Cons:
Produced more oil on my face.
Broke out in areas I did not have problems with before.
Used it for 2 months, didn't work.
With my insurance I was able to get a 3 month supply (3 bottles) for $10.00. Used the product for 2 months and it made my face more oily, and acne appeared on my chin, jawline, and forehead- areas I never had problems before. As soon as I stopped using it, acne subsided but left scars from the inflamed acne left from using the product. I am only giving a rating because it's required, I DO NOT recommend this product.

Cons:
Made skin even more oily
I have been using this cream for about 2 months now and i can honestly say it had no effect whatsoever on my acne. I applied it every morning before work and within that time being at work my face would produce even more oil then it already does.

Pros:
-not expensive
Cons:
-Made skin peel
-Burned when it was applied
-Made skin break out more
-Made skin more oily
I wanted this product to work so bad. I have batteling acne for eight years. I had the liquid that came in a bottle with the applicator soft tip. Unfortunatly, this product made my skin worse than it already was. My skin would peel, which made the product burn my skin more when I put it on. I quit using it after 6 weeks because it was doing more harm than good.
