    Didn't do anything for me! It smells, it's hard to store because it has to be upright and it burns when you apply it but didn't help my spots whatsoever. *EDIT* I tried this product again...

    I've been using this for several years, and I'm on mine 4th bottle. It won't clear your face overnight, but it does speed up the clearing process. It has always worked for me, until recently it...

    This product didn't seem to do anything for me. I used it three nights in a row and all it did was dry out my skin. It doesn't make a difference whether I use this or not. It's annoying to wash off...
