Great for bacne! Irritating and clogging for sensitive skin

Disclaimer: I received this product free from Bzzagent for testing purposes but the opinions expressed remain 100% my own honest thoughts. After trialing the Kiehl's Acne Lotion for a month now I personally prefer it as a treatment for body acne as it has proved to be ineffective in managing facial ...

I have used this for a little more than a week. It is just not working for me. irritates my face - slight burning sensation and dried out. I also tried to use on my chest as I get occasional breakouts there and I am itchy. it is going in the garbage :(. Very disappointed

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I LOVE this moisturizer! I have been dealing with breakouts due to my medications and this has been a lifesaver! It pairs perfectly with the Kiehl's clear liquid patch for pimples or any breakouts. I let my teens use it all the time too! A little goes a long way!! I share with my teens also! It keeps everyone in my house moisturized and blemish free!

This moisturizer is so good at keeping my acne under control and also helping with fade some of my old acne scars. It wasn't drying my skin out and didn't irritate it at all. I didn't experience any breakouts thankfully since this really did its job with calming my acne down! The pimples I did have were healing well and spots faded

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This is a fantastic product. I use it regularly in my routine in the morning and at night. It doesn't dry out my skin and even gives me a healthy "glow" look. I definitely recommend using it!!!
