This is the most effective spot treatment I've found.

I waited to try it for a long time as I was put off by the inclusion of fragrance, but I've found it is worth it despite fragrance in the formulation. If your issue with fragrance is just the smell and not any potential sensitization, I don't find this to have any noticeable smell. I do find that if I apply a concentrated dot in the same spot multiple times, it can start to be slightly burn-y, but I'm not sure if that's because of the actives or because of the fragrance. Regardless, I would feel more comfortable if this was reformulated as totally fragrance free.

Nonetheless, I'm rating it five stars for it's unique effectiveness due to the uniqueness of its actives. you're not gonna find those in any other product

I have been using this product for 3 months now, since March.
What did this product do?
- when applied directly to spots and emerging breakouts, it immediately reduces their sebum retention and made them stop swelling
- ibroprophen in the product makes swelling from large nasty cysts stop being painful when you touch it within a few hours
- dried out puss and sebum filled spots so they’re easily glided off with an oil cleaner
How I’d use it:
I’d usually apply this directly to my individual spots, it’s my alternative to a pimple patch and the reason why I prefer this is because the ibroprophen also numbs the pain of any acne on my face.
Things to be wary about:
- This hasn’t happens for me but I have heard that others found the ibroprophen basically became useless on their skin after using it so much users built immunity to its healing properties, although after 3 months of applying it whenever I get a spot I have yet to see this happen to me.
- I noticed that personally if I apply more than a dash of it, it can make the skin a little too coarse on the area you placed it on as if you have been exfoliating it, you know that skin tension that you get when your skin has had harsh chemicals on it

In conclusion, I adore this acne spot cream, I’ve heard people use of it as a lotion or a mask but personally I believe it to be a little to harsh for that, but maybe I’ll try it, I think it’s a really unique acne cream and I know this is going to last me a minimum of 2 years because of how little I use in comparison to the packaging, it’s cute, I struggle a lot with forehead acne and the occasional spots appearing on my under eyes, nose and chin. I put this on my skin overnight and wake up with no more swelling, aching and sometimes the entire pimple is gone. It’s like a pimple patch solution without the sealant sheet over it. I recommend this as it serves a purpose beyond just treating your acne, it also nullifies the pain. The only reason when I do have a clear forehead is because of my exfoliants combined with this treasure that eliminates the smallest sign of a spot that comes my way
