    This is one of my favorite products. It works well for clogged pores, pimples, and cystic acne. I like that this formula is clear, lightweight, and has far less/hash ingredients than any other BHA...

    A product ruined my face once, it's full of bumps and breakouts, and 1% BHA Lotion couldn't take care of it fast enough. So I tried a sample pack of this. Just by 2 days of usage, my cheeks are all...

    Works well in keeping my normal T-zone clear. However, it's too harsh for my dry cheeks. I'll recommend this one for normal/combo skin who wants to keep their pores...
