PROMISING REVIEW
"I bought this a long time ago because it was on sale and I figured I would try it. Let me just say, if you pick at your pimples a lot like I do, this is what you need. Apply it to your open pimples at night and they’ll be almost completely healed in the morning. It takes longer to heal closed pimples, but it does shrink them a bit overnight as well. Whenever I get a bad breakout, this is my definite go-to."
