So far so good
I bought this after reading reviews on my never ending search for acne / spot removers. I suffer from adult acne / cystic acne. When they come up they are red sore and sit under the skin. I've found this brings them to the surface quickly & the lumps are less raised. Only been using a couple weeks. So far so good. I've ordered a few other products from the range hopefully they work just as well! I also have sensitive skin.

No
It doesn't work ,Don't buy. If you need to return it, it is very difficult, it took me almost a month to apply for a return, still unsuccessful, they do not send me the return label. You want to try to use it. be careful.

perfect. absolutely shocking.
this is buy far the best spot treatment ive used. i have quite bad acne and this makes any spot disappear in 1-3 days! the spot is flatter within 10 minutes and barely notisable after a day. yes it burns a tiny bit for 5 minutes when u first put it on but i think the bad reviews are exaggerating because its really not bad. it dries down very quickly and leaves a sheer film over the spot that if u pick at will peal off. but i love this product and i think everyone should try it !

A great spot treatment
Have been using in for some years now and I like it. It can sting when putting it on, but it does make pimples go away faster. It leaves a shear coat that's quite shiny compared to skin and up close you can see it. It can peal so I would not put foundation over, but powder is fine.

Holy grail
It defo does work and you can feel it working and did help my spot dramatically reduce in a few days! A tiny bottle lasts a while !! I totally forgot I brought this a while ago and got it back out and it did work ! Reduced them down.

Brilliant! Does exactly what it says on the bottle.
I think I reviewed this a few years ago, but I wanted to give it a shout out again after a recent experience. Despite being 54 I very occasionally get a mother of a spot. This happened last week. I used this every night. The spot didn't get worse, in spite of being painful, and within 4 days it had almost visibly receded. I haven't ever known another product like this. Superb!

It's a love hate
I never get acne, so I'm not sure on the lifespan of a pimple but when I do I use this. It goes away in 1 or 2 days. I love it. I only wear it at night so it's not on very long. Once it dries it is a little hard to wash off, A good scrub is needed. I do like the size of the bottle because it's relatively small and is easy to travel with. Again I absolutely love this product. But...I have very sensitive skin. I can't even use makeup removal. This product burned, it burn in bad tingling. It's horrible. But it works so all I can say is beauty is pain. But if I ever hang out with someone and they have acne I'll always take this with me. Gotta spread the joy
