne prone? you need this!!
i started getting really bad hormonal acne out of the blue, and coming from someone who only had a pimple or two i had no idea what to do. i got this and saw results SO FAST. plus it left my face looking shiny. will be adding this to my daily skincare routine
