    It's very average, and in all honesty, overrated. I got better results using any type of typical, cheap $5 benzoyl peroxide gel in a 2.5% or 5% strength from a drugstore. On certain zits, the...

    Really helps cut down on healing time for really big zits. It really does have drying properties. It does smudge off and if you don't really wash your face in the morning it leaves behind the...

    This is FABULOUS for spot treatments. I don't think it prevents new pimples from forming, but it certainly makes the pimples you already have (or those that have already formed beneath the...

    This is a must have! I would NEVER be without this product. If you feel a zit coming on and you apply this the zit will NEVER surface. It goes bye, bye! In the daytime you can use the clear part on...

    This product burned my skin! It didn't have any effect on pimples but it did make my skin red and peel! Won't buy this again!

    I'm on my 2nd bottle. I have ultra sensitive skin and this doesn't bother it at all, partly because it's almost all calamine (sp) lotion, which is very soothing to irritated skin. This is a god...

    This product is great for drying whiteheads and pimples overnight. Apply this overnight, and you will wake up to a shrunken and dried up whitehead that is less swollen. Usually they will go away...

    This stuff is harsh but who cares--it works! At least for me it does. It gets rid of most zits overnight. I am on my 2nd bottle and I will continue to use this as a spot treatment!

    This is very gentle yet effective on my fussy skin. It works the best for shrinking new pimples but can sometimes sting when I put it on ones that have been popped (yes, I know popping them is...

    This is a great product! It definately reduced the time it took to get rid of any pimple by half, without drying out the surrounding area.

    Not bad, not good, I simply didn't notice any difference. My blemishes are mild so I guess I am not sure what I was expecting. It certainly wasn't any sort of overnight cure for the kind I get.

    Was too harsh on my acne prone combo skin. Perhaps because I had to use alot of it on my face hahah. But I wouldn't buy again because I believe it did me more harm than anything. Dried out the...

    Almost perfect except for the fact its not invisible so you can only put on at night--which I guess can be embarrassing if you live w/someone. Lives up to its reputation for drying bump almost...

    I want to be buried with this. I rarely break out except around that time of the month. I've tried many things that don't work on getting rid of these breakouts. But this does. It does sting, but...

    I'm not giving this product a five because it's the ultimate pimple eraser, but it works really well on whiteheads, which is what I mostly deal with. I've been using this for more than a couple...
