cute packaging but not the easiest to get the gel out [SEP] the syringe packaging is cute but that is also a downfall i thought i had a defective one since nothing was coming out the plunger on the syringe does not press down all the way as one would expect it goes down less than using a click pen there is no way to open the thing up to get the gel out either i almost gave up but i kept clicking and finally the gel was coming out i applied it to a pimple nights in a row but unfortunately nothing happened i am not sure if i did not have the right type of pimple since it never came to a head and it is more cystic i will try again on a different type of pimple the gel is best used at bedtime because it leaves a slightly sticky feeling on the pimple instructions say to apply it directly to the pimple and not to spread it each night that i used it i had to continuously press the plunger only for a tiny amount of gel to come out who knows how much product is actually in the tube
