It’s a miracle worker for me! I’ve used so many pimple creams and spot treatments but none of them have worked! I’ve been getting a really bad breakout around my cheek area, and I applied some of these on the pimples I felt they were about to come out. The next morning there was no bump or redness! It completely dried them out.. it only left a bit of red scarring but no biggie! So happy with my pu gissela.s · influenster.com
