great, but not for my acne prone skin...It smells fantastic and removes makeup well but my acne prone skin just cannot handle it and I get tiny itty bitty breakouts whenever I use this too often even after double cleansing. ...The lavender oil helps reduce redness and dryness, the primrose oil is great for inflammation (in pimples and acne prone skin), and rosemary oil is great for treating acne and oily skin because it’s an astringent.
