    This is combination of two acids. People who say it made them more oily you could avoid that by only using it at night, and using a night cream combined with some joboba oil. During the day i would...

    OMG.. so, this is expensive, but.... I love that you can layer it under serums and moisturizers and it still does the job. I only use it when I feel like my skin is acting up but this tames it. ...
