Love this little guy...This works really well...I just use a little on each problem acne area before I go to bed and I find that this treatment does a great job of reducing the size of the area but also dries out the acne so that in a day or two, the area is clear...The only reason I'm making it 4 stars not 5 is because if I put too much, my skin flakes and too little-too much is a fine line

It has cleared my skin drastically...By far my favorite face product so far...I have been using this three times a week for a few weeks now and it has cleared up my acne and blemishes and is not over drying like most masks are...It's a very good product, and if using it as a spot treatment this tub will last quite a while, so if you're considering splurging a little I would say go for it

Loving this PTR product...A product that works for me...Actually, I don't know how effective it would be for those with moderate to severe acne/skin problems unless combined in a regimen...For me, it doesn't exactly prevent breakouts, but it reduces the frequency, the size, and when I do get a zit, it seems to heal faster
