Guests are saying
The pimple correct pen is appreciated for its effectiveness in treating breakouts, with many guests noting significant improvements in their skin. While the product's active ingredients like salicylic acid are praised for their acne-fighting properties, there is a notable frustration with the pen's applicator, which many find difficult to prime and use. Despite this, the product's ability to clear pimples quickly and without over-drying the skin makes it a valuable tool for those struggling with acne.

Great for a product-break out!
I was influenced and bought a lavender-tallow and broke out in acne! I stopped using everything except for my mild cleanser, then a thin layer of this all over, and my oil free moisturizer. . and within 2 days my skin looks so much better. No irritation either!

My favorite treatment!
I have been using this product for a while and have repurchased multiple times. I love it! I put it on before bed and when I wake up my breakouts are significantly smaller/less red or completely gone! I definitely recommend.

Worst product design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wasted days trying to get the product out. Thank you for wasting my money and my time.

Great go to for little blemishes
I bought this as a minor emergency when I was on a vacation, and I would not stop breaking out. I had recently gotten of stronger ingredients in my skincare but needed a spot treatment. This was perfect. A lot of people are complaining about the pen itself but it's actually great once you push through that first use super forcefully. I love the pen, and once i got the initial push through I haven't had any issues at all and it's easy to control how much you want to come out. My only complaint is that it is as touch expensive for how much you get in it.

I really like it
My face broke out really bad, for three weeks I was dealing with small whiteheads and dry patches from big pimples that popped. All of these areas were super red. I was getting embarrassed because I don’t wear any foundation or concealer because I normally don’t break out this bad. Pimple patches and other things did not work. I used this for the first time last night before I fell asleep. I woke up and my big dry patches lessened by a ton and look almost fully healed. I love this stuff already!

Great product
It was very helpful in getting rid of acne; however, the product was very hard to get out of the packaging.

Like it
So far so good. I was worried about the applicator after reading the reviews but I figured it out. If anyone is wondering you just squeeze the white part after you take the cap off and the product comes out the top lol. It has worked well on my acne so far!

Impossible to use
Looking at the reviews, I’m not the only person to have this issue. I have no idea if the product works or not because none of the product will come out. I have tried all the tricks, nothing is happening. I should not have to fight to get into my overpriced acne gel. I never leave reviews, but seriously, the packaging is an issue that could be fixed with a different design.

Great tool on-the-go!
I love how small and travel-size this pimple corrector is! Pimples can pop up at any time, and this quick fix is great as it relieves the redness and irritation immediately. It also helps me kick the habit of touching the pimple.

Holy grail!!
As someone with sensitive, acne prone skin, this is a game-changer! It noticeably reduces the size of breakouts after just a couple of applications.

Witch Craft!!
I tried out the pimple correct when I had a performance coming up and had a ton of pimples. I put it on before I went to bed and then I woke up and I swear I couldn’t even tell where they were before! This pen is magic!
