Last week I tested this product out, using it twice a day as required. Note to self: Using it as directed tends to improve results. Who would have thought? In general, it tends to take a couple of weeks before you know exactly whether a product is effective or not, but my skin tends to react fairly quickly, so I kind of have the gist of whether it's a good plan to stick to by the end a week.
So, after religious use of the product, I found it fairly decent, but I wouldn't buy it again, or use it to completion (there's about half the bottle left between my initial use and last week's trial). It foams up fabulously, but I felt as though all the foaming caused it to lose a lot of contact with the skin, which could possibly result in a lack of effectiveness. I am hardly a skincare specialist, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm frequently not).
Now, an interesting thing that it did do was to clear up this small cluster of barely visible pimples that was breeding at the side of my forehead, which is fantastic. But it didn't get rid of the two main problems I was targeting, i.e. the big pimples at the side of my mouth and on my neck which have now been there for about 4 weeks, and are refusing to go away. They seem to have melded themselves to my skin and taken up residence. If they bring their friends, I'm going for plastic surgery.
Another problem with this product is that it doesn't prevent new pimples from forming. Towards the end of last week, another pimple formed on my jawline, which is annoying me no end naturally. Go away!!!
Other than that, this product also does nothing for blackheads. By nothing, I mean nothing. It doesn't loosen them, doesn't remove them, doesn't prevent them. Blah.
Overall, I'd give this a 2.5/5. It's alright for a daily cleanser because it's not too drying, and it doesn't cause additional problems. But it's really not something you would use if you want flawless skin or prevention.
