I've been using this for the last month or so, and I really like it. It is effective yet gentle, and the best part: it's much, much more affordable than other BHA products out there, some of which aren't even as well formultaed as this one. Be aware, as this is a chemical exfoliator, some purging (whiteheads) may occur in the first few weeks if this is your first time using BHA. But it should stop soon, and you'll be left with soft skin without as many blackheads :)
