I gave this product a 3 because it is really stinky, and it is a little thick. It spreads ok, but some may not like the super-rich consistency, and I don't think anybody would like the smell. It smells exactly like Betadine antibacterial clinical wash. Maybe it's due to the 5% benzoyl peroxide. This stuff is supposed to be used once a day to absorb oil and treat bacteria that causes blemishes. Actually, it rinses really well and is not drying at all, and it really does keep oil at bay for hours on end after usage. It's just...that stench. I've read that it's good for overnight pimple treatment, and it does it's job well---it just has a fetid way of doing it.
