Make sure to shake the bottle.
Bought this on sale and thought I would give it a try. Never had problems with breaking out till now in my late 30s maybe a hormone discount. I found this product to be very helpful when out of us that I would get a white head or a pimple put it on go to sleep woke up and almost away. Make sure you shake the bottle before you use it so it's more activity.

This does have a slight smell to it but I feel like once you apply what is needed it dries up in a few minutes and the smell is gone. Love using this to dry out those stubborn pimples

This will hit your zits
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will hit your zits like a cannon. Blast them right off your face. I've suffered from occasional stress pimples my whole adulthood. This will zap zits before big events. Trust me and get this. It actually really does work. I love it

Doesn't Work
Pimple patches work so much better. This did nothing for me. For night use, if you move once in your sleep the product comes off. I tried using it during the day, put it on at 10am, when i checked it at 10:30am, product was gone and I made sure not to touch my face. Truly useless. Get the pimple patches from Hero instead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this to be the best drying lotion for overnight care of pimples. As soon as I notice one forming, I dot this on before bed and usually the area is clearing by the next morning. May need to apply a few nights in a row for those stubborn zits. Great product!

A staple during breakouts!
This drying lotion is meant to target single pimples and dry them out! It works best as a final touch on nightly skincare routine. Wash, moisturize and then apply this to spots. Also try regular salicylic acid or witch hazel

It works!
This is my 4th bottle of this. It is the best product for minimizing/drying blemishes overnight. I've multiple brands of the popular dot/sticker blemish treatments and none have worked half as well or at all.

Whole skin care products are
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whole skin care products are so good and you actually see results when using all day / everyday and being consistent. I have had close friends and family notice the difference big time because I do suffer from a lot of acne on both side jawlines and acne on face and honestly all these products helped a lot. I love also the sprays , that reduce stress for almost whole body and the rose water , the coconut & before going to bed the lavender spray and honestly overall all Mario badescu is fabulous and promising. Also all the products do not feel heavy as in the consistency or texture for me.

drying lotion
So, my skin is usually pretty normal. I had a few little bumps and decided to use the drying lotion. It recommended to stay on overnight. The next morning I had small white pimples all over my face where I had applied it. Weird. Messed up my face.
