    I love this. My only complaint is that the colo rubs off on my Egyptain Cotton pillow and leaves a pinkish stain. It dries my pimples until they just flake off.

    I used this product for awhile and it did dry up my blemishes rather quickly. My big complaint is when this lotion drys, it flakes off. I often put it on my forhead or near my eyes when sleeping...

    This product does not smell good, but I've gotten used to the smell. I find that it does get rid of my pimples faster and as long as i dot the product on my pimple and not on the surrounding area,...

    This stuff is really awfull. first of all you can't shake or tip the bottle and you need a long q-tip to get to the bottom pink stuff. then you dot it on your pimple. and it dries. then you wake up...

    Didn't work for me... heard that Naomi Campbell used it, and hoped it would be my HG breakout product, but it didn't work at all. Didn't shrink breakouts, but didn't make them worse either... just...

    Love love loved this!!! It's the only thing that's actually worked on my zits. Definitely an overnight treatment, as it is very visible, but it does work for me. Not overnight as claimed in the...

    Sulfur seems to be a really hit-or-miss product, working wonders on some people's zits while doing little or nothing on others'. It just doesn't work for mine. This has the unfortunate effect of...

    I like this product but it also isn't such the miracle it's been advertised to be. It does dry up zits but not miraculously over night. I also don't like how it's visible on the face, I feel...

    Works great on drying out those little pesky pimples. Noticed it didn't do much for the cystic ones. I prefer Jan Marini Bioglycolic Acne Gel II for the big painful ones. This drying lotion is way...

    This producted was lauded by all the style/beauty magazines and i am so disappointed - what a waste of £15. It's like smearing calamine lotion on my face, leaving a dried pink residue that you...

    Hmm...an interesting product. Did not work as well as it is advertised! It did reduce the redness or puffiness. Eventually got rid of my pimple. I don't think I will buy it again (but seems likes...

    So obviously this won´t dry your pimples overnight (nothing I´ve tried does, and I´ve tried tons of stuff) but this certainly reduces inflamation, accelerates healing process and diminishes...

    This did not do what it purports to do - dry out pimples. Maybe, MAYBE they dried up a little, tiny bit faster, but not noticeably so. Just not worth the price for a product that doesn't work....

    This comes in a small glass bottle, where half is a clear liquid and the other half is a pink liquid (separted like it's oil and water- they don't mix). This is an overnight treatment for...

    Well, the advertising on this product is very misleading. A pimple healed overnight? C'mon! I decided to give it a try and found that it works wonders. It basically "killed" my pimples within 2...
