I bought this after reading rave reviews about how great it is for treating pimples. I always seem to have at least one pimple on my face ALL THE TIME... and I always breakout in deep painful cysts during my time of the month. This is my first propolis product. I mainly use it as a spot treatment, so it will last me a while. In those terms, I think it's definitely a great value for the price you pay.  In terms of effects, I am feeling pretty mehh about it... can't really tell if it is doing much for my skin in terms of speeding up acne healing, though it certainly doesn't hurt or seem to break me out. I read that propolis was good for cold sores as well, so I once dabbed some of the a-sol on a cold sore that was starting to form, and surprisingly, it healed pretty quickly and never became full blown blisters. I will probably try out other propolis products or other acne-fighting ingredients instead of repurchasing this. P.S. THANK YOU JOLSE FOR THE COSRX STICKERS!!! :D
