As someone with combination skin and a mild case of recurrent milia, I've tried quite a few products out there, including very expensive ones, and ones recommended by dermatologists. This stuff is great--I've used it for about a week and the result is that my skin is far less bumpy and more smooth after. It's definitely a touch harsh in that it helps your skin turn over faster, so the areas where I had a breakout scabbed up and fell off over night, resulting in smoother skin afterwards. There's no real perfume or added scent, other than the scent of the glycolic cleanser itself, which smells mildly medicinal. I recommend this for anyone, especially women in their 30's with cystic acne or an uneven texture to their skin. My skin glows after using, especially when I use it with the clarisonic brush.
