Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Its 2% salicylic acid penetrates deep into cystic pimples, reaching the oil gland to dry them up even when they haven't surfaced. It's a leave-on gel that works all over the face or as a spot treatment, and reviewers note it has niacinamide to regulate oil and performs similarly to pricier competitors but at roughly half the cost.
