I saw this whole system and bought it to try it out. I don't have really bad acne but the occasional breakout means I still need to have a product that really works!
This worked for me for a while but it might be true that after a while your skin gets used to it and develops a certain tolerance to it. When I used it at first, it did help to reduce the size and redness of my pimples overnight!
One thing i didn't like about it was the packaging. I have to let it lie on its side but when you almost get to the end of the product, its really hard to get it out of the tube.
But for that price, it may still be worthwhile to try!
This is something I've had for over a year, and used on and off. However, I'm not that thrilled with the results it gives, and I won't repurchase once I've run out.
I don't have major acne, but I do get the occasional deep pimple (the painful, cystic kind) due to hormones, etc (yay!). No matter what I do, they last for ages, are really painful, and nearly always leave a bit of redness in their wake. Hate 'em! Fortunately they're not a daily battle for me, but I do get them every now and again.
This gel treatment works well on normal breakouts in terms of drying them out and helping them to heal faster. However, I find that it usually leaves me with more redness than usual, which can take weeks or months to fade away on my skin.
In terms of the deep, cystic spots, I don't think that this does anything much for them. It definitely doesn't stop them from progressing, and again, it seems to emphasize redness.
On top of all of that, it is drying enough that I usually get some dry, flaky patches around any breakouts if I use it - and it's not fun to conceal that without it looking cakey and awful!
So, overall, not a fan. However, I still use it occasionally for a quick fix on normal breakouts if they're really bothering me. Wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for a really deep-action spot gel.
Tips: If you want to try and get rid of a cystic spot quicker than it normally heals by itself, try dabbing it with a bit of apple cider vinegar before you go to bed - that works way better in reducing the size/pain for me, and it's also a lot cheaper than this!
