Reviews Summary
Customers say this spot treatment works quickly on blemishes, often showing improvement overnight. Many reviews mention reduced redness and swelling after application. The green-tinted formula helps visually counteract redness. While most find it effective for quick results, some note a strong smell that lingers. Reviews indicate it works particularly well on fresh breakouts, though results can vary with deeper blemishes. Some users appreciate its gentle formula, while others report slower progress.
