    I have only tried a free sample of this, but would never purchase it. It is supposed to help reduce pimples, but I found it did nothing. For reference, I have fairly normal skin, and only get a...

    This is one acne-fighting product that I will happily repurchase. I thought that I was expecting too much from other spot treatments (PC BPO, Nelson's Acne Gel, Noxema Salicylic Acid toner) but now...

    The drying lotion did more for me and actually made my zits disappear. This only made the areas I applied it FLAKEY AND DRY. I had to apply some hardcore moisturizer after using this product.
