Honestly I've tried high end/mid range and low end products all claiming to do the job but cos rx actually delivers. I swear by this brand now. Solid results and good price. Really impressive stuff. Hope they never change. I have combination dry/acne prone skin and mild facial psoriasis. I'd recommend this brand to anyone who needs something that really does the job. No I'm not being paid or writing this review in exchange for free products etc.
