This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

I am not really prone to acne but do have to pay special attention to spots as my part-European part-Asian skin is susceptible to temporary but pretty visible blemishes when injured. This product dries those pesky pimples out and they'll be gone after a few days of use. It applies, looks, and smells like correction fluid (do you kids nowadays even know what that is?), small brush and all. The only disadvantage I see is the main ingredient, ethanol, which fumes may briefly sting the eyes when applied near the eye area; I recommend strongly against using this on the upper or lower eyelids. The solution's liquid paper-like appearance means that you'll have notable white streaks where applied and its recommended to use overnight. The formula has been overhauled recently and no longer shows up white but sadly also contains less of the good stuff – most notably the glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract is missing – and people have reported much less efficiency.
