"the first 2 days of using differen gel were a little rough. my skin was super dry and i had to keep caking on the moisturizer. i took a couple days off from use and then started back daily use with no problem. i just moisturizer every morning. my skin still isn&#039;t perfect but it at least dries up the lager cystic acne. i still get blackheads around nose and small &quot;under the skin whiteheads&quot; around my chin. but i don&#039;t exfoliate like i should so that&#039;s my own fault."
