    It's an alright product. After reading a lot of good reviews about this on the mecca australia website and thought I would give it a try, I was initially very excited since many people called it...

    I'm really confused about the low rating. This is hands-down my only HG product. This product works well with new acne spots, stubborn acne spots, and cystic acne. It literally drys all of the...

    So obsessed with this product. I use a q tip to apply it to my blemishes and the next day they are almost completely gone. Unless it's a larger, more cystic blemish. Then that takes a day or two...

    This works on the occasional huge cystic, headless zit I sometimes get when it's that time of the month. I find that his helps "draw" the head out, if it makes any sense. It doesn't sting, then...

    This works for me, with the occasional little white head or tidy red bump zit that I get - it reduces size and redness and the tingle upon application feels very clean. It works overnight for me. I...

    I don't know how I feel about this product. If a pimple arises, I reach for this by default and it tingles depending on the type of spot that I have. If there's a small pimple i.e. an under the...

    I love this product. It shrinks most of my whiteheads overnight. I barely have some hormonal acne but when I do, I took a few days to disappear, but it gets the job done. I was impressed at first...

    I like this product because it actually does get rid of whiteheads overnight, but just the small ones. For big whiteheads, it made it extra ripe to pop the next day, which is good if your staying...

    This is a good acne treatment to clear up very mild acne. I have tried this on cystic acne and it did not clear it up/help at all, so if you have those avoid this. This has a high alcohol content...

    Does a great job and dries your zits. However for the same effect and results you could buy "Bye Bye blemish" for half of the cost.
