    Since mixing up my skin care routine, I'm happy to report that I get fewer blemishes. However, I still get hormonal breakouts and the "I-was-too-lazy-to-wash-my-face" breakout, so I figured I'd...

    This does not get rid of pimples overnight - well not all of them anyway! But I don't think it claims to. It's a good nightly spot treatment for pimples and for me seem quite effective at reducing...

    My Saving Grace in dark days of break outs! Wouldn't recommend to use it all over your face if you have many spots but it's a miracle worker when you need something to zap away a few occasional...

    I am unsure of what to make of this product....It dried out my tiny pimples but did not make them go away, still left a red mark which is healing up on it's own. I don't think it's a miracle worker...

    I've given this product chance after chance, and it does absolutely nothing for me. If I'm developing a pimple, I use a dab of of Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask, and just leave it on, and...

    This is a must-have for any girls with minor - medium acne. It does what it promises to do for pimples but not exactly for cyst-like, more severe acne. It drys up pimples, especially the little...

    I really like this product...I definitely recommend extracting the pimple/whitehead/blackhead first, then dab some on...and when you wake up...IT'S GONE! I've had a few that 2 nights, but it's...

    The stuff has been an absolute godsend for my face. Ever since I bought it, I haven't had to deal with a pimple for more than a day. It's pricey, but well worth it. It's easy to use too; dab it...

    This product seems kind of harsh, and I don't like that it's not clear-I like acne products that aren't embarrassing to have on your face. It's very thick and does not budge-but perhaps that's why...

    This did not work for me at all. That's really all there is to my review. If anything, it irritated my zits and dried out the surrrounding skin. It's mostly alcohol so no wonder. However, I do...

    This product has really been a huge helper for "that" time of the month. I have quite blemish-prone, combination skin that tends to get really dry and all flaky in the cheek-area. Based on good...

    I know this has worked so well for other people. I just don't know that it has done that much for me. It definitely dries the skin, though. It is fun to use!!
