I was excited to try this after I had used the Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle cream with just the retinol. At first I wasn't too impressed because I broke out within the first week of use (purging,...

This is a great product! The combination of Retinol and Salicylic Acid clears up my skin without making it dry. For any large cystic pimple, application of the cream 2 hours apart on only the...

I had high hopes for this product, based on the reviews.....Unfortunately, it did not live up to them-at all. This stuff broke me out all over my face and it is still recovering days later. Back to...

Oh dear god. I bought this instead of the anti-wrinkle only I'd had before (and ruined by leaving near a heat source), and it was a total waste of money. It absorbs quickly--to the point where I...

I love this cream! I don't know if it's done much for my wrinkles, but my skin feels softer and smoother. It has really helped with my blemishes also. Doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts....

I have been using this for a week and love it. I have used other kinds of prescripton strength retinoids- Tazorac, RetinA, etc. This seems to be better so far. My skin is clear, smooth, and the...

This stuff is great! I've used Retin-A and green cream in the past. With Retin-a, I got such severe redness and peeling that I finally had to quit using it after 3 months. It was clearly too...

This is my new HG product. I am 25 with combo skin. <p> Before I got this, one or two pimples were *guaranteed* to happen during that time of the month. Now, nothing. Maybe one small little...

I was looking forward to using this, as it seemed this was just what my combo skin needed. I am very dry in the winter, but in the last few years I've become slightly more acne prone, too. I...

BAD!!! This was a terrible product for my 24-year-old, blemish prone skin. I used it every night for about 3 weeks. It completely broke me out with cysts and turned greasy on my skin. I am so...

This really cleans out my pores and calms down existing blemishes. The key is to start out slowly to prevent irritation. If I use it too often it actually makes my pores look BIGGER, with wacky...
