    HG. Within days my skin was clearing up. No irritation at all, no dryness, flakiness, or redness. I follow this with Cerave in the tub and my skin has never looked better. I highly recommend this!!

    Not overly impressed with this product. I found it to be a very basic BHA gel which after several weeks of use, made no noticeable change to my skin whatsoever. I also hate the feel of the gel, it...

    Previously I used the lotion and I didn't quite like the texture. It was thick, and left a whitish cast like sunscreen and sometimes when I rubbed it in it would flake off. However, the blackheads...
