    I buy this product time and time again, and for good reason – it works! I buy the travel bottle because it is plastic and travels well. The bottle has a thick pink substance similar to calamine...

    This product was a complete waste of my $44 AUD. Not only did i waste my money, i wasted time applying this in hope of it working. If i could, i'd put zero lippies, lol. The drying lotion claims...

    This stuff didn't work at all for me. It doesn't do anything, I just feel like I'm washing off chalky residue when I get rid of it (or scrubbing off, it's a pain to totally get rid of,) and my...

    Another dissapointment, this did nothing to my whiteheads except make me look like i have warts on my face. Far too expensive as well, better off using a tea tree stick.

    This product did not live up to all the hype. It didnt reduce any of my pimples. The only thing it did do was make my pimples darker and more noticeable. It smells bad, but I wouldnt care about...

    This product really works. But you have to give it time tho. It doesnt get rid of your pimple overnight & that's my main concern.

    Amazing! It does dry up your blemishes throughout the night. It may not work as well on larger or more cystic pimples. It has cleared all but one up on my face, and I understand that the one that...

    The claim that this was a miracle was an overstatement. All it does for me is dry out a zit I popped, and in the morning, the pink residue would unnerve me even after washing my face. It does...

    Ok, I have mixed feelings for this one. Let me start with one: it STINGS! Sulfer, oh yeah, baby! But, if you, like me, can bite your lip and suck it up then continue to read the review: 1. The...

    I really didn't find this to do much of anything. I dug the q-tip in the bottle, applied the pink stuff to any active spots, and went to bed. Woke up the next day, washed my face, and lo and...

    Didn't really work for me. Pimple may have slightly receded. Strange b/c the active ingredients are similar to another product that works for me (Eve Lom Dynaspot). Oh well.

    This spot treatment doesn't really do anything for me. It doesn't seem to dry out spots in the way the name suggests. Initially it did have a little effect on spots, but that was short-lived as...

    I find this to be an amazing product. It doesn't make full-blown pimples disappear overnight, but it does help to get rid of them in their 'infancy,' IMO. I apply it (at night) as soon as I start...
