At first i was skeptical using it alone so i had waited until i received Joan's new release with Neogen. On top of that I saw the video that was advertise for this product that the girl used the miracle bar with the toner. I have DEFINITELY seen a visible difference. I have had acne scars since i was in highschool and i'm nearing the end of my university term. I used to just use facial scrubs, til i learned facial scrubs can cause micro scarring. Thus I took a chance with this toner since AHA/BHA/PHA were chemical exfoliates. My skin used to build up extra oil and feel as though it still had dead skin build up on my face, despite using a facial scrub every now and then with a daily cleanser. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.
