    This did nothing for me. It didn't get rid of any pimples I had, and was extremely overdrying. I threw it away. I prefer the Buffering Lotion or Perricone Acne Treatment gel.

    this cream does its job for me. it's more gentle than products containing benzoyle peroxide and reduces redness. I apply it at night and in the morning my pimples are less sore and less big. ...

    I suggest using this after the MB buffering lotion. It heals big zits pretty quickly. It can easily rub off, so put it on NO LATER than 30 min BEFORE you go to bed. The sample jar of this stuff...

    This product is pretty good in my book. This works if you have mild acne, not cystic or nodule acne. This smells like cigarettes but I gotten used to it. It doesn't burn or irritated by using...

    I'm not happy about this one. It is supposed to help with little bumps that havent surfaced but it hasnt done anything. It STINKS and feels heavy.

    Doesn't seem to do anything to either deep or surface pimples. Use the buffering lotion for the former and the drying lotion for the latter and skip this cream. Wasn't drying for me, as it seems to...

    I am surprised that you guys have used this product for a concealer. I never thought of doing that, it does cover the "red" area well. I'm reviewing this after one use, and it's an okay product....

    This stuff is a waste of money. Mario Badescu has way better products that don't stain your sheets. One of my complaints is that this product never dries. Even if you put a very thin layer on -...
