"due to a switch to a generic brand birth control by the pharmacist, my acne flared like a raging fire. i am almost 30, and it was painful and embarrassing. i have tried numerous topicals when i was younger, but this one is by far the best! i apply it to my face only at night. as recommended by my doctor, i mix my regular face cream with it to provide extra moisture! as a result, i have not had any of the mentioned face peeling/drying issues. i also spot treat my acne scars with vitamin e cream that makes them fade significantly quicker."
