Review: It is very effective and does work on skin white heads that are very stubborn and hard to get rid off. Recently my forehead area is getting more than few whiteheads and also large pores, I only used 3 times and has seen results. Fast and effective and also with very little irritation which I am very happy cause I got mildly sensitive skin. For very sensitive skin, I recommend once in every three days or so, but do make sure to test patch it in your arm. Which I did at the back of my hand.
Review: Excellent product! Slightly expensive but worth the money spent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work on milia**
A: This has worked for most of small milia but for the one I had to get it extracted at the dermatologist. I like to use this and then occasionally the la roche posey effaclar duo because I think the benzoyl peroxide helps too. If you start retinol, your milia should start to decrease to. I’m going to start trentonin in the winter

**Q: Does this work on red/pink acne scars?**
A: Yes, it has helped fade my post acne hyperpigmentation very well. Be patient, it's not an overnight miracle, but definitely will make a difference with consistent use. Good luck! :)

**Q: Will mi skin get red throughout several days with the first use, as peeling my skin?**
A: I didnt find that it did anything at all. Total waste of money.

**Q: is this product supposed to be white or clear? Mine is mostly clear, but occasionally a white blob comes out.**
A: It should be clear.

*by S***N on 12 July 2015*

Amazing product !! This product worked better than my $2000.00 worth of laser treatments. Really ! I bought this product to treat Sebaceous Hyperplaisia. The laser treatment worked but I had to keep going back for more treatments to treat remaining spots. I saw the great reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. The results are truly amazing. It shrunk the spots to almost nothing and I used it on my nose for large pores. The pores are very tiny now and I could not br happier. I use one quick pump of the product on to my palm, them with my index finger I take a tiny bit and put it directly on the Sebacous Hyperplaisia spots. With what is left over I smooth it over my nose. The Sebacous Hyperplaisia shrinks down to almost invisible, no more bumpy skin. This condition, SH can not be cured, it is a pore that has been damaged and will never recover. It is very likely that the treatment will need to be used in a continous routine. But, with the results having it as part of my regular skin care is a no brainer. The consistancey is unlike anything else I have ever used. It feels oily. I only use a tiny bit each time so the cost is not so bad. P.S. I am rarely impressed with cosmetic treatments this is the first one that really surprised me. Thanks Paula
