Great product. Please bring it back.

Sad this product has been discontinued. It’s the only spot treatment that works quickly to stop the itching from the pimple and dries it quickly. And you only need a tiny dab. I had one tube for years and just ran out only to find it has been discontinued. :(

Please bring back the old one!

I agree with other reviewers. This new formula does not work at all and even the color is different! I’ve been using it for 13 years! I can tell the difference! I’ll still get the new one tho I can’t find any other product to replace it. Please bring back the older formula and if the price needs to go up, then just go up! I’d rather pay more for effective product then low price for something that doesn’t work

Doesn’t work

The product doesn’t work. It actually made my pimple more inflamed and darkened the skin around it. I would have been better off just waiting it out. Hopefully I won’t have a scar. Would not recommend
