Doesn't work
I like that way the product smells, it leaves your skin feeling tingly and fresh. However, I've used this product for 3 months and there has been no improvement. My acne has actually gotten worse. A lot of small bumps have spread on my forehead and chin causing my skin to look and feel very textured...

drying
been in the market for a good face wash . I have larger poors prone to blackheads. this feels nice but super drying and haven't noticed any improvement.
Drying and gave me slight cystic acne
I have been using this product for 2.5 momths and i'm nist now realizing that it was the product giving me acne deep under my skin that jusy looks like scars, or big whiteheads every other week. It has also been really drying, not meant for sensitive acne prone dry skin unless you have had previous sucess with salicylic acid(in my opinion). I don't reccomend.
Worked for my son
I originally bought the acne treatment set with the wash, toner and treatment. It worked great for my son. Once he ran out of the wash, his face started to get bad again, so I bought the bigger size. Once he started using it again, the redness and acne stopped. It's a good product.
Good but drying
Make sure to use a pretty heavy moisturizer with this! I have dry skin (especially in the winter) and this makes my skin feel tight and it even started flaking a bit, wouldnt fully blame it on this cleanser though. It does work at reducing down pimples and it removes makeup very well.
Amazing!!
I kept seeing this product all over my For you page on TikTok and I wanted to try it out specifically since I have ezcma everyone was recommending me this product and all I can say is that I definitely been seeing some results
