Hard to wash off, leaves dark spots, makes the area applied really red, if applied for more than 4 days in a row may cause burning of the skin, flaking and peeling, the amount applied should be reduced to minimum for spot acne not all over the face
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.
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.
Very cheap price!
Actually works!
Easy to get hold of
Not for sensitive skin
can be messy
It's cheap.
Enlarged pores shrank and had visibly smoother skin after just one use.
It helps with hormonal/cystic acne, reduces scarring and even helps dry up those stubborn spots that never come to a head.
It burns my very sensitive skin & makes my skin very red after use-I usually put a thin layer on clean dry skin a few times a week. I wash it off when the tingling stops then allow the redness to subside before I apply toner & moisturise.
It's opaque white, with a slighty gritty texture, & is quite oily so cannot be worn under or over makeup.
Can be hard to get hold of.
Small tin but it's dirt cheap & a little goes a long way!
Don't use it everyday as it isn't as effective & it
works really fast and reduce the redness around the pimples..a must try for anybody with pimples!!
smells not so good...can't use it in the morning as i hav to attend classes..
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.
-Cheap
-Effective
-Not as drying and doesn't make skin flake as much as other topical treatments
-Can be used for other skin ailments
-Burns like hell
-Sits on the skin so only good for use in the home
-Wipes off easily when you don't want it to but can be hard to wash off badly affected areas.
-Hard to open the tin first time round
-Smells slightly of sulphur and menthol which might be off-putting for some
-I can't give my toddler kisses and cuddles whilst wearing it :(
-You look daft with white splodges dotted over your face
I found it tightened my pores - zapped zits and cleaned up the yellow heads. Excellent product. I am over 50 and now have wrinkles and zits, this seems to tighten my skin and envigorates it.
IT DOES Sting/ burn and tingle for about 1/2 hour.It smells like sulfur (one of the ingredients).It makes my eyes water.It is thick and white and hard to spread and remove. I use it all over once a week and spot treat the rest of the time. I do not use it at night as it gets all over. I put it on when I have an hour or two of privacy (then go relax) AFTER to get it off I use plain vegetable oil and tissues, then GENTLY wash with mild unscented Dove bar soap. WORTH THE TROUBLE.
