The Original+ Drying Lotion

Some occasional acne is normal. I (a 25 year-old) am obviously no exception. What is NOT normal, however, is a sudden and complete take-over of mutant cystic acne that responds to nothing. And I mean NOTHING. Over 6 weeks, I exhausted all the tried-and-trues: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur spot treatments, glycolic acid, exfoliants and non-exfoliants, tea-tree oil, even Lotrimin. It's like I could hear the acne laughing at me. To add even more insult, trying to get ahead of the breakouts was like fighting a Hydra. Even if I managed to get rid of one blemish, two more would take it's place. I am not a particularly emotional person, but this second puberty from Hell almost broke me. This product was my final attempt before consulting a doctor. Last night, I applied a pretty generous amount to my jaw, neck, and upper-arms. This morning, 90% of the acne was gone, including the ultra-stubborn arm acne - AND no new breakouts. Uh, OKAY?? $20 witchcraft in a bottle? Maybe. If you, like me, are here because you're about to go postal over some pimples, just do yourself a favor and try this drying lotion.

This works to dry the pimple over a few days, but it is VERY hard to remove in the morning. I have normally used the Mario Badescu pink lotion, and the ingredients seem virtually identical. But for some reason, this brand is harder to remove. You will need to use a scrub, or rub very hard with a washcloth, for a long time. So, it's not good for sensitive skin. I would recommend the Mario Badescu over this, and the price is not much higher. A bottle lasts a long time.

I used to use Origins Spot Remover, but found it dried my sensitive, 40's skin out. Dealing with adult hormonal acne, I was searching for something to treat cystic acne, etc. This lotion is drying for sure, but if used minimally and will good lotion, it is great! Cleared up a cyst I have had for 3 weeks in 3 days and it is almost gone!!! It does make my skin dry over the acne, but more like peeling and gently removing the layers and then , poof, gone!!! The ingredients are more natural than other brands. I wish the bottle was a bit larger and the price a bit lower, but seems like a magic wand for me. Update:. This is very very very drying, use minimally, makes my skin dehydrated, no good and seemed to stop working as well. Bummer.

Trust me guys...this really works! I have a very sensitive combination skin type. I've been looking all over to find a product to dry up my Acne, I'm in my late 20's but still suffering from occasional acnes. But thank God I fully found the real works within days, You only have to give it time to completely heal.

I love this product and here's why.. I am BIG into skincare and always enjoy taking care of my skin with the latest skincare and beauty products. However, I have never tried using a dry lotion - as I had mixed emotions about it. If it would really work? I've seen great reviews about the Mario Badescu one but still wasn't really convinced to buy it. This product however is all natural with salicylic acid and not only claims to clear up acne but also blemishes. I also saw all the natural ingredients and WHY they're good for you-- which I love when a company can take the time out to do that.REVIEW OF PRODUCT: 10/10 would recommend. Cleared up my pimple the next morning. For bigger pimples it DRAMATICALLY shrunk it and within 2-3 days it was completely gone. The smell is not stringent and is not a bother to those who may be sensitive to smell. I have a lot of trust in this product to get the job done - and as I said earlier, I have TONS of skincare products but only less than half have my complete trust to actually work in a timely manner with my skin. THIS IS IT.Will be purchasing again once I finish.
