Review: Miracle skin saver - I’ve struggled for YEARS with acne-prone, oily skin, trying product after product with little to no success — until I found this gem! 🌟 From the first few uses, I noticed my skin felt smoother and less congested, and within a couple of weeks, my breakouts were visibly fewer and my pores looked cleaner and smaller. This exfoliant has truly been a miracle for my skin — it unclogs pores, controls oil, and helps keep future acne at bay. My complexion now looks clearer, calmer, and more balanced than it has in such a long time. I also love that it’s lightweight and absorbs beautifully without feeling sticky or harsh. Highly recommend to anyone with oily, acne-prone skin! 💛✨

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GLOW UP within a month!
*by A***H on April 29, 2021*

I rarely write reviews because I don’t come across a lot of products that I am blown away. But if you can tell by my comparison photo, I’ve made PRETTY DRASTIC improvements with my skin within a month! So I had to share my thoughts and experiences! I used the product every night before bed with a cotton ball for about a month now. To give you some background, I played college tennis 10 years ago. I was out in the sun all the time for practice. I have hyperpigmentation, large pores, oily face, fungal acne/bumps, and acne scars. Ive had it all. I also hated putting on sunscreen back then because I hate the oily texture of sunscreen with sweat mixed together so I was taking in UVA/UVB at full strength with beaming rays in warm SoCal sun for many many years. Fast forward 10 years, I’ve been pretty religious with skincare since graduating college because I realized that I’ve done huge damage to my skin. I made progress during those 10 years with consistency, but there were still some room for improvements as you can see in the photo. With age, I started seeing some wrinkles under my eyes and and on my forehead as well. I started getting all serious about skincare again a month ago by revisiting my usual selections to see what I can introduce into my routine. I found this product on YouTube, some blog post, and then Amazon. Decided to take a stab with the huge amount of reviews. BEST DECISION EVER! I saw changes within a few days of use! Skin started getting smoother and then pores looked somewhat smaller. After some improvements the first week, I did not see drastic improvements again till week 3. Started seeing changes in hyperpigmentation and smoothness of my skin. Also my wrinkles have somewhat faded under my eyes and forehead. Please note, I did try using it twice a day, but my skin started getting very flaky and sensitive. I think I broke out a little bit too so I had to go back to just once per day. I’d like to add, purging period is part of the process. Don't panic. Just be patient and you will see results. As they say, no pain no gain. I never thought I’d be here in a month with all of the pre-existing skin issues I had, but I can confidently say I am confident in my own skin at 33! This is probably the best skin I’ve ever had! I can finally feel confident makeup free. When I do put on makeup, I don’t have to put on multiple layers of makeup or strategically use concealer to cover up the uneven texture or blemishes. Also my skin looks like it radiates through my makeup now. I saw someone say in the comments here how it’s like having instagram filter IRL. I totally agree. I don’t need no instagram filter! It’s called real life glowy skin! To add to the usage of this product, I also did make a switch in my routine by adding Cetaphil Purifying Clay Mask. I used the clay mask every other day. So it could be a combination of reasons for these results. But I think my comparison photo speaks for itself - Please give it one month of consistent use. Be consistent and you will see huge results! Hope that helps :)
