Review 2 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Not Worth the money
-04.01.13
The Eradikate works better in my opinion, it shows overnight results and the pimple punisher does not. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and seen no improvements.

Review 3 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
packaging IS a problem...product is just okay
-01.05.13
Before the application tip broke off into the cap, I used the PM product fairly frequently - I found the AM product was useless, though the gel felt nice going on and did dry clear - but I thought the PM product was slightly more effective, and on my very pale skin, it easily blended in and was invisible on bare skin or under foundation, making it a decent daytime alternative to EradiKate. However, when the tip broke off the PM side, I only had a few more days of use before the product dried out. Please note I had been pretty careful to not over-tighen the caps. I liked the PM product for daytime coverage over my active pimples, but I won't buy this again.

Review 4 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Not impressed
-10.21.12
I got this product so I could use the AM part under makeup for pesky zits that popped up overnight. To say the least all it did was make it crusty under my foundation. Girl at Sephora said that was how it pulls the bacteria out. Gross. Returned a week later and was recommended the Peter Thomas Roth Acne Spot Treatment. Totally works 100% better!!!

Review 6 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
packaging is awful!
-10.03.12
I like the clay-based spot treatment and think it works fairly well, but this product gets 1 star because the packaging is terrible and broke (several others have commented on this too). It snapped off with the applicator tip inside the cap, so I had to throw away the "day time" side - total waste. I was super careful with it too after reading all the other comments. Please fix the packaging!!!!

Review 7 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
It might be effective...
-08.12.12
...but I wouldn't know because after using it for 2-3 weeks and seeing average results the part you screw into the "cap" broke off on the PM side and then two days latter the same for the AM side. Save your money and buy a better designed product.

Review 8 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Product Good. Packaging Bad.
-06.25.12
The products work really well for me. Anyone who thinks a massive pimple will clear up in one day is joking themselves. But these products, especially the PM, definitely move it in that direction quickly without irritation. I've had luck with piling the clay on my skin vs. rubbing it in. The AM is great for treatment when you need a clear product. I thought the packaging would be great for my frequent travels, but I was mistaken. The ends just snap off leaving the tops open to air, bacteria, and spillage. The PM product is a lifesaver for an emerging large breakouts, but I won't buy again until the issues with the packaging are fixed or these are separate products.

Review 9 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Does not work as well as Eradikate
-04.06.12
Did not get rid of my blemish as quickly as I thought. The pink Eradikate, which was the one I really wanted to buy but the sales guy steered me towards this one, works 10 times better.

Review 10 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Meh
-03.30.12
I love Kate Somerville products and wanted to try this one out--what a disappointment! The cap broke after the first week and it doesn't really work that well. Kate's other pimple product (the pink one) is wayyy better at healing zits.

Review 11 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Soso
-03.06.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
I have many scarring from acne for years, any acnes or pimples I get would always leave me horrible discoloration and uneven surface on my face. I used proactiv for 6 years and I cannot go out of the house without foundation on because my face was horrible, red and scarred and bumps. I have only used this for less than a month and my face is 90% flawless now and I love it, all the previous scars are fading away. (you have to use the entire system, I used the detox daily cleanser, then clarifying treatment toner, then the anti bacterial lotion, and lastly, the oil free moisturizer)
On top of my daily regime I use the eradikate or 24 hours pimple punisher whenever a pimple pops up, I find the eradikate works better though. And it is $22 compared to this at $28.

Review 12 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
-02.16.12
Quick Take: intensive
I really like this product. It goes on easy, and seems to work. It really dries out your skin, so it is important to only apply it to affected areas. Might cause too much drying on sensitive skin, but other than that, a great product for the price.

Review 13 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Packaging is fine
-01.27.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
The packaging is handy, you can keep both products together. But the Pimple Punish-er is not at all what I expected. My acne was unaffected. It didn't cause more acne, but it also didn't dry up or heal quickly. This is a routine product, not a 24 hour product which the name implies.

Review 14 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
LOVE !LOVE!
-01.11.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
I love this stuff. I use it when I have occassional breakouts. The AM takes the redness away and the PM helps fight at night. I have super sensitive skin, so I am very cautious when using skin care products. My skin acted extremely well with this cream and I did not have any adverse reactions which is not typically the case. I would highly recommend this product

Review 15 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Worst packaging I have ever encountered...EVER!
-01.02.12
Quick Take: horrible packaging
I didn't get to see if I like this product, the tubes (meaning both AM and PM tube) broke off the connecting cap within 1 week!!! And I don't "man-handle" my skin care, quite the opposite, I keep it stored neatly in a sanitary container far out of reach of my 4 year old. I am also very careful to not contaminate or break my products, most are not cheap.
Cost is especially true with this brand. A lot of Kate's products are pretty pricey, not so much this product in particular, but I expect better quality control when I am purchasing from a skin care line of this caliber.
On a positive note, I have five other products from her line, some I am on my second or third purchase. I only repurchase if I really really like something, and see a real improvement in my skin.

Review 17 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
It really is a Pimple Punisher!
-12.25.11
Quick Take: gentle formula, intensive, fast acting
So I already knew I loved Kate Somerville products, and this one hasnt disappointed! I seriously love the AM and PM version! I like her EradiKate but you can only use it at home before bed or if you arnt gonna leave the house. The clear gel really works to kill any zit and with the 1, 2 punch with the night version it really does the trick! After a day the pimple is down to a red spot and is usually completely gone after 2-3 days! LOVE IT!!! It is alittle pricey for the size but it makes up for it in potency!

Review 18 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
Great product. Needs better packaging.
-12.25.11
Quick Take: gentle formula
The 24 hour pimple punisher is great. At night I use EradiKate, then add the PM clay on top of it. Works very well that way! My only problem was the packaging. The tip to the AM broke off in the lid! Other than that I highly recommend this.

Review 19 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
The packaging is awful
-12.13.11
Quick Take: gentle formula
I haven't noticed anything exceptional about this acne treatment. For the price I would have hoped it would atleast shrink a blemish overnight, but I didn't see any difference. To make matters worse, the bottles share the same cap and it is very hard to screw in. I was always very gentle, but after about two weeks of usage both pointed tops (where the product comes out) broke off completely and I can no longer put the cap on either. I would not bother buying this product.

Review 20 for 24 Hour Pimple Punisher™
-10.31.11
I love this duo! I usually only end up using the PM side, but the AM gel dries quickly and is invisible under my makeup. It's a bit pricey, and the results could probably be acheived with two separate salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide options, but the convenience of having both in one tube is great, especially for travel.
