Chemical Scalp Exfoliant - Helps Manage Dandruff & Oils
I use this product for "other than the intended purpose". Skin care is important to me, but I struggle with psoriasis/dermatitis which sometimes results in dandruff and a rough patch behind one ear.

A new staple in my evening routine
I've noticed a difference in both the severity of my breakouts and my skin's overall texture. Nothing is a miracle product but this absolutely makes a difference and is worth the price and effort.

Helping my Pregnancy Acne
Using this in combo with the Azealic Acid and I've seen some good improvement in my pregnancy acne!
Loved this product
Actually does what it says it'll do loved it
I actually buy this product over and over again
I use it day and night. It's not a good "brightening toner" but it keeps the breakouts and pimples away. I'd say a big bottle lasts about 3 months or so. I think I've been through 4 big bottles and 2 small bottles so far. I'd say that's about a year since I started using it and I plan on continuing.
