Promising reviews: "Wow! I have dry, acne-prone skin, and after being prescribed retinol and clindamycin, along with getting an ear piercing, my skin improved but I began breaking out in places I never had before. I bought this product to use in the morning instead of clindamycin, and my skin has been clear for two months. I use it after washing my face, followed by a hydrating serum or moisturizer and sunscreen (I apply retinol or Good Genes at night). I haven’t experienced maskne, my acne cleared up, and I have no complaints. Even though I have a new ear piercing, this product’s description indicated it is safe/helpful for new piercings/helps promote healing. I haven’t had any irritation even though the spray occasionally reaches my ear. It does have a chlorine scent at first, but it fades quickly. This spray is magic!" —spokanecf
