it does leave a rather sticky feeling afterwards which for me is the biggest downside. i dont use it when i'm have rosacea flareups since my skin is super sensitive during those times. but do only use it at night. dont use it during the day unless you dont plan on going anywhere. it pulls the acne out really well but will leave little bumps all over for a couple of hours. because of the acids youll have extra sensitive skin so no tanning and for sure wear sunscreen while using this product.
It worked very well the first 1 week of using. My skin was very soft and probably the softest it has ever been. It all went down hill after that week. My skin is normally not sensitive at all but it started to sting me when I applied it the second week I used it, which I thought nothing of. Then I noticed that my skin became more dry. Keep in mind that I used this product as directed: once a day (at night). At the 4th week of using this product. my skin is the driest it has very been and now I have fungal acne all concentrated at my jawline. All the other products I use in my skin care routine are all allergen free, alcohol free and fungal acne free, This is the only product that is not fungal acne free so I know that it's the one that's causing my break out. I really wanted to love it because of all the rave reviews I've read but its definitely a regret to include this in my skincare routine.
Been using this for over a year and a half and have got to say its an absolute game changer. Its helped with active breakouts, as well as remaining texture and pigmentation, and has made me feel comfortable enough going outside without makeup. I've got pretty dry and sensitive skin, and in times of high reactivity I might cut down my usage, but don't feel the need to remove it from my routine all together.
