i got a sample of it too! It is indeed amazing. It's good for getting rid of pimples overnight fast! Not the best smell but hey at least it works!

I recently discovered www.MarioBadescu.com where you can complete a consultation online and a few days later receive an email asking if you would like to receive samples. The samples are free, you do not pay shipping and handling and they come with instructions on how, when and where to apply. Mario Badescu gives you the opprotunity to try the products they recommend for you prior to you spending a ton of money on something that may or may not work for your skin type.

I first got this as a sample and it blew me away- it is the only thing I have ever used that has actually eliminated my pimples overnight :-D YAAAAAY!! This works way better than any salicyclic acid gel or cream. The sample lasted forever, too, because all you need is a small dab on the spot. I've never been happier with a product! the only bad part is that it is very white when you put it on and there's no blending it so you have to use it at night (or else work very hard to cover it up during the day)

This is the ONLY product that I've found that lives up to all of its claims. It does in fact "kill" zits overnight and makes those really stubborn ones seem much less apparent. The only problem I have is with the application. Since you are not supposed to shake it, I find that the typical Q-Tip isn't long enough to reach the pink calamine and talc combo at the bottom. I suggest getting the long cotton-swabs from either the cosmetics counter or the kind that are used in doctors' offices. Either way, it's a small inconvenience to pay for a miracle product.
