  6. Well I think that mine works well because I use it religiously. If I skip even one night, I have the tendency to break out the next day... which kind of scares me, but that just makes me remember every night. Weird thing though: it doesn't work past it's expiration date. So check that out.

    My skin gets kind of dried out by it too, but I just moisturize in the morning and everything is fine.
