Acne Control Drying Lotion (Light/Medium), 0.5 Ounce

Don't often review. Only when a product works exceptionally well. I have spot break outs. This stuff dries them up quick. Works as preventative. I have oily skin on my nose. I apply everynight to dry up and prevent. OK, but odd to shake. Applicator is unusual? I use my finger tip to apply. You can feel it working. Slightly medicinal in fragrance, I can cope because it works.

This is truly what is advertised! When used on the pimple or the zit - it really stops here. It has a strong drying formula that controls the zit completely and it dries it up fully. It really covers like make up but actively dries immediately. Truly for those who have quite a few active pimples, you all won’t regret it.

Just recently started having mild breakouts along my jawline and while I want to hide them with makeup, I don’t want to make them worse. This is such a great solution! I put this on and let it dry and then covered with foundation and it was completely hidden and the blemish cleared up way faster than it normally would have! Really only took about 36 hours for it to go away with the help of this drying lotion and I love that it matches my skin tone! I have very very fair skin. Almost translucent and once this is blended in, it matches my skin beautifully! It does have a strong smell from the medicine in it but once it dries down I couldn’t smell it anymore at all. It will dry your skin out if you use it too often so just be careful to combine it with a good moisturizer. There’s enough in this bottle to last me years since I only have the occasional breakout. I’m so happy I found this!

I find that this sulfur-based product gets the job done more effectively than benzoil peroxide creams, and had the advantage of being a concealer as well. I knocked off two stars because A) no matter how much you shake the bottle up, eventually the "pigment" settles into the bottom and stays there like river mud, leaving a watery product that's not much good until you get a thin stick and stir things up again; and B) the seal on the bottle top is poor. I estimate that I've lost a good 10% of the volume over the life of one bottle just due to leakage, which is unavoidable since you have to shake it up constantly. Also, really overpriced at $21 for half an ounce. I'm moving on to trying other products.

The acne spot treatment and drying lotion is great, It moisturizes, while it covers and fights acne. The treatment is thin in texture and the lotion separates, but you shake it up and it works perfectly. It isn't sticky, and you get a great value for your money, since you don't have to use much. This size bottle will last me for a really long time.
