Masks but doesn't treat
Since I was the only person in my family with acne from a young age, I would get into the medicine cabinet a try to fix myself. Making my face pink instead of seeing blotches made me feel better at 10, but when I told my pediatrician, he laughed at me. It kept me from touching my face with my hands, but it didn't allow my skin to breathe, he said, it was merely masking the redness, and that I should stop.

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Woke up in the morning everyday with worse acne, with hopes that the next morning would be better, but always to be let down by the sight of new acne.

Don't use it, soes NOT improve acne.
