Using this has completely cleared up my acne-prone skin, and seems to have made the difference in diminishing red marks and little scars from prior breakouts. My skin positively glows besides. I was only using it for a matter of days before I noticed the difference. Cellex C is well worth the high price tag (and if you think about how long it lasts, it's a little easier to bear). I've tried a lot of things (Creme de la Mer, Neova Blue Copper cream) and this seems to be the one thing that lives up to its hype.
