While I don’t have to fight major breakouts regularly, when I do, they are sore, cystic pimples. The smart pump bottle allows you to control the amount so you have no waste. Dabbing this on overnight under my night cream I always can SEE & FEEL the result in the morning. The inflamation is dramatically reduced, soreness less & the size of the pimple is smaller and much more dried out, with continued use over the next day or so the pimple is gone and much more manageable. Definetly worth the try!
