Second time worked

First time I tried this, it felt like it did nothing. I shelved it until someone told me she used it regularly so I gave it another try. My skin looked better THE NEXT MORNING!

Oh I should mention that I usually forget to wash my face at night. (-scandal!-)

Great stuff though.

MYTH: Just becuase a cleanser doesn't FOAM doesn't mean it's ineffective. If it foams, it is alkaline-based, and will dry out your skin more quickly. Don't judge a cleanser by... (continue reading)
