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 ...

Is a really a moisturizer?

I was a little confused by the way this product is named and categorized. It's called a moisturizer/lotion, which to me suggests hydration, but it feels more like an acne treatment than an actual moisturizer. After using it, my skin didn't feel moisturized the way I'd expect from a lotion, so I wasn't sure if it was meant to replace my regular moisturizer or be used more like a treatment step. The formula feels lightweight and targeted for breakouts, but the name made it hard to understand what role it's supposed to play in a daily routine.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I was scared that this product would dry out my skin, but I have issue! I noticed my acne shrank within days of applying this. I am so glad I received this as a gift in exchange for reviewing because I would definitely go buy.

I've used this for over a year! I only use it once a day after washing my face and toning. it can be a bit drying, but if I use anything else on my chin, I'll end up breaking out. Completely changed my acne on my chin, only get baby pimples now. Please dont change the formula!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
