It clears blackheads, or very much improves them with one use! If you have mild, non hormonal acne, but you want an extra clarifying effect or feel a breakout beginning, this is very effective! Use as a mask 2x a week or as a cleanser 3x a week.
This can be incredibly stripping. Recently I used it as a 2 minute mask after I noticed breakouts coming on from a reaction to makeup. It stopped them in their tracks. I then used it two more nights as a cleanser. I use a mandelic acid serum and adapalene and combined with this it was too much and caused redness and irritation on my resilient skin. Thinking about it, I would not reccomend anyone use this more than 4x a week as a cleanser even with no actives in their routine.
