Does not dispense (pump)
I don't typically buy a product like this so it felt like a splurge honestly (even though it's not that expensive). I see that there are tons of videos online about how to get the product out but it is not working. On the website I see it says twist so maybe the product has been updated since my date of purchase of 12/31. Would not purchase and can't comment on the product as have not been able to get it out of the pen to try it.

Third reorder of Pimple Correct
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this product for several months, and have generally been happy with it.
The pen has changed recently, and I’m not sure if I like it as much as the original.
Also, I would like it if the product was offered in more strengths, as my skin might have acclimated to the product, and I need something a little stronger.

Love ! but new packaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i love this product. i use it all the time for new forming pimples, genuinely put everyone on. I know the previous packaging was very finiscky, but once it got going there was no issues! with this new packaging i do feel it leaks a bit easier? or more so, the twist feature is twisting while it’s in my bag. i do travel with this and apply it throughout the day on an angry pimple lol. I do appreciate trying to change the packaging as it would be difficult to open.

Love it
The twist up pen makes it super easy to just tap it right on the spot. I like that it doesn’t have fragrance or anything harsh. The formula feels strong but not crazy intense. When I put it on a bumpy pimple, it helped calm it down and stopped it from turning into something bigger.
