I think it works good, but everyone is different. I use before bed every other day, if I use everyday it drys me out. My oldest uses every day and her skin isn't dry and looks good. Me and my girl only use neutrogena makeup and face/body wash, the makeup is great on ur skin and if u have issues with breakouts it helps using that makeup. So I guess it depends on ur skin. Sorry if that don't help. Fanned u!
