I have had skin problems since my teenage years, and even though I am now 35+, impurities can still pop up. I took Lyko's skin test and was recommended Elixir's products. Acticlear was not part of the recommendation, but I supplemented the routine with this as I really like the other products. Acticlear has truly worked wonders for my skin; the pores are smaller, the skin is clearer and more balanced; no more shiny forehead in the afternoons. I have also dabbed a little extra on when I noticed a breakout was on the way, and then the breakouts have subsided. Well worth the money - the product is also economical, so it lasts a long time.

I bought this since Niactil 4% was supposed to be discontinued and replaced. I now see that Niactil has made a comeback and I definitely understand why. This one is not in the same league but works well as a backup when other products run out. No wow factor though like the experience with Niactil. Moisturizes nicely, but you get very shiny in the face, you can kind of see the boundary on the forehead where this is applied and your normal skin. I like glow but not shine. Won't buy again.

Favorite moisturizer!
