I like that it does help in controlling mild-to-moderate acne breakouts, but its smell has made me nauseaus more times than I can count. Which is why I gave it a 1! As the good results I got with,...

This product was okay for my combination skin. It did prevent pimples and was very good for getting rid of them. However, it made my skin so dry and it kept getting flakey. I also wasn't sure about...
