Review (2/5): Formula changed and now it is painful to have on
I have used it for a couple weeks now, so far I like it. It did make me break out in the beginning but I feel this is more the product drawing out all the junk in my pores, as this effect has died down and my pores are a lot more clear now. If this result remains then I will buy the product again!
Update:
I have continued to use it for a little over a month now and absolutely love it. As I suspected the initial small break out I experienced was just the product getting the junk out of my pores and it was only temporary. After using this product every day my face has been and stayed clearer than ever, my pores visibly smaller because they are not clogged which in turn has made my skin appear smoother. I have also experienced less hormonal break outs which is wonderful! The only concern I have is that I just re ordered it and the new bottle smells differently than the first bottle. The first bottle did not have a pleasant smell to it but that did not bother me as long as it did what it said. This new bottle smells more of peppermint and the non pleasant smell is no longer there. The increase in peppermint does cause my face to slightly tingle/burn. The bottles are the same as are the ingredients listed but clearly there is a different balance of ingredients in the new bottle. I hope this does not change the effectiveness of the product. So for right now I am going to keep it at 4 stars, if it continues to work I will up it to 5.
Another update: OK so the peppermint overload is seriously painful. There is a slight burning to the skin, thankfully I do not have sensitive skin so it doesnt leave my skin red or irritated but it is painful while the product is on my face. Also it makes my eyes red and they water constantly while it is on my face....Seriously bummed out because I really liked the effectiveness of the product. If you have sensitive skin I would not recommend this.....I have since dropped my rating from 4 stars to 2. It is still keeping my pores clear so it does still work.
