unfortunately did not work for me at all [SEP] when i first tried it for a few days i got some flaking on my skin i was not sure if it was due to this product or my skin was drying or allergic for some other reason so i stopped using for weeks and forgot about it then recently i started trying it again and after a few days i got some flaking on my skin again so i am pretty sure it is this product maybe the flaking is due to the exfoliating action i have no idea but the flaking skin is making it very hard to put makeup on since makeup make the flaking more obvious so i tried to return the product only to have find out that it is past the return window and i am stuck with bottle of this that i paid for and cannot use it my blackheads did not diminish nor did my pore shrink it just had no effect except causing flaking of my skin
