When I first tried out the cleanser in combination with the tonic, I had had an issue with breakouts for about 4-5 months. After just a week of usage in addition with one beta hydroxy product, my enjoying breakouts stopped. I read about AHA and Beta hydroxy acids and decided to try out the products and to my amazement, they worked. Now I added the AHA moisturizer to my routine to moisturize my skin as well, My pores also look more closed than before. I look forward to continuing great result from using AHA products.
