I used to have clogged pores and red pimples (not really acne, just LOTS of separate pimples) all over my face until I started using this along with some good hydrating/moisturising layers. This works like magic at preventing future breakouts. My skin is totally clear, smooth and bright aside from maybe 2 hormonal pimples once a month. It's also:

• super gentle and doesn't dry my skin out at all
• no irritation and no purging, the pimples just stopped coming back.
• Has no smell either!
• Lasts forever, been using every 2-3 days for a few months and have barely made a dent
