For a few years (I'm 43, Irish, German mix) I've been plagued with forehead and chin bumps and whiteheads. Sometimes even deep, nasty bumps. I picked up a trial size of Loreal daily (I've tried no-names which made me peel) and within a week, the acne was gone and my face is smoother. I am soooo jazzed. No peeling, but I only use it at bedtime. The lotion is really more of a mask. It does not work under make-up, it just comes up, like peeling paint. I don't use the lotion on my cheeks, just the problem areas. I've used it for two months now and no adverse reactions. I wash with the cleanser for one minute, and then rinse and use the two other products. For now, they have a loyal customer.
