    Although this doesn't work miracles (I have combination skin) it does seem to visibly reduce my spots overnight. Although I don't have acne I do get an occasional breakout especially after waxing....

    Super stuff. I rarely have break outs, but when I do I immediately reach for this. Every time I've used it, by morning the pimple was gone. My teenage nieces love it too. So much so they are always...

    From what I have read here, most people are using this product incorrectly. If you have cystic acne, you should not be using the drying lotion, but you should be using the Buffering Lotion. The...

    This stuff is great!! Whenever I get a bad inflammed pimple I just put this on at night and it would take the red out almost immediately and the zit would be gone in just 2-3 days.

    I love this stuff. I'm on my second bottle and each bottle lasted a year for me. I have relatively clear skin, but every once in a while I'll break out with big pink inflamed bumps in my T-zone. ...

    This product didn't really do too much. It helps only certain pimples. I usually have big and inflamed ones and it didn't help them at all. Actually, I put this on small bumps that i thought were...

    This is a great secret weapon. Putting a little on at night either just one night or two in a row will dry up any zit. I have awful reactions to benzoyl peroxide and anything with too much...

    I love this product! I usually don't break out much, but when I do this kills the pimple overnight. It does dry out my skin, but I don't mind since the pimple is gone!
