    Great product

    I started to get acne on my cheeks and was struggling to find anything strong enough to clear it. Using this as one step in my double cleansing routine has really helped to get my acne under control without overdrying.

    Only issue is I really hate the smell, it's like a chemical coffee scent which is the only reason I removed a star
