This product works for me. I did not have any breakouts using this. It doesn't make my skin tight after wash and at some point it makes make skin look brighter but not necessarily it makes acne marks/dark spots fade. I really appreciate this product because aside from it is very affordable for its size, the first time I used this it didn't cause any breakout unlike my previous experiences of using new products its either breakouts happened and your skin will adjust and evetually acne will fade or will go worse.
