my son (16) has used it. It works but is quite strong. Can make skin red and inflamed at the beginning. If it does, stop using it for a bit and go back to it once redness has gone. He uses it at night, a thin layer wherever spots are and it does clear them.

how long does it take for it to clear them up?

I use this! I'm 25 and had an acne flare up after DD. It took about 2 weeks to clear and I think it's great!

Be careful with fabrics though, I got some on a t-shirt and it bleached it. Might also be worth using an old pillow case at night.

daughterofthem whatever did you do? If my DD was helping people out on MN as a punishment she'd talk them to death , anyways DDs skin is clearing up really nicely with just the occasional outbreak from time to time.
