I began using this product in October 2018. I used it until March 2019. I immediately began having breakouts (painful cysts, whiteheads, clogged pores). Of course this product has MANY active ingredients, which means there will be a purge (a period of 4-6 weeks in which you experience increased breakouts due to the product bringing gunk to the surface of your skin), so I thought that it was just a purge, however it lasted 6 months and I was breaking out in places I usually don't breakout (which signals that the breakouts are not result of a purge). It basically ruined my skin, and it has taken 8 months to bring my skin back to normal. This product contains a lot of essential oils, which are proven to be irritating to skin (no matter what blogs say - dermatologists have proved that essential oils are not good for your skin, and they know more than websites like Vogue or Self.com). I have acne-prone skin that is not sensitive. Natural is not always better. If you have oily, acne prone skin, I would avoid this product, and try to find a product without essential oils and with fewer active ingredients. I think this product just has way too many actives and will overwhelm anyone's skin.
