    This was the first ever purchase I made from MB back in '05. It seemed a bit pricey for a tiny bottle, but the results were worth it! I also just recently discovered that this product heals cold...

    This product does minimize and calm eruptions. They do not go away entirely, but will after a few days with continued use. It also does not overdry the skin, so that is a plus.

    This is weird stuff, it's like watery milk and runs all over when you try to get it on a blemish. But darn it all, it works. Apply at night, your developing blemish will be calmed down and...

    Nope, this doesnt work for my cystic acne, actually nothing works other than good old holding down a warm towel on my face for 10 minutes until the white head is surfaces, i know i know, TMI.

    The best pimple treatment ever! Keep in mind that there are many different types of pimples, and most pimple formulas are targeted to fix one type only, so if u find a paricular pimple treatment...

    I said I wouldn't buy this product again, not because it's bad. On the contrary, I think it's pretty darn good! It really works (my emerging pimple went back underground within a day of using this,...
