    This has been a HG acne product for me...I'm 36 and have been fighting acne since I was about 13-14. As other reviewers have mentioned, the consistency makes it hard to apply. Imagine squirting...

    I can almost say this is a miracle product against cystic spots/acne. Very efficient in clearing them up. The only downside on this, is the applying method. I have to use cotton balls otherwise it...

    This is magic in a bottle. I occasionally get hormone-related cystic spots on my otherwise clear skin (the painful, huge, under-the-skin kind). I dab a thin layer of this over the spot before...

    This smelled very strongly of alcohol and I couldn't see that it really did anything but dry my skin out. I won't be repurchasing this product.
