As someone who has always struggled with things such as blackheads and very open pores I would like to gladly confirm that this is in fact worth the hype for me. I have struggled with oily skin and was diagnosed with light psoriasis since my early teens which has always been tough on me and my confidence however since using this my skin has had such a transformation without suffering the consequences of irritation. It may not be for everyone however I can confirm that this is definitely for me and is always worth a shot if you have some money spare. This did not trigger my psoriasis as stated and did provide my pores some type of magical appearance as they looked smaller while also clearing up some of my excess oils without completely stripping them away.
