As a long-time acne sufferer - yes, I still get the occasional breakout in adulthood - I have tried everything. While I had originally purchased this years ago, I didn't really give it a fair shot when it did not immediately compare to all of the crazy chemicals I was usually rubbing all over my skin. When I became pregnant, and my skin decided to act like I was 16 again, I was a bit more hesitant to use those harsher cleansers and gave this another try. I will never go back. This leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, and not stripped of all moisture. It also works quite well to combat breakouts.
