Comment:
At 52 my acne was worse than when I was in my teens! I was getting cystic acne on my chin and cheeks. Is would take weeks for them to clear up and then they left scars.

Comment:
Ziana left this sticky feeling on my face. And, it didn't help with my acne at all! I used about 3/4 of the tube before I finally gave up and threw it away. Waste of money.
