I'm in my 50's, and annoyingly, still get breakouts (so ridiculous). I've started using this as part of my washing routine, and my skin feels better. I have very oily, but also sensitive, skin, so I've been using this with a scaled-down approach: I put a dab on a cotton ball, and "wash" my face that way, rinse, and then wash with my usual soap. (Baby soap; see the "sensitive skin" bit above.) It's too soon to know that this has totally "stopped" my breakouts, but everything's under control right now, and my skin does feel different.... it's smooth and not its usual oily self. It really feels great.
