"i was prescribed this cream by my doctor and its brilliant! i&#039;ve seen a lot of comments saying that it burns and it made peoples faces itchy but not everyone has the same skin. our skin will react in different ways. but i have to say after the 1st time of using it the blackheads on my nose got smaller. i would highly recommend this cream. however it does leave my skin a bit dry and flaky but on the instruction sheet it says you can use a perfume free moisturiser or stop using it for a couple of days."
