I bought it since it was recommended for me for my adult acne! It does not help with my hormonal flare ups during my period, but it does help maintain my complexion during the other three weeks of the month. ...this face wash is simply amazing. i had been struggling with adult acnes for more than a year. i had tried various good brands but none of them seemed to work. i am now using this face wash for almost 2 weeks and almost all my acnes are gone. i dont have any active acne currently. would definitely recommend his product. i use it along with dermalogica age bright serum. most of the face washes i had used in the past were very harsh to my skin. they ended up flaking the skin, causing it very dry. but this one is really gentle.

MUST BUY FOR MILD ACNE...I’ve tried so many different cleansers throughout the years but I always found that I needed to constantly search for new ones because my skin would clear up for awhile, and go back to how it was before; acne breakouts mainly in my t-zone area and occasional hormonal breakouts along my jawline (sometimes cystic) This cleanser, along with Clinique clarifying lotion, absolutely transformed my skin, shrunk my pores, cleaned up all my breakouts and keeps my skin looking the best it ever has, has even helped with my cystic acne, I cannot recommend two products any more than I can these, a must buy if you have mild acne...Definitely has helped clear my face from acne. I got off of birth control about 2 years ago and it was a nightmare having the hormonal acne that I did .I’ve been using this for over 2 years now and I tried to use and switch to things with more natural ingredients but they didn’t work but this worked like a charm, doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight and dry, my fave feels smooth.
