None .
Dryness , Irritation , More pimples than before
First few applications made skin soft and smooth
Every morning waking up to skin peeling off your face, while applying eyes stung from fumes produced, increased amount of zits, 2 months in and no major improvement to acne just smooth skin.
This has made my pores A LOT smaller. My face is no longer broken out all over like it had been, I'm down to only a few pimples left. After about a month and a week, it all healed and now it's working pretty well.
The initial breakout and dryness was terrible. All over my jawline and left side of my chin was covered in acne after about the first week of using it. I also peeled for the first 2 months of using the product, I am no longer peeling.
NONE, none, none!
I had such a horrible experience with that topical, I can't believe I was ever prescribed it.
isn't too oily.
simple routine.
doesn't dry out skin.
can only use at night time.
i'm not having any cystic pimples, just small, whitehead-like things, scars have lightened
BAD BREAKOUT. i got small zits every where on my face especially on my forehead which was the smoothest part of my face three weeks before i started this. SUPER OILY AND FLAKY SKIN.
