I have acne prone skin, large pores and oily on T zone, this didn't irritate or flaked my skin, and I noticed less breakouts (been using it for a month) very gentle yet effective. At first I was puzzled about no feeling my skin "clean enogh" (stripped) but now I understand I was using a very harsh tone previously.I repurchased this because it actually made a difference in my skin. But be warned it won't be a one step wonder. You still need to cleanse and moisturize your skin.
