[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This has a medical scent but- it does shrink pimples and help prevent new breakouts. Also reduces redness—sometimes within an hour. Pair it with a moisturizer.
Clean calming

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This products comes out clear in a gel like consistency. There is a clinical smell to it that is not offensive. Going on it feels cooling and as you rub it in it becomes tacky, kind of light a gripping primer. It immediately has a tingling effect that quickly dissipates. It doesn't stay sticky in the face, it leaves a clean feeling. It has a calming effect that n pimples overnight.
Packs a punch!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This packs a punch! It was the perfect size to take on a trip abroad, and thank goodness I did. It stings, but it definitely gets the job done and dries up pimples quickly. Layers super well under makeup, just make sure to apply a good amount of sunscreen since this can be irritating and make your skin more sensitive.
