My former roommate was throwing this out, so she gave it to me... I think she was just trying to help me out, really. I have adult acne... actually, I've had acne since I was 11 and it never really went away... and I'm 29. She saw what I went through to keep my skin clear and when I could no longer use Retin-A, she stepped up with this. Anyway, I had a great day at the gym one day, washed up, slathered lotion all over the place in preperation for the sauna (seems a little backwards, but I shave and rinse afterwards) and I decided to try this for in the sauna, thinking it would set in and deep clean... and it did! very nicely! It washed away easily and my skin felt nice and clean. I was so far impressed, just with the feeling. But lo and behold, a few days later, those pesky subcutanious hellacious face monger's were tiny, not even a little red, and no longer painful! So I put a dot on each one over night, and they dried up! I have to say I don't use this too often, and have never used it again in the sauna (because I keep it at home now). But when I do use it, it works!
My other acne trick was toothpaste, which also works just as well... but there's just something off about using toothpaste on your face...
I gave this product 4.5 stars because the toothpaste works just as well for me. But if you want to use something NORMAL on your face, hey, this is a wonderful product. And it doesn't smell like mint.
I have to also say that I have never tried any other pro-active product and probably wont. Because as soon as I'm done breast feeding, I'm going back on Retin-A. Which works wonders on my poor skin.
Try this, though, it is very nice.
