I've had acne now for about 3 years. I have tried so many things but nothing has worked for me until my mother (hispanic) came to me and gave me this ointment that we always use on scrapes , cuts or burns. This ointment is used as a disinfectment for those things and to heal. She told me that they always used this on acne in mexico when she was a little girl. It's not proven or used for acne it's not purposley sold for that intention. So i tried it about last week. i have oily forhead and chin and VERY dry cheeks. So i was kind of scared that it would dry my face. But it actually didn't and let me tell you i regret NOT using it sooner. i have red marks on my face to due acne and new acne coming in all the time this litterly stopped the zit before it could even start and my scars/redmarks have really lightened it really helped me alot. I checked for places that they sell it here since it's a mexican ointment and i found that they sell at at walgreens , it comes in a green rectangular prism box. This is really good and it wouldnt hurt to give a try i havent seen my face this clear in years. hope this helps
