Healed my cystic acne!!!
For over a year I have suffered from terrible cystic acne. After using this product for a month I have virtually no more break outs. I am so happy that I found this product

Effective spot treatment
I didn't really use this product as a cleanser more so a spot treatment for body acne and I would say it did help dry up acne faster than just letting it go away on its own. I left on for about 15 minutes and my new acne would completely dry up in about 3 days. it can be drying in my opinion so that's why I wouldn't personally use it as a cleanser.
Love it!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great product! It does everything it needs to do plus more. It is so gentle on the skin and helps with all my acne problems. If you have sensitive skin please be careful!

Amazing Product
I have textured, sensitive skin with acne scars, and this product has helped me so much. This one of the only retinol's that did not make me peel off. Friends and family have asked me what I've been using because my skin looks amazing.
