    I agree with the reviewer below, unless I got a bad batch, this gel did absolutely nothing. I have mild acne and am prone to blackheads. I put this gel on and all it did was "sit" on my skin. ...

    I love this gel for the face. I am not sure if it has been reformulated but it is not sticky at all on the face. I use this only at night and love the added antioxidants in the gel. I cover my...

    This product is cysts in a bottle for me. I wish BHAs worked for me; I had high hopes based on all the great reviews here. I used it on my nose and t-zone to help my stubborn blackheads. Within two...

    I bought a sample of this and am really liking it, in fact as soon as I run out I am buying the full size. I got samples of the gel and the lotion and I prefer the gel as it sinks in right away. ...
