    I love this stuff! My skin feels so nice and smooth after I use it, and my pores are not nearly as noticeable as they used to be. I do not feel like the formula is too "watery"; I think the...

    My skin is mature, acne prone, combo, sensitive -- I was happy the first couple of days. My skin felt smoother and the pores appeared smaller. Then all hell broke out. Small bumps, white pustules....

    I used to use the old idealist, before I became knowledgable about AHA/BHA exfoliants and the use of retinoids to fight acne and dry skin buildup. My skin was also much oilier back then, so I would...
