It took about 1-2 weeks and consistent use to see really big changes! I absolutely LOVE this liquid exfoliation to create korean glass skin on the face. I know the website says its more for oily/combination skin but TRUST me when i say it can work for dry congested skin. The combination of having a ton of hydrating/humectant ingredients really help offset the dryness that can accompany exfoliation. Diet wise, I limit the amount of refined carbohydrates, sugars, and oily foods to keep my acne at a minimum. I get so many compliments on my skin without having to use any extra glow boosting makeup products! Follow for more hollistic beauty options! @Alpyn Beauty
