Okay i have been using this for over a year now. for context about a year and a half ago i had tons of acne from stress, poor diet and i just broke out really bad for about 6 months straight. i started using this and went through a bottle a month and at first i thought it wasn’t working but after being a long lover of this product you need it. i use it every once and awhile now and it helps keep m embclaeys · sephora.com
