Rated 1 out of 5 by from Made my skin so much worse My skin was in an okay place with the occasional breakout here and there, especially right before my menstrual cycle. I decided to try this product as saw many good reviews for it. It has been 4 weeks and my skin has never looked worse. I have lots of small pus filled white heads and bumps on my cheeks and forehead and a few very painful deep seated cysts as well which I never had before.
