Surprisingly to me, I am not drying out at ALL. Well, maybe just a little as I've seen these tiny patches of flakyness on my skin in some areas. I LOVE the minty, fresh feeling on my face after I apply it all over. The smell is horrible, but I can deal.
What has shocked me the most about this product is how it has shrunk my pores down to almost invisible!!! INCREDIBLE. My cheeks are the worst part of my face where the pores are humungous. I have NEVER in my five years of acne seen my pores THIS invisible. It almost brings tears to my eyes (not the ones that the cream makes my eyes produce, lol). I'm hoping that my pores shrink more and more as I continue using it. Another thing is my acne!! It's looking better and better. I even got a compliment from my own dad this morning about how good it's looking! (he has never been able to compliment my skin being that it is as horrible as it is). My skin is a LOT smoother, especially my forehead where there use to be COUNTLESS comedos, whiteheads, pimples.. blah blah, you name it. And yet another thing is my oilyness; I swear, sometimes I feel like I have the worse case of oily skin of everybody. I'd say that by 2-3 hours after I wash my face everyday, my face would be the equvilent of 10 oily faces combined, no joke. It's terribly depressing. But with the ZZ cream on, I'm less oily/shiny.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to explode with acne any time now since that's what I've been reading will happen. But maybe not... since I already have two weeks of using XFML under my belt? But I'm not thinking about it right now. All I'm thinking about at this moment is how happy I feel. I can't stop starring at my face in the mirror!! I've never been able to do this

Quick question for whoever can answer this: will my results be faster being that I'm able to apply ZZ cream to my face twice a day, nearly everyday?
Prom is just over a month away, and I'm hoping to God my face clears up enough to where I feel somewhat confident. Anyway, I just thought I'd share
