I have recently started having breakouts in my 30's!!! Needless to say its embarrassing. I purchased this clearasil product because it said it would noticably reduce the size and redness of pimples within 4 hrs. It didnt. It took about 3 days of morning and evening use to see a difference. All-in-all it worked about the same as every other blemish treatment i have used......Slowly!
