I have already tried many anti-pimple-pins over the years, but so far I have found no one who has really helped. Either no effect visible or the skin was then extremely red and irritated. This Pimple Swab is the first, the often suppressed pimples at an early stage or helping the disappearing of pimples quickly. The skin is in this case not as irritated as well. I have combination skin (impure T-zone) with a tendency that occasionally form pimples and am 40 years old.
