I purchased this product because I was eager to get something for myself that works. Normally, my acne will be recovered within two or three weeks. This product is very effective in getting the time down to three or four days. It is a powder that is saturated in a solution. After applying fainlise on the infected area, it will dry out leaving only a white powder on your skin. This powder drys the oil and form an antibacterial layer on your skin. I usually apply this product before I go to sleep for the full effectiveness.
