    I bought this in DC when the humidity turned me into a hideous breakout monster that no one would take to the prom. I'd read somewhere that Liv Tyler uses it, and since I have a major crush on her...

    I used two bottle of this. It does help drying my acne. I was going to buy my third bottle of it. However, I bought the Bye Bye Blemish instead, It is cheaper and works great too.

    A lot of people know that using calamine and camphor can help calm and dry up an aggravating pimple. These two ingredients and a few others in this bottle (colloidal sulfur, salicylic acid) work...

    This stuff is great for clearing up white-heads. Keep in mind that this stuff isn't made to clear up all acne....it's best on inflamed pimples. I would definitely recommend it to others and buy...

    Works extremely well for whiteheads, but not so well for cysts. Those are primarily the types of breakouts I get, so I am thrilled that this will take care of at least one type of my breakouts. I...

    Seems to me that this product works best for: older people; people with non-cystic acne; and people whose skin isn't too dry. I've got combination skin, and this stuff clears them up within a day...

    I love this stuff! My mother, brother and I all use it. It's meant to dry out your pimple, so everyone that says it leaves your skin flakey, that's because it's meant to. It's not too bad of a...

    4 stars because this stuff doesn't ALWAYS make breakouts disappear. If I have a cystic pimple, it will take a few nights for it to shrink the pimple. It is important to catch the pimple in its...
