I received a free sample of this product from my dermatologist. I had been reluctant to purchase it because it was so very unglamorous. However, it has been a godsend to my combination skin. I very rarely break out, and when I do it is much less severe than it used to be, and I don't use any acne medications. I used to think that I needed to use harsh cleansers to clean the oil from my skin, but in fact, those harsh cleansers strip your skin so severely they increase oil production. No other product makes my skin as soft and smooth. It's also perfect for delicate areas such as your decolletage and feminine regions, and cleans makeup without irritating skin or eyes.When I want to exfoliate a few times a week I use Cetaphil with a teaspoon of sea salt. Works like a charm.
