I had heard that hydroquinone was pretty good for fading both scars and red spots from acne. Porcelana was a suggested product so I bought it. I started using it at night and a few days later I started to break out really bad. Now granted, I break out from a lot of things, but this is only the second moisturizer I've ever broken out from. I stopped for a couple days and it started to clear up (I use Proactiv). I started using Porcelana again ... and started breaking out again. So I'm finally stopping and pretty much see it as a waste of $13 (after shipping). It's very thick and heavy, so I'm not surprised it was somehow clogging my pores. It normally takes 3 months to see any signs of improvement, but for me it isn't worth breaking out when I'm using the product to try to get rid of acne scars ... and all it's doing is causing more.
