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

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.

Cons:

Sticky, smells, and it doesn't work.

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...

Pros:

Cleared up my acne, helped keep away blackheads

Cons:

didn't really notice pore size going down or fading red marks left over from previous acne

I've read about people saying red marks have faded, pore size is minimized and texture has evened out. I haven't really noticed any significant difference in my skin in any of those areas using Mama Lotion. What I DID notice, however, is that it has been very effective in keeping my skin mostly acne free and helping to keep away the blackheads on my nose. For me, that's more than enough. After trying loads and loads of products and having none of them be extremely effective at keeping my skin acne free, to have clear skin for this long (about 3-4 months) for the first time in years is amazing. I've also started using mineral makeup and Neutrogena clear skin tint, which I think also helps in not clogging the pores and working to keep skin renuewal up. My skin isn't sensetive, and I've never had too many problems with other kinds of acne clearing formulas (other than them not working very well). But people with sensetive skin might want to be cautious about increasing

Pros:

Improved the texture and clarity of my wretched skin. No more cystic acne.

Cons:

I did experience an "initial breakout"... but I was breaking out anyway.

My skin looked awful. I had about cysts, papules and pustules all over, and I'm 35. I tried this stuff and, eventually, it worked beautifully. It did pull everything that was lying in wait under my skin out onto the surface... which sucked, but after about 5 months, my skin is smooth and clear. The leftover scar are fading at a fair clip, as well. YAY!

Pros:

Fades away acne scars, smells good too.

Cons:

A lil pricey, but its worth it. The stingy after the application, but its worth it also. Dry skin...all you need is to put on some moisturizer after.

I love it. I have black scarring from acne. First product that actually worked on my acne scars. Try it!

Pros:

Gets your hopes up...

Cons:

Drys your face LIKE CRAZY.
Doesnt work...

I have been using Mama lotion for over a month and see NO CHANGES in the way my face looks or feels... Well, my scars are a little darker than they were before... Waste of money and time.

I have been using MaMa Lotion for over a year. My acne started cleazring afer a few weeks and I haven had any major outbreaks since starting. I have also noted benefit in my pore size and a general brightness to my skin! I had been having it shipped to Canada from the US for the past year but now see that it is available in Canada from [link edited out] This has really saved on shipping.

Pros:

Smoothes out my skin!
Helps get rid of acne scars!

Cons:

Stings a little bit (but not enough to stop using it)and the stinging is understandable, it IS and acid.

This has done WONDERS for my skin!!! I tested it out the first week or so to see how my skin reacted to it and to see how frequently I could use it. I am able to use it every day, and I moisturize about 30 minutes after applying the MaMa lotion (to avoid a residue/buildup when the unabsorbed MaMa lotion and moisturizer combine). The MaMa lotion brings a lot of "gunk" to the surface of the face, so make sure to be patient and not pick at anything. Believe me, you will be SO HAPPY with the results! A few days later, all of the gunk had sloughed off and I saw bright, new, acne-free skin!! MaMa lotion is fantastic!!! I am extremely pleased with this product, and am so glad that I discovered it :)
