    I got a free sample of it (a small tub) online from the site to review.

    I liked it a lot when I first got it, it was like a paste, and it WORKED.

    I spread it on my pimples and it got rid of them.

    The active ingredient is the sulfur, but you can get the same effect for cheaper (and more of it) if you just buy the Proactiv Refining Masque instead.

    The Proactiv version is $31 for 2.5 oz and it will last you 2-3 years.

    The only reason why I am not thrilled about it, is because it seemed a bit more chemical-y than the Proactiv (with more ingredients than required), it dried up into a rock hard solid really quickly (adding a bit of water into the pot over night will help soften it back up again), and it's TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get!

    Try Proactiv. Works just as well, is cheaper, and you get more.

    Search my profile and you can read my review on the Proactiv Refining Masque.

    I know... the name sounds horrible, 'drying cream'...i mean who wants to dry their skin out? I was skeptical at first due to that specific reason, but i took a lunge since I'm pretty much in love with all the other products. I find that this product does work to keep the pimples at bay. It's not as strong as a drying lotion or buffering lotion. But for those small areas that are prone to acne, you can apply this and it usually helps. It's also great if you picked a pimple, there's sort of an open wound but you can still feel 'stuff' coming. Since drying lotion with alcohol in it will probably sting like crazy, this works! It doesn't sting. However my favorite use for this to apply a really thin layer after my moisturizer. I then apply my primer and proceed to my usual routine. I find that this works great to prevent pimple and clog pores from makeup or the weather. I barely feel it. Also, it has a light white tint. So for those really really faint scars i have, i apply this and i don't even need concealer. I can't say enough about this product. There's only one place in Toronto that i know that sells it, and i always mission to go get it. definitely try it out! The only con is the super duper awful smell, but hey, for better looking skin, i'll suck it up : )
