    At first I did not like this product. It's way too harsh for my cheeks. But then i noticed how it had evened out my forehead. It's perfect for my T-zone! My forehead is smooth and the pores are...

    This product is great. For years I used Murad and other semi-expensive brands to try to keep my skin clear and smooth. I don't have a problem with huge breakouts per se, but rather just clogged...

    This stuff is great to really keep your pores clean. I alternate this with the 1% and really helps me from breaking out! Not too expensive either! cosmeticcop.com reads as follows: "Exfoliate...

    This white lotion is an excellent compromise between the 2% runny liquid and the 1% sticky cream-gel. Great for year-round use, alone with no moisturizer necessary. It leaves my skin silky smooth...

    As long as I'm careful not to apply too much, it doesn't irritate my skin and though I still have blackheads, I definitely don't have as many and they're not as noticeable! Thing is I may have less...

    I love this BHA. It doesn't cause me to break out (big requirement for liking a product), and it definitely helps to keep my skin clear. It's very important to use a very small amount, though,...
