Pros:If you have a "cyst" or "pustule" and apply this directly as a spot treatment, it effectively weakens it and sends it into a remission taking the pain away usually with overnight use. Good for spot treating bumps that don't "pop."
Cons:Very drying. "Burns" off your skin and leaves red circles in the used spots. If you apply to your who face be ready for a face of red and dryness. If you have sensitive skin, DO NOT USE THIS. Be honest with yourself because it will saveyoutrouble
Bottom Line:Good at turning a painful to touch zit into nothing without having to take care of it by popping. However, it's very damaging to skin, causes more scarring than acne itself because it literally eats your skin off when healing a zit. Drying, causes redness.

However, no fragrance or nasty smell.

I would say skip this product, you can find cheaper and better working items that do not damage your skin like this does. I have stopped use because I noticed it created a light pink spot where I used it on my face, which will take more time to heal than acne.

Pros:Smells great! I'm not sure why people are saying it stinks, it smells like a lotion or soft perfume. I have only been using it for almost a month now (Keep in mind the first two weeks you can only use every other day) and so far no complaints.
Cons:The price for the full bottle, but it seems to be working so it's worth it.
Bottom Line:Bottom line is it smells good and barely sticky. (People keep saying it stinks and is sticky, disagreed!). It will sting only if you put it on acne that is opened so I recommend not using it immidiately after a shower as it will probably stink.

If youre considering this, try the sample bottles, thats what I purchased.
Recommended:Yes

Cons:The sting after application
Bottom Line:Seems to be retarding breakouts, only two days and I cannot believe my eyes, even my colleagues are commenting..........

Pros:Evens out your skintone, fades red/brown marks, prevents new acne, removes blackheads, and prevents congested pores.
Cons:Kinda pricey, but a little goes a LONG way with this! I bought 3 sample tubes (for $6) and got a free one with my order-its been a month and I am not even through one tube yet!
Bottom Line:I think the main reason why some people are getting different results with this is that they are using it either incorrectly, or not taloring their use of it to suite their skin type. For me I cannot use it more than every other day right now and that is plenty. Also you should only be applying a pea sized amount to your whole face-you can't layer it over just one part of your face otherwise you may cause peeling. I only apply a tiny amount each time I use this and my results have been fantastic! I think that within 3 weeks from now I will be comfortable not wearing makeup in public (so excited!). This stuff has improved the texture and tone of my skin drastically. My skin is glowing right now! I look fantastic! At this moment I have NO active pimples on my face and I am PMSing! This is the first time in the past year that I have felt confident and good about myself. Make sure to only add a tiny bit, use it as a lotion not a spot treatment, and don't use it more that 3 times per week.

Cons:Sticky, smells, and it doesn't work.
Bottom Line:I tried MaMa Lotion a year ago when I broke out with a cyst. I used this product and it did no good. It left me with a major ick pick scar. It also does no good for my skin aswell because of it's harshness, but I have sensitive skin. Personally I wouldn't recommend it...

Cons:I honestly don't have any to list. I'm too thankful!
Bottom Line:I had flare up of cystic acne. I saw dermatologist immediately and was given a powerful antibiotic, and I began using MaMa Lotion on raw active acne. The results were outstanding. I have no new scars, my skin went from unslightly to nice in one week. I'll be on oral meds a good while but MaMa Lotion is amazing.My skin is NOT sensitive. I am aware that my doctor promptly perscribing antibiotic and Nu Celle cleanser and toner in cunjunction with MaMa Lotion, also made an immediate difference. None of those options were possible when I was a young girl even the antibiotic of that day failed to target the bacteria - it was their side effect of drying that helped somewhat. Thank Goodness for the modern age!!

Pros:It is currently more or less the only topical treatment that gets rid of acne scars, both pigmented and pitted scarring, and it does so very quicky.
Cons:Irritates the skin like mad. Expect a massive amount of peeling and redness. If it interacts with red, inflammed pimples it can cause a breakout.
Bottom Line:My pigmented scars faded in two weeks and one pitted scar I had was significantly reduced.

Only use this every 5 days or so, or until the lotion from the last application has peeled off completely. Trust me on this.

I would strongly suggest not using this if you have active acne. If you do, do NOT apply it to the pimples.

Pros:Face looks very clear and even color.
Cons:Just the flaking, but well worth it.
Bottom Line:I have been using this product for about 2 months and LOVE it! I don't have acne, bought it because of aging. My face looks so very clear and even colored. Small lines seem to be evened out. I use it at night. If it is too sticky, you are probably using too much. I am now alternating nights with a Retinol cream.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Blondie has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Does a great job of fading away scars and drying up new and old acne.
Cons:It makes your skin peel and your spots might become alot darker before they begin to lighten. Just don't use it everyday. Instead use it every other day or twice a week.Also use a sunscreen while using this product. This method helps! Trust me.
Bottom Line:This product works! Just give it some time and you'll be surprised on what it does for your skin.
