This form of the preparation ensures cleanliness and freshness of the skin, reduces its excessive shine and helps maintain optimal pH.

Reviews about Delex-Acne

The preparations of this series can be combined with make-up products, they have a pleasant smell and cope well with post-acne manifestations. Many users do not like the high cost of Delex-Acne, and some argue that the funds in their case were useless.
