Buyers' weakest aspect—packaging durability—directly echoes critic block 5's concerns about bottle design and lid quality.

In their words

This stuff is amazing!! It will heal a blemish in less than 24 hours. It doesn't dry your skin out like most other blemish creams. It's the most effective thing I've ever used! It also helps with any hyperpigmentation or scarring. It's not cheap, but worth it. A bottle will last a long time and you don't need to use much to see a huge improvement.

It works wonders on my skin when I have breakouts. I hate the fact I spent around $70 and the cheap rubber lid melted and I didn't know until I accidentally knocked it over and it was money literally down the drain.
