Allergic reactions on fleek
BUYER BEWARE!!! this stuff is filled with allergy causing chemicals. For those saying it is "purging" your skin --> purging usually will occur only in areas you get your acne, and it will be just that- your usual acne. Maybe cystic depending. This stuff gave me hives, a million tiny whiteheads all over my face too. My eyes are starting to swell shut. This is not purging. You can also google "face allergic reaction" and probably find images of people with the same thing- it usually occurs due to plant extracts or known allergens (METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE being one of them in this ingredient). So yeah. NOT GOOD AT ALL!! steer clear, this is an acne sufferer's worst nightmare.

Is it worth the time?
After 2 days of using this product, I had my first 'breakout' in my acne experience. This is a very good product for many people, but for some people, it causes major breakouts, dry skin, and itching. This happens because it pulls up all the dirt from your pores and slowly dries them out, it just takes a while.. patients is key. I only recommend this product if you already have bad acne. If not, it's not worth the risk or the time. I immediately switched back to my old face wash routine which I highly recommend. I wash my face only twice a day, when I wake up and before I go to sleep. I start with my face wash 'Neutrogena pore refining exfoliating cleanser' Then I use my toner 'Neutrogena pore refining toner' and one the toner air dries, I apply moisturizer to keep my face from getting dry skin. This has been helping clear my face since the break out. I hope you found this helpful.

The inital breakout isn't unusual.
Um. What most of you are experiencing with this product is called skin purging. I'm surprised a lot of you weren't aware of this. Start using this twice a week and then gradually move your way up. The purging shouldn't last more than 6-8 weeks. If you're still having breakouts after that period, your skin is just having a reaction to the product so you can ditch it.
