Not worth the money
I went into this product having read all the reviews so I kind of knew it wasn't going to be a miracle but I was desperate. And yeah, just like pretty much all the reviews say, definitely NOT for cysts and really, not that great in general. I did notice that while I was using it, I wasn't quite as oily as I was before BUT that didn't stop me from breaking out. And as for the white heads, nothing noticeable enough for me to proclaim this to be a great product. I definiatley would not buy it again.

it dilutes the pink sediment at the bottom so it won't work as well, but you can still try it if you don't have time to wait. (it doesn't take that long for it to settle.)

Good product
I expected it to be better considering the price I payed for it. It did work well, although it took too long to actually eliminate the spot. I would recommend it if you're willing to pay that much.

Pros:

-Decreases pimple size
-Helps calm redness
-Works well to clear whiteheads

Cons:

-Somewhat expensive
-Over powering smell
-Hard to travel with

Do Not Shake this product! I found this product to be helpful as an 'on the spot' solution. Works well on stubborn whiteheads that simply won't go away. After 3-4 days of continuous use the pimple will significantly go down in size and redness. Does not cure acne by any means but is a good emergency treatment if you feel a pimple forming.

Great for superficial pimples, DO NOT overuse
This product is great if you know how to use it, but in the hands of an impatient or anxious acne sufferer can be dangerous. This product ONLY works on superficial pimples that have a head near the surface of the skin. Deep pimples will not be affected, and you will only dry out the skin. ONLY apply this product until the pimple is no longer painful/active. There might still be a residual bump or red mark, but that will heal on its own once the underlying problem is addressed. Applying this product after that will only irritate and try out the skin further. Remember, you do NOT need to have a glob of spot treatment on every imperfection on your skin. If you feel like having something there will stop you from picking at pimples, I would recommend the Korean acne dots (you can find them at most drugstores or Amazon).

Quick action
I struggle with under skin pimples and for sure it helped in the process of healing. I only used it one time, leaving it over night on the affected areas, and in the morning my inflammation was significantly reduced. So far, I see it did its job even if it is recommended for white-headed pimples that can be easily squeezed.

Pros:

Absolutely Amazing!
Clears Whiteheads in 2 Nights
No redness or irritation
Non Drying

Cons:

Expensive but Effective

This product is a miracle in itself and I urge everyone to try it. It contains a pink sulfur and Liquid Alpha Hydroxy Acid for one powerful spot treatment. It's actually very gentle but powerful on acne. This combines with MB's other product lines that were recommended to me are the best treatments I have used and tried for 4 years.
