Works Really Well!

I use to have pretty bad acne (moderate to severe) and as soon as I got this Gel I put it on my face and OVERNIGHT my biggest spots were gone, within a week quite alot of my pimples had dissapeared! It does sting a bit when you put it on, but that soon goes away.
I love this product, but the box is large and the tube is very tiny.

Are you fighting against something else?

I admit, I have not used this product, but, I did find out when I first started using make-up, that Cover Girl always broke me out. So, I switched and had great luck with revlon, and maybelline. Though I was very happy with those brands, I had given up eye make-up because all seemed to bother me, and made my eyes blurry. I now use bare minerals, because and I am able to use the eye make-up again. A co-worker was having so many breakouts, and was constantly complaining about them, and I told her about my problems with cover girl make-up, which she was using. She switched make-ups, and now looks beautiful. She also uses bare minerals now. To make this long story get to the bottom line-are you using a make-up that is breaking you out? My ratings may not be correct, because I have not tried this product, but wanted to help people prevent the problems in the first place. I do like neutrogena in other products though.

I'm Losing Hope On This

I started this because I didn't have severe acne or anything just like a few pimples. When I put it on, it was fine, but I didn't notice a big difference and weeks started to go bye. I only noticed a small reduction. It was somewhat good, but wasn't worth the almost $10 I paid for it, since it's so small. (Even though it's in a huge box!)
