I have very oily skin and hormonal acne that I had just accepted at this point. I have tried so many different products over the years with no success. I saw this in a buzz feed article and decided to try it and I'm so glad I did. I have used it for about six weeks and for the first time in years I can go out without a ton of foundation. My skin did purge for the first couple of weeks but now it is so clear! I still get a couple of small pimples here and there but they go away quickly. I haven't had any hormonal acne in 2 weeks and my skin tone is even now. My skin is still oily so my pores are still visible but at least I have no acne. I highly recommend this product.

I have very sensitive combination skin and suffer from adult acne and acne scaring. I've tried everything on the market and this is the only thing that actually helps me. I had a 5 step skin care routine before finding this product. Now it's a two step routine! In the morning I use this product and follow with a moisturizer once it's fully dried. At night I use my regular face wash and then this product. It does not irritate my skin and all and somehow has moisturized my skin AND reduced oil AT THE SAME TIME. My skin is the clearest it's even been after a week of use and my scarring has lightened up soooo much.

Burned my skin be careful.

I bought the travel size bottle because I'm always a skeptic, but this stuff is amazing!!! The first time I put it on, I over did it and wasn't sure how I should apply it. I actually had to wash it off the first time because it was burning.The next two times I used it, I put a little bit on with my finger and applied it all over my face. No burning this time! Results were literally amazing after using it twice! My makeup looked sooooo much smoother as well. My face seriously looked flawless! Highly, highly recommend!!!

definitely understand why everyone loves the product so much, adds a nice glow to your skin

Es un buen producto pero me llego roto

Small bumps on my forehead have been an issue my WHOLE life. I started using this product in combination with a blue light therapy wand and my bumps are 95 gone within 3 days!! I know it says to use every other day but I have really sensitive skin and I jumped into using it every day right away (night time) ,I haven't had any issues. Huge fan!

This stuff is absolutely amazing! Where has it been all my life? I am 47 years old and I have combination skin where it also is dehydrated on the cheeks in T-zone. I have large pores and I also have white bump some small some a bit bigger from overproductive oil glands. This stuff has made those either disappear or get very, very small. I have also noticed that my pores are not as prominent. It's not really oily and your skin soaks it in fairly quick. I use it pretty much every day, but started it off every other day when I first start using it because I tend to have sensitive skin in some areas on my face. This product has also helped to diminish the bumps on my chin caused from hormonal acne. Buy this!

I have incredibly dry skin and this has been great for my hormonal acne. I don't use it everyday as to not irate my skin and that has worked well for me. Also great for acne on the chest/ back.

Actually using this on my knees and it completely removed the bumpy skin on top of my knee on one knee, the other is reduced by about 50. I'll continue using. I follow up with a good moisturizer after I let it sit by itself and absorb.

I love this product! It last for a very long time, and it has cleared up the little bumps on my forehead. The smell is a little weird and funky, but I don have very sensitive skin and it doesn't seem to effect it at all. It does dry your skin out a bit though, so definitely use with a moisturiser after.

I really like this for exfoliating overnight! I can tell a difference the next morning because my pores look smaller and clearer. It does not feel irritating sitting on my skin at all and I can follow up with my moisturizer easily, too!

Excelente lo volver a comprar

Buenisimo

This product has been great for my acne-prone skin. I apply twice a day before moisturizer, and this has made a huge difference. My skin feels softer, I have fewer new blemishes, and it helps blemishes heal more quickly. I also think I have rosacea, and this product has not aggravated it in any way. I wish I had found this product years ago and I will continue to purchase!

For sensible skin recommend starting once a week then more forward from there.

Dont know why theres a moisturizing category for review. Its not a moisturizer

Photo of all products I use plus - Full AM PM skincare routine at bottomThis review is based on my experience as a 34-yr old woman diagnosed with PCOS. I've been struggling with acne, cystic acne, and rosacea for almost 11 years. I used to take super powerful medicine...don't do it. It screws up your hormones even more in the long run. Acne is a huge part of PCOS, and can get out of control very quickly. Keep in mind that I have also been implanting new diet changes (DF, GF, sugar free, no eggs, no grain, low carb) and supplements as directed by my Naturopath.I was desperate to finally change my skin. I had to be in my brother's wedding in 6 weeks, and I so badly wanted to feel confident in my skin. It was risky . There was no guarantee that my skin would be done purging by the time 6 weeks rolled around, but I took the risk. Surprisingly, the first week, my skin cleared up nicely. But then...into week 2 began the purge. Mind you, my purge wasn't crazy. It was small pimples, but a lot of them; with new ones every single day. Cystic acne under jawline was constant, but manageable. I already had a pretty strict skincare routine before trying this, so I feel like my skin wasn't as bad a say someone who's skincare routine is less strict.As you can see from the photos, I had a couple purging periods. The first was at it's worst around 30 days of daily (once a day) use of Paula's Choice Exfoliate. It seemed to follow my menstrual cycle a bit, but my good days were few and far between for the first two months. By the end of May, I was beginning to think it wasn't working for me. The week before the wedding rolls around, and I get a large cystic bump on my chin, very red, with little pain, though. This could have just been stress, not sure? Fast forward to mid-June. As I'm writing this, it has been a solid week and a half since I've experienced a fresh breakout. My old acne is healing, and my scars are beginning to fade. It's also important to note that I started using the CeraVe SA Cleanser AM and PM a couple weeks before the wedding. And since I've been using it, I feel like my skin has really started to take a turn for the better.I wouldn't say that this product was 100 the reason for my skin looking the way it does now, but I do know that it has a large part to do with it. I don't expect my skin to be perfect forever, now. My skin still changes a lot throughout my cycle, so I expect the typical PMS breakouts, but this month has been very smooth sailing compared to the first two months, and it makes me REALLY excited!I love when people share their skincare routines. So if any other ladies out there who are PCOS sufferers, this is what my AM and PM routines look like.AM:1. Cleanse with CeraVe SA Cleanser (gently massage into face for 30 seconds) rinse2. Apply The Ordinary's Naicinamide Zinc Serum on damp skin (let sit for 1 minute)3. Apply Esmi Skin Probiotic Skin Mylck as my moisturizer (very light moisturizer - let sit 1 min)4. Apply DRMTLGY's Broad Spectrum 45spf Protect sunscreen (very important, very light, no white cast)PM:Double cleanse1. Cleanse once with Esmi Skin Minerals Uncomplicated Cleanser2. Cleanse again with CeraVe SA Cleanser (gentle massage for 30 seconds)3. Apply thin layer of Paula's Choice Exfoliate to damp/almost dry skin (wait 15 minutes)4. Apply Esmi Skin Minerals' Hyaluronic Serum (let sit for 1 minute)5. Apply Esmi Skin Minerals' Probiotic Skin Mylck6. Apply thin layer of Terminator Benzoyl Peroxide 10 to problem areas (massage in on top of moisturizer, I do this because it's too drying if I put it on underneath moisturizer)Don't make the mistake of putting the Paula's Choice Exfoliate on after skin completely dries. This dries me out very badly, and my skin will be tight all day the next day. I used to let it sit on my skin for 30 minutes before finishing my routine, but now I'm down to 15 minutes. I feel like it's still very effective.The Ordinary's Salicylic Acid 2 mask is also very useful to dry up an active breakout or encourage something under the skin to come to the surface. I usually only use this one time. Anymore than that on that same spot, and it'll turn red and be very dry (in my experience). Let the mask sit for 15 minutes. I only use a dab of it on the active acne spot. I don't know if I would have the courage to smear this over my entire chin/mouth area where I'm prone to breakouts. It's very drying stuff.I know this was long, but I hope that this will help someone else who may be experiencing not just adult hormonal acne, but acne caused by serious hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance due to PCOS. I FINALLY feel like I'm on the right track!

I have very fair, freckled skin with mild rosacea and some sun spots. I know, some girls have all the luck!. This stuff doesn't irritate my skin at all. It seems to be helping to brighten my complexion, shrinking my pores and fading some of my spots. Obviously, you need to stick with something for awhile to get results. I'll stick with it and reorder once I run out. So far, I'm impressed.

I get bad rosacea from cleaning my face. This makes my face smooth, even toned, and less red. It's a must! I will be buying it again in a larger size
