    I think this is a fabulous product. Of course it will work differently for everyone's skin, but for mine it worked amazing. It can work as a concealer during the day, to help hide and heal the...

    I am very hesitant about products that are meant to dry out pimples and that contain harsh ingredients. They typically cause my skin to become overly dry and unbalanced and then I am dealing with a...

    Okay, this is my not-so-favorite product from MB. I'm so glad I got a sample. It actually works, but my skin broke out in a rash around from where I applied the product. It did do a great job...

    Got this as a sample. Seemed to be working but then a week later i ended up with flesh colored bumps all over the area that i was applying this! I guess it clogs pores.

    This is the best spot treatment for a whitehead I've ever used. It's not effective on blackheads, but that's not what it's for. It also works for those weird under-the-skin pimples too. The color...
