I bought this to maintain my acne prone skin. I've gone from breaking out daily to a handful of breakouts a month and this seemed like a serum that would help sooth skin and provide some antioxidant goodness. The first few uses of this product were ok, the smell is very herbal but it didn't leave a film on my skin and absorbed completely in a couple minutes. Then Day 4 of using this I had two whiteheads on my jaw later in the day after using this in the morning. I used it again that night, thinking the breakouts were just from the grime of the day but this time it stung my skin. I rinsed it off and woke up to a few more whiteheads. I waited a few days until my skin calmed down and patch tested this near my jaw line again and sure enough another breakout was there by morning. I loved the ingredients and texture, but it just didn't work for me. I took a chance based on the other reviews here and if you're thinking of trying this product, do it! Dermstore has a great return policy so there's nothing to lose.
