If you have sensitive skin, using this product longer than 3 days in a row can absolutely tear apart your skin. Extreme drying out results...and the other minor con is the smell, but its not unbearable.
This is the only thing actually works on cystic acnes. The next best thing would be the Buffering Lotion from Mario Badescu which works much slower. It doesn't erase the big pimple overnight but makes it significantly smaller, flatter and less red and sore. The smell is ok, the tingling is bearable(just think about the psychological and physical pain caused by your pimple!). It comes off easily but I only use it at night, the only trouble is having to wash sheets and covers more often!
My skin always gets flaky, even if only a tiny amount is used. My skin doesn't feel dry or anything, it's just literarily flaky, kinda like sunburn but doesn't hurt. When this happens I just gently rub it off then apply a rich layer of Healing Cream from Mario Badescu and off I go.
It seems to be excellent at speeding up healing and making spots look less red. It's also really good value for money
Can only be used on existing spots and not as a preventative method. It is only available online and not in stores in the UK.
easily available from local drugstore, since this item is produced and manufactured in malaysia. (sg and msia is beside each other btw) price is cheap too, at ard SG$4, ard US$2.50 for the biggest size one.
smelly.
stinking.
dries up puss-filled pimples. reduces redness/inflammation. doesn't smell
wipes off easily.
works for chafe, works for "senior pimple" if you are up in age, worked on severe breakout of Acne Vulgaris, works quickly if not 'gobbed" on approx 2 days, allows sparing use so it will be in medicine cabinet longer-wont have to re buy, use sparingly
slight burning sensation if you have delicate skin
clears face, actually works
needs to be in a tube not can. smells badly. white thing is always on my bedsheets at night. hurts! but its worth it use tissue to wash offf
Seems to be working for my pimples and even on the scars that Proactiv left all over my face.
Burns a little but only for a second before it calms down. SEVERELY tarnishes silver and white gold, if you leave the product on overnight like they recommend, take off all your jewellery.
It works well
IT Burns for like five minutes..but i like to feel something working so yeah!

Pros:
Absolutely, hands down the best product I have used on my face. I have used every prescription product and nothing has worked as well as this has. Clears pimples up very quick, with few side effects.
