I purchased this with Paula's pore normalizing cleanser.At first my skin was really sensitive to the exfoliant and it did sting a bit to where I had to wash it off and use less of it. I also started breaking out a ton (purging). Two months later, my skin is really glowy, my acne scars have smoothed out, my skin all looks near the same color unlike before where I had red acne mark's and hyperpigmentation. I still break out every now and then but it's not as bad as it used to be, and the exfoliant no longer stings regardless of how much I use. Better skin won't happen over night but if you trust the process, you'll like the end result.My routine isEvening: Shower>Use Cleanser>Use Exfoliant>sleepAnd then in the morning I apply sunscreen before going out/work.Hope this helps!
