    This spot treatment didn't work for me. The bump was still the same size after about 2-3 nights of using this. It only made it turn pinker than usual. And it smells SOOO strong like a medicine....

    Total waste of money. Instead of removing my pimple, it only made it worse by inflaming it. Never buying again.

    love love love this product! Made the mistake of buying the buffering lotion instead, because I read that it was good for cystic acne. It was terrible and I will definitely be sticking with this...

    Good product. I'm the type of person who always has white heads on her forhead that just won't go away easily. This product did not work at first it actually made the pimple bigger the first 2 days...

    if you have the odd spot here or there then this is an absolute godsend.. I don't think it would be a solution to acne/frequent spots. I used to use aloe vera, but stopped that once i found this!...

    Well, I bought this two days ago. I know, I know this is kinda a premature wish. But, it claims to get the zit off your face overnight, That did NOT happen at all. IT didn't even do anything to my...

    Unfortunately, after several overnight uses, I don't think this product has caused much of an improvement in acne. It dried out my skin, and did seem to dry up a few blemishes at first, but so far...

    I went to my local department store in search of a holy grail item. As I circled around the counters, I found myself drawn to a brand I had never heard of before, Mario Badescu. So I purchased this...

    I heard about this product on TV as the pink pimple lotion, so I googled it and my internet pulled this product up and I knew this was it! So I review where to get it, I found it at my local ULTA...

    Like similar sulfur treatments that I have used in the past, this works fantastically for me. I have moderate acne, but my pimples are not cystic, rather they are white heads and smaller red zits....

    This dries out my tiny pimples, but it doesn't do anything for the ones that I really want to shrink. It can also burn my skin and make even the small pimples look worse sometimes. I'd say it's...
