For Acne "I've been using this product for about 6 months now, and it is great. I noticed that it also prevents breakouts from happening, as well as getting rid of existing breakouts, and it also fades scars due to the bleaching effect. I would not recommend you use this around your eyes or on your eyelids, the product can make them puffy. Also, apply a very thin layer because this product is very drying! As an effect of drying out all the oils, causing clearer skin. Overall, this is a great product, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has acne."

For Acne "Used this for two days only at night. It may have reacted with my usual night moisturizer, but my skin broke out into a red, burning rash. My skin is scaly and itchy. I stopped using this product and hope I am able to find something that won't cause a reaction. It is too bad because there have been some great reviews, although it doesn't work for my skin type at all. It has been over two straight days of burning, red, swollen, and irritated skin on my face. I didn't use a large amount either."

For Acne "I'm 21 years old. I've pretty much hormonal acne on my whole face. My dermatologist recommended this gel, and I've been using it since. The last two weeks, and there's no significant difference. But my acne is becoming inflamed and leaving horrible scars. After reading reviews, I'm a bit hopeful that it will cure my acne."
