I also don't use it if there's nothing wrong with my skin. Only on major breakouts or blackheads. I'm sure if you were to glob a bunch on your skin three times a day that bad effects will occur. 0h h3ll n0 Posted at 10:31 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from ChemicEmotions at 6:24 am on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from 0h h3ll n0 at 12:21 am on Jan. 5, 2009 Lol, I don't read Cosmo.
