What the gurus are saying
The gurus who weighed in on this brand are not fans. They flag the drying lotion specifically as problematic, point to fragrance as an unnecessary irritant in formulas meant for sensitive or acne-prone skin, and note the brand has lost momentum in recent years. One expert also raised concern about steroid inclusion in some products, which raises questions about appropriate long-term use. There is not much consensus to build on yet, so if you are considering this brand, it may be worth exploring alternatives that dermatologists tend to recommend more readily.
