    Obviously, the whole sticking-your-fingers-in-the-tub thing doesn't really work, especially because this is an acne treatment and shouldn't have extra bacteria added. I've found that toothpicks...

    First of all, the packaging sucks. I agree with what everyone else says -should come in a tube. I hate sticking my fingers into a product tub. I have started using Qtips for this, but then you get...

    It does smell, but I don't mind it at all. I dab some and apply it thinly. Because of the color, it does conceal slightly on my skin tone, which is a plus. I think the thing is to not apply too...

    A pretty good drying cream if you are looking to get rid of the tiny bumps on you forhead. The product is in a jar, which is not the most sanitary thing, but otherwise it's a good product to use...

    This is great under makeup to treat blemishes and conceal at the same time. I have used one jar and am on my 2nd. Best spot treatment on the marked IMO!
