    This stuff is great for small little white heads or upcoming black heads. Not for bigger zits tho, works a little bit but I defiantly recommend for small white heads/ black heads

    My go to spot treatment. Dries out pimples without drying out the skin surrounding like benzoyl peroxide products sometimes do. Not really a strong scent but not being able to put it on during the...

    Bought this online for around 28$ off some site based in the UK. It's mostly just alcohol, which, admittedly, does do the job of drying out a pimple, but it also causes the skin take longer to heal...

    This will hide a zit by applying it with a q tip, letting it fully dry. Put some creme foundation over it and powder. It will stay all night. At night, put dab of it on zit and leave it on to dry...

    Really good clearing treatment for individual breakouts! Works especially well on deep rooted pimples that have not yet come to a head, it unclogs pores and makes all the junk come out. Reduces...

    This is the one product that helps the best to reduce outbreaks. You just dip your cotton swab into the bottle (don't shake it!), apply it to the blemish and leave it on overnight. It usually takes...

    First off, I don't usually struggle with acne (I used to has cystic acne in college but went on Accutane and my skin completely changed). I might get a pimple once or twice a month at the most and...

    Does this work? Yes the reason for the bad review is because Calamine lotion itself does the SAME THING. Calamine is one of the top ingredients on this stuff. I can pick up a 6oz bottle of calamine...

    TLDR: Bought it on a whim, it's been great for occasional acne on my sensitive post-accutane skin, would repurchase. At this point I've been off accutane/isotretinoin for about 3 years and so I...

    I think this works relatively well. This does minimize pimple size fast, but I wouldn't say that it totally vanishes those suckers overnight, or at least in my experience. This tingles a liiiittle...

    This is a nice product if you don't have severe acne. My acne is about 90% under control with Retin A Micro but this helps to get rid of the odd pimple. It stings when I apply it to my skin but I...

    It gives this tingly feel when it's applied on the spot. It dries it out slightly on the first use but that isn't enough to completely dry it out, you'll have to use it for a few days
