Extremely satisfied with results

This has been one of my go-to products for breakouts for almost 15 years. I roll it on over blemishes, and no matter what sort they are, this helps within like an hour or two. The breakouts become smaller and less painful. I'm not sure it helps much with redness, and it's less effective on those awful big deep breakouts that hurt a lot, but I'm not sure anything is super effective on those. I always have one of these on hand. It does seem as though, if I overuse it, my skin adjusts to it and it becomes less effective, but if I stop using it for a few days/a week and go back to it, it works like a charm again. I alternate this with the e.l.f. spot gel to keep my skin from getting to used to it, and I like that too but this is more natural and has a better texture on the skin (once it dries, it's like nothing is there).This is alcohol-based, so it will sting for a few seconds over broken or irritated skin, but I have very sensitive skin and tons of allergies (literally, my allergist is fascinated by me) and I've never had a problem with this--check the ingredients, though, if you have trouble with natural products. It smells strongly of tea tree oil, which I don't mind. The smell fades pretty quick. If going around your nose, you might breathe in the alcohol smell for thirty seconds or so, but it does go away once the alcohol evaporates. I wouldn't put it too close to your eyes for that reason, though I have used it around my brows without a problem. Highly recommend.

Doesn't sting but did help my children keep blemishes banished for a while. It smells lovely like fennel seeds. It doesn't burn going on your skin. My teen uses this at bedtime and loved it so much we got a two pack to replace it. This doesn't leave your skin feeling oily but rather refreshed. I would buy this again!

Knowing there are clean ingredients not chemicals is a Plus! Plant based products are literally the ONLY item our Faces require.

Acne since I was a teenager and I'm now middle aged and still have it. Yep, good times. But I know when something is good for preventing the cystic acne from appearing or at least reducing its size. This is the absolute best thing I've ever found. Works without fail. To be clear this is best when applied to a zit that is forming, not a whitehead but it will work to help reduce time/healing for those too. I've used tea tree formulas before but this applicator is so easy to use. Just make sure to always use in clean skin so you don't contaminate the ball. I guess you could try "washing" the ball with a little soap on your finger but I haven't done this.

I am in my 40's and still deal with breakouts a lot more often than I should have to. I see a dermatologist regularly, have tried just about everything from diet changes to cleansers to Proactiv, to prescriptions. Some would work for a little while and then stop. Proactiv made it worse. I have very sensitive skin and have to be careful what I use and eat. I gave up dairy a long time ago and have to watch my sugar intake. As soon as I started using this, I noticed a difference. I use this twice a day. It does have a strong smell (licorice and other herbal smells), which I acutally like. It also can sting/burn a bit, but for those of us who are looking for something that actually works, it's a good feeling. I waited about two months before posting a review to see if the results were consistent, and they are. I wish I had known about this years ago. Natural usually works best for me anyway. I also use the Republic of Tea's "Get Gorgeous" twice a day which helps with my overall skin clarity.

I had originally gotten it for my facial skin care, and used it on a mosquito bite one time because of the the tea tree oil in it, and now I have these stocked everywhere for bug bites. We live in Louisiana, mosquitoes are the state insect i think. One time I had over twenty mosquito bites on my legs and applied the roller on them and they were relieved and nearly gone within 20 minutes. I keep one accessible for the kids to easily grab at all times now. I even labeled one of the lids by painting it with nail polish to keep for my face care. Wonder worker!

I ordered two because I’ve bought this in the past a few times and I go through them quick because I love the product. However… I received my order and one of the bottles is clearly much lower in product than the other. It seems like this could have been used? I’m going to have to cut my losses and just throw it out just in case. I can’t be bothered spending more money in gas to get to a UPS store to return it when it’s like $7. Plus that’s such a pain for such a small and cheap product. I definitely will not order it on Amazon again. I’ll be going to the store for this one from now on. Super disappointed.
