I originally bought this to try and deal with the bumps I assumed were whiteheads on my forehead. Turns out they were a reaction to a nut allergy so it didn't help for that. As well as I found it to be too drying for my face. However, for the last couple of years I have been getting clogged pores on my upper back, mostly in the summer. This worked absolute miracles to clear my back up! 2 or 3 times a week I apply it after a shower and voila I can finally wear a backless dress again.
