I got this in my last haul because I'm hellbent on getting rid of my acne. I tried it both as a whole face treatment and a spot treatment and I have to agree with other users: You can definitely see the power of this formula waaaaay better as a spot treatment. Which IMO is great, because it will last a lot longer. It's not very harsh on the skin which is good because with acne you need to treat skin with a lot of care. For instance, on a picked blemish, it will do one of two things: make it come to a head if it hasn't or vanish the scar by speeding up the healing. Definitely staying on my future Jolse hauls.
