This product is good in the sense that it is clear, does not smell, drys fast on skin and doesn't stain clothing. unfortunately the quality in terms how well it works isnt as good as drugstore...

I went through 3 tubes of this in the worst of my acne prone days and it's really too little product, and not a particularly good one at that, to justify the price. It scarred me every time I used...

I love this, it is make up friendly, and the skin absorbs it really quickly, so I can apply as many touch ups throughout the day over my make up. It is not too harsh yet it does the trick. it dries...

Great blemish gel! It's not drying but manages to deal with nasty pimples. It absorbs into the skin immediately and does not leave a film like other similar gels do. Will repurchase without a doubt!

This really worked well for me. It says to apply this 3-4 times a day, but I only do it twice, once in the morning and once and night, and it works really good! Even the nasty pimples go away after...

This product is just okay. The stinging affect makes you slightly hopeful that it is fighting those nasty, unwanted spots but it takes a few days for them to go down. In New Zealand this costed $44...

Doesn't really work. I used the product twice a day. Like some of the reviewers already said, it only has 0.5% salicylic acid, so maybe that's why it's ineffective.

Paying $22.00 was not worth it for this bottle, I used it for 2 months but I returned it because I don't think it's worth the price at all! For $22.00 you can get 5 of Clean and Clear's Persa Gel...

This is not effective for cystic acne (Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion works better). It does dry up smaller flare ups however. I like that it is easy to dispense only a small amount. When you apply...

I used to use this product with my Zeno. I'd zap with Zeno then put this on and it'd work great. On smaller spots I'd use it without the Zeno and it'd help dry the spot out, but not erase it...
