I have tried everything over the years including Clinique and Proactive. I was on low-dose antibiotics for years throughout my 20's. I am now in my 40's and still had acne until i tried this product. It is NOT because of my diet or that i need "cleansing" that i have had problems with acne, it is because my skin will not exfoliate at all on it's own. This product worked for me like nothing else!
If i do have a dreaded breakout due to hormones, it clears up super fast (a couple days), and i no longer have those horrible, painful cysts that are under my skin for a month before erupting. TRY THIS PRODUCT! I am no longer shy to have my picture taken, and people compliment me on my skin for the first time in my life.
You should also know: It takes a few weeks to really kick in, and i did have an increase in acne for about a week to begin with. I have been using it for 5 months and I can't imagine my face without it. An extra bonus is that some fine facial lines seemed to have become even finer. It has been just the thing for me.
