To be very fair, this was very moisturizing, controlled oil almost immediately, and made my skin feel smooth.
Broke me TF out. Gave me massive patches of cystic acne all up and down my jawline that made it painful to lie down. And they went sooooo deep. Like literally nothing would bring them to a head, not even acne patches. I had one get so infected that it took out a quarter size patch of skin. Like just decimated my skin. At first I thought it could just be purging, I know that happens and retinol takes some time to see benefits. I waited. Damn near 8 weeks. And the entire time my face just hated me. My mask resting against my face ached. I'm never doing retinol again. I don't think it has anything to do with this product but everything to do with retinol. Derma e is a good brand in general so I really doubt it was something wrong with the product itself and everything to do with my skin bein a lil bitch.
