Rated 1 out of 5 by from Do not recommend I purchased this product seeing reviews on TikTok about how great this spot treatment is. I used it a few times and was fine, I used it again on 2 spots and woke up with my skin burned. It looks as if I had a chemical burn or something, my skin got super dry where it was applied and then my skin pealed right off leaving my skin red and open. A very scary experience to say the least. It’s been 5 days and it’s still not healing. I do not recommend.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don’t buy!!!! BURNED MY FACE! I used this product three days as directed and by the second day, my face was burned where the product was applied. I was so optimistic about this product but I will never buy it again. I’ve never had such a painful experience with a product.
