Good but
This is a decent acne treatment. The only issue I had with this was the extreme dry skin it caused so I am going to use it three times a week since it did help treat my acne.

Best Blemish Remover
I have always struggled with acne & this product is a lifesaver. I use it every time a blemish appears & it drastically improves my face. If you often breakout, I recommend giving this a try!

I used this for about 2 weeks and definitely saw a change in my skin. Benzoyl Peroxide has been one of my favorite ingredients.

i use this product as an acne spot treatment whenever i can feel a pimple forming i start applying this. it works great at reducing the size of the pimple. after a couple of applications the pimple should go away with this product. works best if you don’t pop your pimples. i have found this product even helps with my cystic acne in reducing the size of the pimple and slowly dissolving it under the skin. will definitely be repurchasing this product to have on hand at all times

Good Spot Treatment
this is a great spot treatment for acne. The only problem is you can’t use it every single night otherwise your skin will peel.

Disappointed
I struggle with acne and I saw really great reviews on this, so I was kinda disappointed when I didn’t notice any improvements or changes in my skin after using it. I used it for a few weeks, and I don’t think my skin liked it.

Slightly disappointed
I used this as a spot treatment on a couple of pimples after hearing what great things other people said about how quickly it will fade them but sadly did not make them go away quickly at all. Don’t feel like it did much at all

Might be too strong for dry skin
It will make your skin super dry so make sure moisturize enough! My hormonal acne did dry up very quickly, even though its a spot treatment the area i DIDNT apply the treatment got super dry and flaky. dont use every night

Saw this all over on tik tok so I wanted to try it. Been using it for a week and so far it’s worked wonders for my skin. It is pretty drying so I always follow up with a heavy moisturizer on top. But definitely works!!
