Acné saver !!!
Size: 4.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use this product twice a day. I love how it helps keep my skin clear while also improving the blemishes currently there. Lathers well under water and doesn’t have a sticky after feeling. I think it works great especially with how lightweight is is.

Effective for blemish-prone skin without over drying
Size: 4.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have skin that is both sensitive and oily/blemish prone, and I have found this to be very effective without being irritating or over drying. The consistency is a little syrupy which is very helpful in the shower or when dispensing onto wet hands at the sink. I feel like a lot less ends up wasted. More slippery gels can be harder to apply or even dispense since they have a tendency to well, slip off the hand and down the drain before making it to the skin. A little goes a long way and (in conjunction with a good moisturizer!) it seems to help loosen black heads and sebum plugs better than a lot of other products I have tried. It does take a little more effort to rinse it off thoroughly, but that also means it can work well in lieu of a separate shaving gel, which I appreciate. I like the mild citrusy scent. I smell it while I am using it but it doesn’t linger overly after being rinsed off. I used that generic yellow salicylic acid cleanser for a long time and this is much nicer without being overly pricey. I would say it compares very favorably with other more high end cleansers I have tried in terms of quality and effectiveness, so it is a pretty good value.
