I have heard sooooo many good things about this product so was soooo Keen to try it out. I’ve tried this twice now both times for a fortnight and I have now decided it is not the right product for me. I use products with salicylic acid in and never usually have a problem. However both times I’ve used this I have started it with bad skin hoping it would improve but it hasn’t it has got so much worse creating large painful boils- I initially thought it was my skin clearing out but continued every day and never got better. My skin has got so much better In 3 days from not using it! I also dislike how it goes on the face it is sticky and has a strange constancy. Sadly disappointed by my 2nd ordinary product :( I still have the nicinimade and squalane to try I hope there better or I won’t be trying anything else. 👎

sadielouskin Out of interest did you go out in the sun after? The acids can sometimes react causing this problem so they advise to wear an SPF after use
EllenS Sorry I’ve just seen this now. I used it in the evening and in morning had spf on so I think it just didn’t agree with my skin!
