This cream should be applied directly to the pimple and it reduces the pimple considerably. It makes a pimple disappear more quickly. However, it leaves a white trace on the skin, which is why it is better to apply it in the evening.
Very nice product. I suffer a lot of impurities. I apply it to the unflattering red spot and after a while my skin is less irritated. Basically it is advised to apply this before bedtime. But I find it more convenient to apply during the day.
