This pimple drying lotion has been my saving grace for a couple of years now. If a pimple comes up, I pop it on to my clean moisturized skin and leave on overnight and 9 times out of 10 I’ll wake up and the pimple is less red, less angry and has decreased in size.

I have been using this product for about two weeks now. When I notice a pimple or a blemish coming, I apply and already the next day it looks like it’s pretty much gone. I also have super sensitive skin and it does not irritate me. I do recommend this product torileighhhh · sephora.com
