For those with combo/DRY skin, has it helped prevent or get rid of small acne or whiteheads? I want this as a moisturizer, yes, but it would be a plus

I found it didn't do much for whiteheads or black heads but it calmed down any irritation small acne gave me. It made my skin more even looking and smoother but there were still pimples on my face.

I have to balance mine out. I use this at night and another moisturizer during the day. Using this during the day (swapping the two) made my skin break out with acne (frustratingly common for me and I'm 47!). Using it at night seems to work the best for my skin type. Most moisturizers and many acid products make me break out but this one didn't. I think it really depends on your skin type. I love this stuff! By the way, it also worked really well removing the age spots on the back of my hands!

This is most definitely NOT a moisturizer! This is an acne cream that basically dries out the oils on your face. If you use it by itself, your face will be extremely dry and flaky (exactly what its supposed to do). I use it after washing my face, wait for it to dry, and then apply a facial moisturizer to avoid the flakiness.

Hi Patricia - Its basically a very good moisturizer. It doesn't have the ingredients or make promises about any kind of treatment. It does seem to make my skin tone appear more even. Hope this helps!

I use it in place of another wash. It's very creamy, and feels good when u massage it in your face. Sometimes I don't feel like it gets ALL of the makeup off, so i will do another round (I have very oily skin). Anyway, this is a great product, but if u r looking for something for acne, look at the jan Marini benzoyl peroxide topical treatment. It comes in a 5% and 10%. It works GREAT. I am 38 and and still get black and whiteheads sometimes. If I use this faithfully every night, it keeps me from breaking out. My aesthetician recommended it and I have found that it is much cheaper on Amazon than at the salon. Good Luck!

I use both this and this http://www.amazon.com/Hyaluronic-Acid-Serum-100-Pure/dp/B00B1MVA00/ref=pd_sim_bt_2 , otherwise I think it is somewhat drying on my skin, I have combo skin. This hyaluronic acid is great and inexpensive.

I have very light and thin skin, but I am not sure how it would work on others. I can't see how it would make any difference though, since it is organic and doesn't add any chemicals. It just is a good moisturizer.

I feel you have to use more than I like to get the coverage so I don't use it on a regular basis. It seems to dry my dry skin out even more. I do add moisturizer along with the CC because of the dry feel I get so perhaps that is why the coverage is only ok for me. Keep in mind I have very dry skin and spend most of my time in air conditioning which only adds to the problem. Hopefully I'll find a product one of these days that meets my needs, very dry skin, uneven skin tones, stays on and also self corrects all flaws!! I can dream!

Everyone's skin is so different, I really couldn't give you an honest answer. I have combo skin and I do have breakouts/rosacea and sensitive skin. This feels cool while applying and since it's water based, I wouldn't think it would cause more breakouts. The grapeseed/fruit stuff in this product is used to dry oily skin, so it may help your acne.

I have combination skin and it works well for me. The bottle says "deep-cleanses to leave even oily skin clean and fresh"

I have very dry skin but no acne. This also might make your skin peel. It makes mine peel if I use it daily.

Whatever the concentration, for my combination skin it is not so great that it causes peeling, I can use it everyday without looking like I just had a peel. It has a lot of aloe in it which helps too.

Start with the 10% and after you go through the product than move up to 12%. I have combo/oily skin and also sensitive to break out. This product works good for me. If you have a breakout that you messed with, this will sting a tad when it enters the poped zit. It is a acid- so if you sweat it off and it runs into your eyes it may also burn- so I apply before bedtime and it does not discolor my pillow cases.

I honestly didn't breakout when I used this which is why I loved it. If you broke out from using it then perhaps this product isnt for you :[ or maybe your skin is just adjusting to the product. Give it a couple weeks and if it doesn't go away then it's time to try something new.

I have adult acne and this helps a lot-not greasy at all, sinks right in(less is more, just a few drops)and dries matte. then I put moisturizer over it. my skin looks great!!!

I am using it on my face. My eczema came on suddenly and severely. Tried moisturizers, they didn't work. My face itched all night. But this calmed and moisturized right away. I'm in my 2nd day and my skin feels good. Am using a couple of times of day now but expect will decrease as it gets under control

My skin is oily/combination and I find it to be beneficial for my skin. I don't use it everyday. I use it about once every other day.
