    I love this product. I love how it makes whiteheads disappear in 24hours. I hate how it's pink and smells. I also hate how my husband makes fun of me because I have pink dots all over. But I...

    I really like this acne product. Its more like a spot treatment since you apply it directly to the blemish. I had big cystic like acne around my jaw and when I would wear this at night I would...

    This product does not really do anything for acne. The only it does; it dries out your skin horribly. I only bought this because a youtube reviewer said it was a wonder product but it wasnt. Will...

    Does a good job of bringing down pimple size and some inflammation overnight. Do not use all over your face or wherever, it is a waste of an expensive product and will irritate skin that is not...

    This stuff does help with pimple size a little. It's not a miracle worker by any means but it does shrink the size of it a bit. The worst part of it though is that it BURNS LIKE HELL. Camphor +...

    I've used acne products for 15+ years (I have PCOS). Drying lotion is, bar none, the best stuff I've ever used. Don't let the price scare you-buy it!
