My acquaintance

I became acquainted with this line of products in 2008, when my acquaintances, friends in misfortune, tried something new and dermatologists prescribed, in their opinion, a completely unique and best product for problem skin, which not only helped, but also brought tangible benefits in the treatment of acne. How right they were then.
Then I was skeptical about everything and didn’t really believe in the miracle of things, until in 2010 personal experience I'm not convinced that this is the best thing I've ever tried in my entire life. Even my favorite Exfoliak pales in comparison to the tenderness and softness of this brand. My skin fell in love from the first application. I found some kind of kinship of souls with this line and am still happy.
