    I have to say this is an AMAZING product. I use it on my cystic acne and white heads and it reduces the size of them overnight and sometimes even takes them away.

    I love this product because: A. It dries up pimples and B. It's a great spot concealer for when you don't want to wear makeup because it's tinted. I would def buy again!
