    Well I noticed a difference after the first night of using this. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it felt and smoothed on my face. In fact, I didn't even need to use a moisterizer...

    I have acne prone skin and thought this product would help exfoliate my skin but it made my skin break out in bumps all over. It took weeks to recover from what this product did. I know everyone...

    Well, I've been using this for a grand total of 3 days and am now taking a firm liking to it. The finish is matte but I only use a little squeeze of it. I find though that just using it alone w/out...

    I think this is by far the best BHA product you can find on the market. My oily skin was much smoother and clearer. The only draw back is that it doesn't control oil too well.

    This product has saved my skin. My pores are even looking a lot smaller. I think I might even be able to stop using foundation soon. I've been only using it every other night for about 4 months....

    I love this. It is gentle and doesn't dry out my sensitive skin. After using it for a few weeks my skin is clear and more even toned. I actually don't need foundation!

    It's hard to imagine the skin type that this product wouldn't be great for. There's nothing about it I don't love. A good, basic, gentle exfoliator with no unnecessary colors or fragrances. I...

    Sorry, but this didn't work for me. PC 1 and 2% Lotion dried my skin extremely after half an hour. Then I got breakouts. Finally, I stopped using it.

    This is a good preventative lotion for those with combination-dry skin who have a mild problem with breakouts. It is a no-frills product that delivers what it says without any hype. I personally...
