Product is pretty good, applicator is wasteful
3 out of 5 stars
WildBoyMom - 6 days ago
The product seems to work pretty well, but my 12-year-old has a difficult time applying it evenly across his problem areas. And, there’s only 1/3 of an ounce in the pen. The pen doesn’t last very long, and at $20 a pen it feels pricey. Plus it feels needlessly wasteful to throw away this amount of plastic for such a small amount of product.
My holy grail!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have hormonal acne year round; I usually breakout with whiteheads on my chin when I’m on my period. Using the pen on my breakouts before bed takes them away literally overnight. I have also started new skincare within the last month and my skin has been purging. Again on my chin, but also on my cheeks and forehead. This is just so nice to use when I want it to go away super fast. When the whitehead is really bad, I’ll use the pimple patch until it’s small enough then go over it with the pen and it’s gone. Absolutely love this thing.
Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like it but I feel like it made me break out worse. I only bought this because i needed it to get rid of a few pimples but when I started using it I broke out all over, and my skin is relatively clear. I haven’t broke out like this for years and I couldn’t think of anything else that would cause this.

i’ve tried every tip and trick that there is to get it to work and it won’t budge. I’ve bought two of this product trying to see if it will work and none of them work. I’ve tried everything what is going on.
For me, it works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought I was sunk with a large pimple showing up on my forehead overnight. However, a couple of treatments and I really do think it went down a lot quicker than it would have had I not used this product. Mind you, I get hormonal acne but otherwise have clear skin, so I'm not sure how it would work on other types of acne. But for spot treatments for the occasional breakout, I would highly recommend! The dispenser is a little odd so you have to push it lightly or too much product will come out but that isn't inconvenient enough to lower the rating of the product itself. I will say, I especially love that this product is NOT drying.
Life-changing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is truly unlike anything I've ever tried. So fast acting, any pimple that is starting to form is eradicated before it gets any worse! I 100% swear by this
Love it!!!

I use this when I feel a pimple forming right before bed and wake up with no pimple at all! It is truly amazing. The only loss of the star is that it does dry up slightly in the area but not enough to get flakey.
Only thing that works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this, but it just wasn't strong enough. I have relatively dry skin, but have been experiencing wild breakouts now that I'm in my 40's. Nothing seems to work for me, except salicylic acid treatment. I was hoping this would be my solution, but it just wasn't. I felt there wasn't as much product in the tube as I expected, either. I didn't see the results from this that I've gotten from similar products, so I'm not sure if it worked for me or not. Maybe I needed more than one tube to get the results I was looking for?
Use Everyday!

Use it every day. My skin is T-zone oily and I often get pimples under my hairline so patches can't be used. This isn't cheap and it adds up, but it is essential!
Magic pen!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it on white heads mainly! I usually use it at night and wake up with my white heads gone! I try to only use it no more than 2-3 times a week or it'll dry out my skin. .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn’t do anything like it suggested it would, in fact, I felt like it made me break out worse! I gave it months and months thinking it was just my skin getting used to it, but nope, more than 90 days later and I can still create a canvas on my face of pimples if I use this stuff as the paint!
I’ve not needed to use

Its Pretty Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this product about a month ago. I use it on my under the skin blemishes as well as on my active breakouts after I pop them. I notice after about three days of using it on the spots regularly they flatten really well and are barely noticeable under my concealer. before it would take weeks to get the same result. It also doesn't clog my pores or make my breakouts worse which is a plus. The only side not is I wish it did more for the red mark it leaves behind. But I mean it helps so much with the painful breakouts that it's really not that big of a deal. I recommend using this product.
Good product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product, takes a little longer than the website says it does to remove pimples. Doesn't work good for blackheads or underground pimples.
Its a good value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is awesome and really works, the 2 star review is for the packaging (gel pen) it sucks. You’re supposed to be able to squeeze the squishy part on the pen and the gel is supposed to come out of the tip but mine doesn’t work like that. I pressed/pumped it numerous times and nothing happened. I have to get the whole pen apart just to get to the actual product. Please put it in a tube or jar for easier access!
