    Did nothing good for me... I really wanted to like it. It helped clear up my friend's acne spots over night, but I guess this wasn't a great fit for me. I daubed this onto about 3-4 spots. They...

    I love this stuff! At first I was hesitant because I saw how it was supposed to be used and thought it was too much effort just to apply it. Well, it works. It doesn't get rid of the pimple over...

    I love this product!!! It is the best spot treatment I have used and i have tried many. It heals whiteheads or blemishes over night and reduces the redness. Love it!

    I'm on my second bottle of this stuff and it's the best. Like others have said, it won't work on some of the real nasties, like cysts, but it will reduce the size of a normal zit within hours. I've...

    I absolutely can not figure out for the life of me how this product does not have a 5 star rating across the board. It is such an absolute staple in my clear skin arsenal. The stuff works... WELL.

    This really speeds up the drying of pimples and the size reduction time. It does not work for those big, swelling, none puss-filled types of pimples most of the time though, I mean it doesn't make...
