    This is my first time using this product. I just put it on five minutes ago and all I can think are these two things: Really smelly. Super strong rubbing alcohol. Kind of irritates my eyes just...

    I've been using the acne repair kit for at least 2 months. The drying lotion is said to be their best selling item. My first impression of the lotion was the strong alcohol pungent smell it gave...

    This is a great product! I only gave it 4 stars because I have had a time or two where it didn't completely get rid of the whitehead but it almost always does! (and of course it is different for...

    My little pink hero - and another HG for me. Over the years, I tried many spot zappers, mostly with mixed results. I used to get huge cystic spots in my T-zone (mainly on the chin) around the time...

    This really does work, but you have to use it the right way. Dip into the pink sediment and SERIOUSLY PILE a BIG PINK BLOB on each pimple. If you dip all dainty into the sediment and dab mostly...

    This is the only spot acne treatment that has ever worked for me. I think it has something to do with the sulfur or calamine in it. I've used BTA, salicylic acid, persa gel, and something I was...

    I applied this at night on a pimple and it was dried the next morning. The pimple was almost gone after a second application the second night. As weird as it sounds, I like the alcohol and calamine...

    The product does what it says--dries up your zitz basically overnight. But it might be a little too strong for sensitive skin. It seemed like it burned my skin a little and I didn't like that. I...
