My Review
My review: This is a stellar product. For years I suffered from acne on my back and buttocks. Even the dermatologist’s remedies never worked, and the dermatologist told me to just accept it. But I was a girl with a mission to solve it. And i found this product. I started using it every morning in the shower and after the first week I noticed that the spots were already calmer and less red and after 3 weeks my bumps were completely gone! I already bought my second tube.
