    Ive been using this for over 10 years. It does exactly what it says. It dries up pimples. It dries up ones that are still below the surface. It can be drying- just make sure to moisturize.

    I really like this. As someone who's suffered from moderate acne since I was like 12, I've seen my fair share of acne curing products from drugstore, high end, and prescription. This drying lotion...

    This is great because although you do feel the strength of it (slight tingle upon application) it doesnt make your skin react negatively. It also really helped with clearing up whitehead pimples...

    I don't think this really did anything to my face. I was hoping it would help dry out my problem areas but I feel like it didn't do much. It's soothing and adds a nice tingle to the area but I...

    This product is great. I have cystic acne and this helps clear it out in a matter of days. Some smaller pimples clear up over night. It's great. I'm sorry it doesn't work for some people. My advice...

    Okay so this product only worked for me by reducing the redness and the swelling. I would suggest to use something else to wash your face, so do not just rely on this. It's not that bad though, it...

    This did not do for me what it claims. I used this for the monthly breakout pimple or two a couple times, and did not 'accelerate' the pimple in disappearing or drying up. One positive (?) is that...
