    I really wish I didn't waste my money on this product. It did absolutely NOTHING for my acne. It didn't cover it up, it didn't help heal my zits, it didn't do anything. I want to keep using it so I...

    Like others have stated, this stuff really is hit or miss. For some of my deep pimples, it helps clear them up beautifully. But for others, it has no effect. No idea why. One pro is that you do...

    Wasn't effective against my acne, but succeeded in drying out skin. The drying lotion works better.

    I use this for my cysts (the huge ones!) and put it on overnight, in about 5 days it'll be tiny which is really good because otherwise they take weeks or months to go away. For pimples this doesn't...

    I put some drying cream on at night with a cotton swab because this stuff stinks and dries out under your nails. I am already hating it because of the smell, how it rubs off on your pillow, and...

    Incredible stuff. My skin was red and blotchy from a few spots, and I hate wearing concealer. It feels like my skin can't breathe, and it's gross having a layer of paste on your face. Furthermore,...

    I am undecided about this product because it only works on some pimples. It works the best on the big pimples that rise up rather than any of the small whitehead pimples. It does nothing for white...
