    Whenever I notice a whitehead pimple start to form, I dab this on a few minutes before going to sleep and I wake up to a pimple that's at least 50% flatter. It's almost as though it speeds up the...

    Has a medical smell, which I like. Comes in a glass bottle, which is a nice touch. Small cute bottle. Price is high, when it feels like the product doesn't do much. Doesn't irritate the skin, but...

    I bought the MB Drying Lotion for full price, $17 US. I can never seem to apply enough on the spot that I'm treating and the applied layer always seems too light to be effective. For me, it just...

    This does absolutely nothing for pimples and cysts, this makes my breakouts worse and leaves me with flaking dry spots. I totally recommend the Kate Somerville version instead. I know they are the...

    I LOVE this stuff. I use it specifically *after* extractions, to draw out any remaining gunk and make the spot go down, and it works amazingly after just a few applications (usually 2). I don't...

    I have mixed thoughts about this product. The first 20 or so times I use a new bottle, it works pretty good to dry out Whitehead’s. I usually have to reapply twice at night. But then something...

    It works like magic! I usually used it for my big acnes & it would heals at only 1-2 days. But i can't make it work at small acnes (like whiteheads i think)..
