Hi there, so it's only been a couple weeks, but I am seeing a difference in my skin. My skin is extremely oily, sensitive, acne-prone, etc. I originally saw a dermatologist about Accutane, but she quickly made a case talking me out of that. Instead she said to give topicals a fighting chance first. So I haven't experienced extreme peeling, thank goodness. My skin is a lot less oily, smoother, and breakouts are occurring but clearing at a very rapid pace (literally within days). I do still have blackheads, and redness, but these are much more easily managed. My make up stays on longer and looks a lot better as well
