just no
It ONLY worked on my dry spots on my face. It did reduce the redness but then I tried it on an old scar/wound because i had a flare up and the scar came right back with the inflammation.

Helped Heal Hormonal Acne
Im 37 and been struggling with hormonal acne- primarily on my chin, jawline and neck- for the past year. After trying dozens of products that didn't work, i decided to try a sulfur based treatment. After applying my serums, I use the cloudburst moisturizer by Earth Harbor, and then I use this drying lotion on my trouble zones every night as the final step. After about a week of this routine, my acne has cleared up soooo much! I still get a tiny bit of congestion on my jawline, but this has reduction pimple flare ups more than anything id previously tried. This is a great product! Kate Summerville also makes a product like this, but the ingredients are almost identical, and this is half the price. Im already on my 2nd bottle.
