This stuff is great at reducing size & redness of zits overnight, but it's easy to get carried away. This should not be used more than a few times a week before bed - it's not at all a face mask or leave-on solution! The bottle is roughly the height of my thumb and has lasted over a year, so I don't think the price is too bad. The smell of the liquid is similar to straight up gasoline, but once it dries it's not noticeable. It doesn't sting or burn, it doesn't bleach pillowcases/clothing, and it comes off easily in the morning with warm water.
This drying lotion really works. It helps to reduce the size of your pimple overnight and almost immediately. On the days when I have really huge pimples on my face, I will dab it over with cotton bud and my zits will be almost calmed immediately.
The cons? It is really expensive for a drying lotion, almost $35 SGD which I believe I can find a dupe for it.
I did not see any difference on my skin. After using the product for about a month I can safely say that the product did not really work on my pimples/white heads, it only dries the out a slight bit but they did definitely not disappear after applying the product a few nights in a row. Would not buy again!
