This product is amazing.I bought it for my 14 yr old son to use.His acne was out of control on his face, to the point where he was getting frustrated because he had a daily skin care routine.After a few days he saw a difference of how clear his skin was getting . This product dries the acne up and makes it disappear.I will definitely recommend this product Empress1201 · ambi.com
