The cream was okay. I was using this at the same time as the Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector and I wonder if the dermal repair cream helped in terms of preventing my skin from getting irritated. I can’t say I noticed much of a difference and the rate of my acne production did not change by much (I assumed that by fixing my skin barrier, I would have less acne). I do think if you are working on your skin barrier, there are cheaper alternatives that can be used to achieve the same result.
