DO NOT shake the bottle. Then take a cotton swab and stick it into the bottle to the bottom and then bring back up. I made a mistake the first time I used it but if you do it the way I explained, it works wonders. It really does work if you want to dry a blemish quickly overnight.
Oldie but Goodie. Still using this on pimples before sleep. Even have a plastic applicator dedicated to use with this. Glad they offer the plastic bottle.
