Wow!
Guys, what can I say? I have oily skin prone to acne, but I have been suffering for years mainly with acne on my back, chest, and shoulders (during my teenage years, a few years ago, it was even cystic). I was using Cerave Sa and it was doing a great job (face-back), and because I simply love salicylic acid, I decided to buy it without expecting much.
I simply loved it! My pimples have disappeared, when you wash your skin with this, you immediately feel your finger gliding on your face (because it makes the skin smooth due to exfoliation) and what impressed me the most is that it made my relatively dull skin glow! I noticed the same on my body, my shoulders are glowing! I saw a big difference in acne marks that I had, as well as blackheads on my nose that wouldn't go away with anything and disappeared with this cleanser! It is very important that what it claims to prevent the reappearance of imperfections is true because if I stop using it for a few days, for example on my back, suddenly acne doesn't come out. I feel that it has helped a lot in preventing them from reappearing.
Like all cleansers, you need to moisturize afterwards (on the face, on the body, I didn't have a problem, but if you want, you can also use it there), but one day when I forgot, I didn't notice any particular dryness, while with others, I see it immediately and I can't even move my face!
So, I would recommend it to someone with combination oily skin, but also to someone with dull skin. However, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is constantly in the sun. Because it contains salicylic acid and LHA, it is a MUST to use sunscreen every day and to be careful in general, as they make the skin more sensitive to the sun, especially now in the summer, those of us who use it on the body should be careful with sun exposure.
The only "negative" thing is that I would prefer it not to have Menthol (what leaves the cooling sensation) and mint fragrance because personally, I consider them unnecessary, but they don't bother me at all! On the contrary, I really like the sensation it leaves, especially after exercising and now in the summer, after all, it lasts only a few seconds.
Update 6/6/2022 (1+ year after the first review):
Reading my previous review, I have to say that my enthusiasm for this product has not faded! I have bought it again and again, at some point it ran out and because the acne on my back had calmed down, I didn't rush to buy it. A little bad diet, a little stress, a little heat and sweat, my back and chest showed pimples. With the use of this product, I immediately saw results! I feel my skin smooth, all the pimples calmed down with 2-3 uses and after 1-2 weeks, they have greatly diminished and the ones that remain are completely dehydrated (my skin is not at all). When I see that I have a problem, I give it a good massage and leave it on for at least 1 minute because if I rinse it off in 2 seconds, I won't see a difference! I have also used this product when I had pimples from shaving and it helped A LOT! Thank you for reading my review, this is my personal experience. I hope you have the same results if you decide to buy it, and if not, I'm sure you will find something that will help you!
