    this may not be the most glamorous product but it works within five days a breakout that I had for three months had gone down and by two weeks gone completely I followed the recommended instructions to make sure I did all the steps. I feel and look so much better.

    A savior the week before my sister’s wedding!

    This is my first ever product review but I have pictures with legitimate results so here I am! I have owned this product for some time now but always forgot about it and didn’t use it consistently. Now that I have a big event coming up, I needed something that worked fast so I gave this product a fair chance. Using it twice a day for less than a week, my acne is way less inflamed and healing up so nicely! I’m on two different topical prescription acne medications and a pill for acne, and this product has given me quicker results than any of those. I would recommend this product! The smell is off putting but it’s worth it to not be in pain from my acne.
