text: At first I started using this every evening. I found that it was too strong for my face even when combined with their vitamin C serum and retinol cream. Then I decided to lessen my usage to once a week. It seems to be less harsh for my face doing so. It does clean well and my skin feels great after. I guess it could be a plus that I only use it once a week, that way the bottle will last a lot longer. Also, the little beads don’t dissolve so if you don’t rinse your face thoroughly, the beads can get caught in your eyelashes and go into your eyes.
