Magic - but be careful with it.
I suffer from small breakouts once or twice a month, one to three pimples at a time. They respond very well to benzol peroxide, but this stuff is astounding. I dab it on the blemish, leave it on for 1/2 hour, then wash it off. By morning, the zit has all but disappeared. This is great stuff, but like all magic, you must be careful because it's strong. If you put it over a larger area, or leave it on too long, the area will be red, flaking, and peeling. Teeny dab'll do ya, and the tube is so huge it'll last forever. I've had mine 2 years and hardly made a dent - and it still works.
