This gel is amazing! I had a sore red spot coming in on my chin and one on my cheek, and then remembered I had this product so decided to try it on them. I used a Q-tip to smear it on the spots. It had a little bit of a minty scent, and tingled a bit when I put it onnthe affected areas. To be honest, I did not expect much BUT by morning there was no soreness in the spots!
