This product was something I started using while struggling with acne in my senior year of high school. With the stress of senior year, my acne exploded, so I tried many products that were supposedly good for acne. The Avène CPI Skin Recovery Cream, La Roche-Posay Effaclar K, and Paula's Choice Blemish Clearing Solution (these products are really quite good!!) did help reduce my acne, but it never fully went away. It seems to be due to my poor eating habits and irregular sleep schedule (some might say this has nothing to do with acne, but regulating your diet and sleep cycle can really improve acne!). Even while using this product, I was still eating greasy foods and staying up late, but I could visibly see my acne gradually improving.

When using this product alone, I found it to be a bit drying for me. It's best to use this after cleansing, followed by an essence or toner. (Note: For combination skin) The texture is ointment-like, with an oily feel to it.

They seem to often have 1+1 promotions, so be sure to check for those!
