    Good

    Good for spots under the skin, go in a couple of days with lots of applications. Not as good on healing pimples.

    Clears Acne Fast

    This product is gentle but helps clear my whiteheads fast, I apply it in the morning and it works within a few hours for me. It appears to help calm the pimple and bring everything to the surface, and although ghost I do have tolerant skin it has never irritated me.
