I don't know what exactly happened, whether I mixed it with other products whose ingredients didn't go well with those in this gel, but this thing made my skin purge. I might have overused it as well, since I know nothing about skincare, though nonetheless it made my skin angry after one use. Just not for me.
In the first week after I bought it I used it twice and it had an immediate purgative effect. The only problem is that if you don't use it with a good moisturizing cream it dries out a lot. I recommend that once the pimples have come out, you use salicylic acid patches so that the extraction is faster and they don't leave marks on the skin. They complement each other very well.
