I've been dealing with Acne for way too long! I've tried everything over the counter and has even seen a Dermatologist that prescribed creams that over dried and peeled my face. NOTHING I used worked and I was getting discouraged and frustrated. Once day I came across Alba Botanica Acne deep pore wash and the deep clean astringent. It took about a three weeks to start to see my skin clearing up and it kept my skin clean. I use to get Cystic acne that were painful and would takes weeks to go away. Occasionally I will break out (little ones) but nothing like I use to. I wash my face every morning and night followed by the astringent. If you have sensitive skin I would highly recommend this product. I don't peel on my face anymore, or have itchy dry skin. I have very sensitive skin and have always had skin problems and this product is strong enough on acne but gentle enough on my skin. I purchase this product from Whole Foods. I still have acne scars (pigmentation), but my bumpy, acne skin is gone! Now my skin is smooth.
