This is a very powerful product that dries up blemishes in a couple of days. You can see its effect after a few hours. I have used prescription medication for acne, and this product is at the very least as effective as the topical treatments I have used.
This will not do much for blackheads/whiteheads, will not clear up scarring or treat an acne condition. It really is a very specific topical treatment for blemishes.
It can burn a bit if applied on injured blemishes (yes, I had that bad habit, trying to lose it), but only slightly tingles if applied on uninjured skin.
I like its herbal fennel seed smell, but it can be quite strong. The roll-on bottle makes it easy to use, but the flow can sometimes be a bit too much and release a lot of product.
A few inconvenient aspects:
- it does cause redness/irritation (my skin is sensitive), which can be annoying when you have several blemishes to treat
- the roll-on device catches dead cells/other stuff that then accumulate at the bottom of the bottle, and I still don't know how to get around that problem
- it's always sold out when I try to buy it online!!
