An over-hyped product with no miracle to speak of. It did not give me any breakout, but it didn't improve my skin either. What a waste of money. Thank gdness I only bought the trial starter kit....

It's only an average product. No dramatic improvement. In fact none. The only plus point is good marketing for this product.
