There were mixed reviews on this sample, some finding it too harsh for their skin while others loved the results. We decided to offer this as a permanent product because it contains beneficial and natural ingredients that heal blemishes.
Oregano (fresh) possesses antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help combat acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness and inflammation associated with blemishes. Parsley (fresh) is rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and chlorophyll, which can help brighten the complexion, reduce hyperpigmentation, and promote overall skin health. Carrot (fresh) Juice contains antioxidants like beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E, which help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. These antioxidants neutralize free radicals, preventing them from damaging the skin cells and contributing to premature aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Fresh Carrot Juice - high in antioxidant properties, and extremely rich in natural
beta-carotene (Vitamins A, B, and E), cancer-fighting properties Greek Yogurt - natural, gentle exfoliant Rice Powder - (super fine) a gentle exfoliant, thickener, absorbent Spring Water - hydrating Fresh Oregano - antibacterial, antiseptic, healing, antioxidant Fresh Parsley - high in chlorophyll and rich in magnesium, used to treat bruising,
anti-itch properties (while skin is healing) Preservative Blend - they do not release formaldehyde Cosmocil CQ (Polyaminopropyl Biguanide) - broad spectrum anti-microbial agent and
antibacterial preservative. Gluconolactone (gluconolactone) - increases cell turnover, stimulates skin growth and repair,
and helps improve the appearance of aging skin. Optiphen (Phenoxyethanol, *Caprylyl Glycol) - is a widely used preservative with antimicrobial properties. It is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms and is considered safe for cosmetics when used within recommended concentrations.
*Caprylyl Glycol: (Caprylyl glycol) is a humectant and skin conditioning agent with some antimicrobial properties. It helps to moisturize and condition the skin while contributing to the product's overall preservation.
I just wanted to take the time and let you know how fantastic the Pimple Punisher Product is. The stuff is absolutely amazing...It gets dry pretty quickly and I have to resist picking or rubbing it off, but I've noticed the longer it stays on undisturbed, the better it works. This works 100 times better than the acne medication that's out there and I feel good about using it due to its ingredients. Please don't ever stop carrying it.... I'm a grateful customer with finally clear skin.

Please don't stop making this.
I just wanted to say thanks for making this product. I have acne prone skin and this works so great on some of the occasional really inflamed deep acne I have. I do have somewhat sensitive skin and at first application, it kinda burns just a tad bit (nothing overwhelming or unbearable) for a few seconds until it dries. But man I can say this is like the benzoyl peroxide of acne products in its natural form. I love it, please don't stop making it.

So far my skin likes this after spritzing with hydrosol. Then I mix a little with sweet almond oil to help seal it in. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out like other products. Thank you!

The skin under my eyes is very sensitive and there are not too many products I can tolerate, but this has never bothered me at all. I keep it in the fridge and it's soothing and moisturizing, and does help somewhat with puffiness.
Thank you for your kind words, Tracey

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
This product has unclogged my pores and smoothed the bumps on my cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my face. It does not work overnight, you need to stick with it for a while but it worked for me!

Superb for Soothing Sunburns
Love this. So simple but effective. I use it daily on my face as it soothes my sensitive skin. Whenever anyone in our family has had too much sun or a sunburn, we use this - it's incredibly soothing and hydrating. Even my picky kiddos happily put it on sun-parched skin.

Work horse in my skin care routine
Work horse in my skin care routine. Have used for years. I spray a few sprays after cleansing on my face, neck, and chest, then use the extra moisture it provides to spread my serum. Resets the ph of my skin, makes everything feel more comfortable, and cost effective. Love it.
