“I think I’ve bought ~6 bottles of this product, I absolutely love it!! 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”
