Fragrance

Kinship I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to purchase this product, IF it weren't for the FOUR different fragrant essential oils! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider launching a fragrance free version of this product or reformulating without these ingredients? This ingredient list is so, so, so good and I would love to spend my had earned money on it, the only thing holding me back are those oils!

Doesn't work...

For me at least. I've been using this for about 2 months because I all of a sudden started breaking out when I've never had that problem before in my 30 years on this earth! I got this in a sub box for my daughter because she has acne, but after I started getting pimples, which I don't understand and am kinda freaking out about btw! I've been using this every morning and every night and sometimes during the day as well and I don't see it helping out at all. I use other skincare products so it's hard to tell which one would be helping if that were the case but I just don't find that this spot treatment helps my pimple. But I started using this on my daughter a few weeks ago so we'll see if it does anything to help her acne, so far I haven't seen any big changes unfortunately. I don't think I would repurchase though, it just doesn't seem worth it when I'm not seeing any results :( I understand that it can take time for products to start working but using this every day twice a day for this long without anything happening is a no from me.

I have had chin acne for about a year now, nothing I used made it go away. Started using this TWO days ago and it is about 80% clearer already
