amazing and reduces a zit to nothing overnight
MAY 26, 2017
”I had severe acne and this product is a dream come true. I will have the hugest grossest pimple ever and using this will reduce it to a small and not inflamed zit just overnight. For smaller and normal pimples, they completely disappear overnight! This product is a lifesaver and I swear by it. I would recommend it to everyone. I have literally linked it to all my friends telling them to buy it. I just wish they sold it in bigger quantities.”

I had major acne breakout November 2017. I initially signed up with a known skin care clinic to help calm and control my cystic acne. It did not work for me to say the least. My breakout persisted. While searching for other topical ointments that I could try, I read a review of this product. I decided to give it a shot because of rave reviews. Bought one last May 27, 2018. Fast forward 2 weeks later, most of my cystic acne has dried up and were more manageable. It worked on me. This ointment worked wonders and has now become a staple in my beauty arsenal. I haven’t used up the entire tube yet. I don’t breakout as much anymore, except on the few days before my red day. But those are not cystic acne but the usual small pimple due to hormonal changes. I have other korean products to thank for that but this ointment played a big role in the first step to my true road to acne recovery.
about 2 months agoI had this huge pimple that won't go away. Even my friend one day said it was so big and she just didn't want to say anything until I said something about it. Anyway, I bought this and tried it. For just the first try, my pimple dried up! You can see the effects right away! I used it again for the 2nd and 3rd night...my HUGE pimple was dried up and the "eye" of the pimple was almost falling off. Another huge plus for me is the smell. It smells lovely that helps me fall asleep.
5 months agoIt works better with smaller pimples. Leave it on overnight and it’s good as gone in the morning. But please don’t use it on giant zits. I used this for a week on a giant zit and I didn’t like the result. The acne itself did not finish its usual cycle (growing an “eye” to popping and then drying to healing and becoming another dark spot then scar) instead, it just stayed in a red (not-so-inflamed-but-you-can-still-notice-it) state that won’t dry, grow, disappear, heal or just die! I suffered another week sporting the giant acne before it finally finished its cycle. I’m going to use this is only for small pimples.
6 months agoI have oily to combination skin (at the moment pretty much just oily because it's so hot and humid) and it likes to break out just like that. I tried this product, in combination with the Bija Trouble Face Wash, the Bija Trouble Toner, and the Bija Trouble Lotion, and now, the Bija Trouble Cica Balm. What I did not expect was that it would work. I am a convert to Korean skincare products (about a year now) and I was so shocked to find that my skin didn't have to dry out or flake or peel in order to get rid of my acne. I haven't been to my dermatologist in almost a year. I am big believer in prevention over cure. I religiously apply my skincare morning and night. This Bija Trouble Essence is the real deal. Now that I don't break out as much, I still use a little to put on areas where I normally do break out, and my skin stays clear. Always check your skin for incipient zits, dab a bit on them, and poof! they will be gone the next day. I hope it never gets discontinued!
7 months agoI am happy finding this product. It really heals your spots immediately. I slept with it on my spots waking up in the morning seeing that my pimples are calmed down, no more swelling. A little bit minty and I like this smell. This reduces big pimples like magic. You will really know that it really works after applying it there's a little tingling sensation on the area. I recommend it to tame pimples. :)
7 months agoThis helped me lessen my breakouts and dry up my pimples faster. I can see results as early as 24hrs after application! I usually apply this to inflamed pimples (ones that dont have a head yet) and it helpslessen the swelling and sometimes the pimple would just disappear. It’s a little expensive but it’s a great buy!
