I ordered this item because of all the great reviews and because I have a lot of annoying blackheads and acne spots. Now I will start off by saying while I've been using this product everyday for the past 2 weeks I do only use it once a day instead of day and night like how you are supposed to so take my review with that in mind. I have dry sensitive flakey skin and I found that while this has a very strong chemical smell it does not irritate or burn my skin like a lot of other products tend to. It sinks into the skin nicely and I believe it has helped even my skin tone a bit, however I'm still having acne breakouts and my deep seated blackheads are still there. So I see a bit of an improvement in my skin overall, but I might look into trying something different once I've used all this product up.
