Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s amazing It really helped clear up my acne I really like this product. Just don’t use too much or too often or it will dry out your skin bad. It doesn’t have a strong smell which I love. And the package is convenient

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love love love So at first I was using it wrong and it burned and peeled my skin but you have to make sure your skin is completely dry before use or it will burn ! After I started making sure my skin was dry burning no longer happened and as for peeling you have to start out only using it every few days so your skin can get used to it once your skin has gotten used to it you can apply it more! This happens bc it's increasing your skin turnover . Your face might break out worse at first because it's pushing all the old dirt to the surface so you can have clear skin. If you follow through and follow these steps you'll have amazing results ❤️

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good I think it work decent on my skin , I love the packaging and this brand. Scent smells like pimple treatment, texture is like a cream and I honestly don’t think this is worth your money there is better spot treatments but after trial and error this works on me .
