    i actually like this a lot! apply it on anywhere with zits or bumps and it'll eventually vanish off within 2-3 days, some smaller zits within 2 days max! however some of those bumps underneath took...

    Was hoping for a miracle solution for my cystic acne with this product when I first saw this on youtube and MUA. I get huge bumps deep beneath the surface of the skin on my face, usually on my...

    This isn't a "miracle" product for me, but it does work well now that I've figured out how to use it. It does nothing for those under-the-skin pimples for me, so I use it on pimples that have come...

    I have a problem, and it's not acne. It's picking at the one or two pimples I get a month (which causes scabs and bacteria spreading) which as we know makes it heal A LOT slower and can causes more...

    I've used this product for about two months. Verdict: it's just not for me. MB's drying lotion murdered the texture of my skin: it turned dry, rough, and flaky all at the same time. I get...

    This stuff is amazing for my skin! It doesn't stop blemishes from forming, but it makes them so much less noticeable, and they go away much faster. My roommates probably think I'm crazy every...

    First of all, I'll start with the fact that before I started using this, my skin was suffering from horrible break outs. I'm a picker, I pick at my whiteheads until it starts to bleed. Yes I know,...

    I purchased this in the hopes that it would help clear up some of my whiteheads. Unfortunately, it did the opposite -- it really irritated my skin and made my spots swell to twice the size and...

    After hearing of this product for many years, I finally gave it a try. It inflamed the acne. One pimple was more than double the size, and extremely tender, the day after using this. I will not...

    I can see the difference it makes for my skin. It is by far the best spot treatment I have used - it works especially well for small pimples. However, it's got Talc as one of its ingredients... :(

    It gets rid of pimples fast, although it does leave red scars. It can be too drying for people with dry to combination skin types. Also, if you have sensitive skin, the pink stuff at the bottom...
