Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works in a few hours! This is one of my go to products and it has really been a holy grail and part of my skincare routine! I put this on any breakout at any stage and it magically disappears in a few hours! The redness goes away as well and but the next day or two, vanished! It can also be used for blackheads and whiteheads

Rated 5 out of 5 by from MUST HAVE. I recently had the worst breakout I’ve had in years and this product alone cleared it within 2 days. I’ve never had a product truly work that fast. If you are experiencing acne, I’d without a doubt recommend adding this to your routine. Spot test first- though this product wasn’t harsh for my sensitive ish skin. 1000/10.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best item to always have in stock! I started using it during college acne when i was really stressed and it worked miracles. I have been using it for years now and I use a little after washing my face before going to bed. Love it!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Didn't work and was harsh on my skin I tried using this a bit and didn't see any results. I have oily skin and have a history of acne. At this point I am trying to manage hormonal breakouts and get rid of deep acne, especially on my chin. A lot of people use this as a holy grail product for acne but it didn't work for me and was pretty harsh on my skin. Made it flaky and kinda dried it out. It also sort of burned. I only gave it 2 stars because maybe I just need to stick with it more but meh. Wouldnt recommend this tbh.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from LOVE IT I used this product till empty my dermatologist suggested it. The only down side was my skin got dry in the areas I applied. But that’s nothing moisturizer can’t fix :)
