works best if used consistently
I love using this treatment right after I apply a low pH toner. I let it sit for 15-20 minutes to fully absorb and work its magic before I apply serums and moisturizers. With consistent use, I have found that it helps me gently exfoliate skin so that my other products absorb better. When used daily, I combine this with gentle scrubs and light manual extractions to keep my skin mostly free of blackheads. I wouldn't say that this is a cure all for people who have severe acne and acne scarring but it does help to a degree. I use this by alternating this treatment fluid with the AHA fluid. This formula is gentle enough for daily use and doesn't sting when applied to the skin as opposed to the AHA fluid.
