This product is a must-have, especially for oily, acne prone skin. I have combination oily/dry skin that takes a lot of work to get it acne free and properly moisturized. I tried the Mario Badescu drying lotion before this one and it didn't work as well. It helps heal and get rid of pimples faster than any acne product I've ever tried. I usually use it overnight and try to sleep on my back so none of it flakes off on my pillow or sheets. If it does it's not a bIg deal though because it doesn't stain and washes right out. One of the first things I noticed after washing it off is how much it reduced the redness and irritation. The best thing about this product is that it doesn't dry your skin out and cause it to flake off like most benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products. This product is $25 for a 0.5 fl oz. bottle, but it's worth it because it works.
