This product works best as a spot treatment. It won't rid someone of acne, but it will certainly make a bright red, annoying, and often painful bump significantly diminish and be less noticeable without drying your skin. I think one of the main ingredients is alcohol so don't be surprised when it stings a little.
Overall, I use it only as a spot treatment as I have found that it does not work well on whiteheads.
I have also noticed that it does not do a thing for body acne.
But it is cheap and easy to take with you when traveling. It also lasts a long time. If you don't like the idea of rolling it on your skin, shake it and put it on a q-tip and apply to the affected area.
