"i don&#039;t know why i&#039;ve continued to use this, for what seems like years. i stayed with the 5% gel. while it&#039;s worked very well keeping breakouts at bay and my shoulders and chest, it has been not good for my face. i just keep getting pimples and excessive oil saturation. i very recently was upped to the 7.5% and that seems worse. i think it just is too harsh or just not effective for my face. i tried just using it every other day, but it seems the morning after i&#039;ve used it, there are new pimples."
