• It treats cystic acne, a severe type of acne, which is difficult to treat. But if you have this type of acne, consult with the doctor first before using it.

• It helps in treating acne scars by shedding dead skin cells and making scars less prominent.

Limitations

• If you have super sensitive skin consult with your dermatologist before using it

• Be careful while applying its very strong ointment. It may bleach your hair or clothing

• it might lead to skin drying if applied too much, or make skin sensitive.

Note: Consult with a dermatologist before using it.
