    Excellent for shrinking cystic acne without irritation. Nice, silky texture. This really works and it's relatively inexpensive.

    I used it way more than the bottle said to, but this shrunk a huge cyst in like 2 days. Definitely worth the money-just wish it wasn't so runny and messy. Also, it can be worn under makeup! So...

    Good for cystic acne. Doesn't dry me out at all. It definitely has a medicinal smell but the strong scent disappears in less than 10 seconds so don't worry about it. This product is NOT a...

    My skin was suuper itchy when I put this on. Had to use my fingers because a q-tip would just soak it up. It's a messy product and I didn't see any improvement.
