Umm..honestly at first I wasn't too sure about using the product, but after having used it for 3 weeks now I'm definitely hooked! The product states: MicroClear? technology clears breakouts 100% naturally derived grapefruit extract With an uplifting blast of grapefruit plus vitamin c, this unique formula clears blemishes and blackheads. Gentle microbeads smooth away roughness without over-drying or irritation for healthier looking skin. AND IT'S TRUE IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS, DIDN'T IRRATE MY SKIN. ALL I DO IS USE IT TWICE A DAY DAILY (ONLY A DIME SIZE AMOUNT) ONCE IN THE MORNING ONCE AT NIGHT.
