This has been working good for my 13yr old son. He has a ton of blackheads, no actual pimples. Large and very deep blackheads. Regular acne cleasers with salicylic acid were not helping at all and...

Yes. These dry my skin out. But holy mother of god any skin irritation (blemish, KP) is GONE in like 12 hours. Ok the KP took longer than twelve hours but nothing took my KP away.
