    I've tried a sample and this gives me inconsistent results. Sometimes it feels like it helped with a bump (with no head) and brought up the head, sometimes it doesn't. It feels quite oily/greasy...

    I wish I didn't love this, but I do. It's expensive ($42) but....wow! I use this 3 nights a week on the area under my eyes, as I have a small amount of milia that drives me nuts. This product has...

    Goddammit. Why does such a pricey product (especially for the small amount of product you get) have to be so effective? If you don't have major skin problems, this isn't for you. But for me, I...

    I had a stubborn milia spot on my cheek that just wouldn't go away, and after about a year of dealing with it I found a 20% off sale on this product, so I took a chance on it. Within 48 hours not...

    I will concede that this stuff got rid of a stubborn milium (apparently the singular of "milia" - I learned a new word and now, so have you!) under my eye. As far as skincare concerns go, this...

    My HOLYGRAIL skincare product. Use it almost every night as daily exfoliant and BHA 2% in the morning gives me acne-free face that I always dream of. As I'm not using this as a spot treatment but...

    I have very oily skin and stubborn clogged pores on my nose. PC 2% BHA liquid improved the situation significantly, but not completely, so I tried BHA 9. The packaging dispensed at least twice as...

    This is an excellent treatment for stubborn acne, cysts, clogged pores or blackheads. I find that this is much more effective than the 2% liquid while being less drying too. The formula is a bit...
