Very effective at spot treating, if left overnight. Very irritating, however, if left on a large area on the face. Use for direct pimples only.

Doesn't do much and it broke me out also I don't get the texture of this for a spot treatment
Initially I didn't like this but it was because the directions were not very clear to me. Even here on Skinsort it would line it up in the middle of the routine. Probably my fault in not using it right but now, I lather on a thick layer on any blemish or even on dark spots left from older acne before going to bed as the very last step. In the morning the blemishes are either gone or very much Show more
