Talk to your derm
This is fine - i did notice a difference in my skin after a few weeks of usage. My derm told me it is not strong enough for my hormonal acne and prescibed tret. So miracle results may not happen if you have underlying conditions.
Amazing but messy
Please change the packaging because I love this product but it always leaks!
