have been using for about a month 1/2 now, it helps with my sebaceous filaments as well as has improved my skin texture and softness. however, be careful if you are super acne prone as it may break you out. i havent broken out personally [though it brings my pimples to the surface a bit, but this personally makes it easier for me to apply patches and then they will go away], but my cousin used it [inconsistently] for a few weeks, and it brought his acne to surface level and broke him out worse than me so be careful!
