    I bought this out of curiosity for the occasional blemish. It works on bacteria acne or normal clogged pores, but it will not work for cystic or most extreme cases of acne. It's important to...

    This product really works. It's an innovative approach to blemish control and I always wake up with clearer skin when I use it. Sometimes it can work a bit too well and cause my skin to dry out and...

    Let me start off by saying- recently my skin for whatever reason has been breaking out so badly. I'm used to getting little pimples here or there, but lately it has been all over my forehead, chin,...

    I've had this for a month and have used it almost everyday. It's not a miracle product. Some acne shrinks, some don't. It didn't prevent future break out, neither does it cause more breakout....

    When I used to break out, I did like this drying lotion. It appears to be calamine mixed in with some alcohol. It reduces the immediate inflammation and reliably decreases the size of the pimple. ...

    Love this! Doesn't make cystic acne go away in one use but it definitely diminishes and drys then out. I can go from perfect skin to 4 or 5 blemishes and this works in 2-3 uses. I would definitely...

    If I ran out or lost this product, I would drop whatever it is I was doing and go buy more. Lots more. I have struggled with acne on and off for most of my teenage/young adult. I'm happy to say...

    This product did what it said! Pimples won't completely go away overnight but it def made them much smaller and easier to conceal. And the product lasts forever. I am so happy I found this product!

    Doesn't work any more than a clay during mask does. This isn't a miracle worker. If the spot does by chance go down the acid from the product will leave you dry. I don't feel it worked.

    Was wondering if this has happened to anyone else... While it does dry out the pimple overnight (which I love) it sometimes leaves that spot discolored. Like a hyper pigmentation spot. It...
