    Definitely worth to try, it works miracles on my face and I'm really happy to find something that does what it promises for a change. I also use the Silver powder to clean my pores and equally...

    This stuff is not supposed to be the number one quick fix, but it really does work over 2 or 3 nights. It works very well on erupted pimples although it doesn't dry as fast as I want it too, it...

    I'm on the fence about this product. You only need to use a tiny bit so the price isn't that bad for the amount you get. However, I really can't tell if it helps. Usually I put it on as a...

    I just love this product. It's done wonders on my cystic acne. I'd like to think it works even better than MB's drying lotion. The product is drying so you really need to moisturize well though. I...

    it is best used for the erupted pimples. It does sooth the redness and keep them from getting infected. But that is pretty much all I got from this product in 1.5 months of using!!!! It maybe have...
