I have been using this product for years! I can definitely say it works overnight! Significantly reduces the size in 24 hours with twice a day use.

I've been hearing about this brand everywhere for a while now, so I decided to try them out. As I grow older I have a lot of dark spots more than pimples, boy does this really work! Fades over time. Can't expect it to work right away.

This is such a great low cost find for acne prone skin! It is a lotion and not a cream. Go's on strong, absorbs shiny areas right away, stays shine free all day, even in the heat!

Best makeup remover wipes I have found. Sudsy, but not overly.  Just enough soap to get the gunk off.  No harsh chemicals, all natural.  CANNOT recommend enough.

I can't say enough good things about this gel for your body if you have acne. So gentle, yet delivers unbelievable results.  No harsh chemicals to irritate skin.

I just started using this on my sensitive, dry face.  After just one day's use(2 washes), the rough patches on my skin are a little less ashy and a little smoother.  And I didn't need to use that much. More of the high end drugstore, but still definitely worth the price.

I'm not really into putting on chapstick consistently, but I really love this one!  Not only is it cruelty free, but the peppermint gives your lips a little tingly sensation.  Kinda like being kissed….by beeswax.

I don't know what is in this badass creme, but it even makes acne prone skin look flawless in just a few days! And BONUS! NOT tested on animals! I will break the bank each and every time to buy this brand, I wish I could buy every product....sigh.

Now this is what I call killing 2 birds with one stone.  I am soooo happy I found this!  First of all, I LOVE Bobbi Brown.  She is so top notch. This face base goes on smooth, smells HEAVENLY, and most of all does NOT leave a greasy residue.  And my foundation has never looked better.

I don't know how I ran into this cleanser or what I did on this earth to find it, but holy cow! I absolutely, positively love it!! If you struggle with acne, please try this.  I know it's super expensive, but it's worth every penny.  I pinky promise.
