![]() And it has nothing to do with the type of pimple either, it's worked and not worked for whiteheads and cystic acne alike, and that makes me not reach for it because I never seem to know if it'll work. Sometimes I'll put it on and a pimple will completely disappear, and sometimes it'll do nothing. I haven't used this for a while, but in general it's decent as a spot treatment for whiteheads and cystic acne My only qualm with it is that it isn't reliable. Not sure if I'm just using it wrong or if I have to use it more consistently, but I am staying away from this stuff! When I put this on my face it draws out whiteheads I never even knew existed, and makes all my pimples bigger and doubles the time it takes for them to go away. I actually bought this, threw it out, and BOUGHT IT AGAIN because i kept hoping the hype would work for me. Aztec clay mask + apple cider vinegar.And I think using it as a toner for as long as I did, while it had limited success as a acne preventative, also wrecked my moisture barrier despite using stratia liquid gold at the time. It can be good as a spot treatment but also seems to damage your skin. So I guess proceed with caution, people obviously have great results from it but make sure you're using it correctly. ![]() In hindsight, while this actually worked pretty well at keeping my skin clear and drying the f out of my pimples, I think it's also the reason why my skin had such a bad freakout after a couple weeks of use. Yes, I fell into the trap of those miracle Youtube videos. It doesn't do jack crap for cystic stuff though, those are coming in no matter how much Effaclar I throw on them. It's also gentle and doesn't seem to burn or sting at all. I love to throw this on when I feel whiteheads forming, and it kind of keeps them from forming or helps them go away a lot faster. I saw this in a random Zoella video of all places, and it's actually amazing for whiteheads. It's like the Mario badescu or Kate Somerville if you're unfamiliar with the brand (it's k beauty) with the pink powder at the bottom and liquid at the top. Have tried it multiple times because the rave reviews got me so so hopeful and doesn't seem to do much of anything for me. Actually saw it in this sub reddit and bought it on amazon straight away. So happy! Haven't tried on whiteheads because I don't have any right now but it's definitely on my radar now. I have no idea how or why this works, but its worth a shot if you've basically tried everything else like me. I popped a hydrocolloid patch (i use the Cosrx) on them the next night and boom, now they're flat. Anyways I left it on overnight and I woke up in the morning morning amazed! This diaper cream had done what none of my acid-pink spot treatment-sulfur-clay mask spot treatments could do, and made all of my horrendous cystic pimples come to a head. ![]() I don't really think it matters what brand you get though so long as it has that zinc oxide. It's the extra-strength Zincofax, the pink box with the baby on the front, and it has 40% white petroleum jelly and 47% zinc oxide. I was at my wits end, none of my spot treatments were doing anything to these gigantic monsters and I figured "how much worse can I make it". I had a brand new box of diaper cream in the back of my skincare cabinet (I think I bought it for a rash or something a couple months ago) and randomly thought "hey, why don't i throw this on my cystic acne pimples".
