It leaves my face feeling refreshed and I noticed my breakouts calming down within hours

I love this for the AM when I’m too lazy to wash my face. I also use this after a workout. I notice a difference overnight with the size of my pores and blemishes. The nozzle also provides a wide “spray” covering larger portions of the face.
I was shocked at how effective this was. Highly recommended for breakouts!

Another favorite for cystic acne. The micro darts are super effective
