Good and effective
Comes in a tiny bottle. And that tiny bottle is a powerhouse of 8, yes 8, not 7, ingredients. I like that it has only a few ingredients. Vit E is the 8th. :)
The website of Dermorepubliq also has good info about each.
Takes about 2 days for my pimples to completely dry out and the marks afterwards are almost untraceable.
One thing I am not fond of this is the dropper. It is about the size of a the usual small dropper, so a drop is actually a "big" drop for me. Then again, I don't get a lot of new ones recently. It takes a good few moments of controlled press to get a small amount and not a full one drop.
While described as mild, I find it quite strong for me. I put a drop of this on a palette. I use an applicator that to pick up a tiny amount to apply on the top of each pimple. Currently using a tiny silicone lip applicator that has a pointed end. If I can find something thinner for a more precise application, better.
And the scent, it always kinds of shocks me a little. It also doesn't completely go away, but would fade into a mild scent after a while.
