I did not actually see a change in my acne when I used this product. I was prescribed it along with a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash (which I didn't use because I don't react to it) upon my first dermatologist visit, and used it for about a month and a half. It was the only change in my routine. I definitely think it's worth a try, though. I had no worsening of my breakouts, and the product itself did not bleach anything that I owned whatsoever (I have a black comforter + pillowcases!) and it was actually moisturising enough to use alone on my dry skin. I'm not giving it 5 stars since I saw no improvement in my acne, but I can't give it a low rating because it also didn't worsen. x
