Was looking for something to help with cystic acne, this one is definitely not the answer. I have noticed that applied on regular acne, it does cause the sebum to surface and form white head/pus at which point it's easier to pop. NOT THAT I RECOMMEND DOING THAT! But sometimes, it's just much easier to pop it and have it heal than slowly recede. But I digressed, this one's not that great for anything... Skip this one and look at tea tree oil or something.
