I don't know. I have only seen it mentioned in this post:

Beautezine | 6 Zit Zappers for Clear, Beautiful Skin this Fall
hmmm - I use Shiseido's salicylic acid gel when I get a cystic breakout…it works almost too well, because rather than just soothing the swelling under the skin, it wants to dry up every drop of sebum and infected matter in there, sometimes causing the blemish to hurt more and stick around longer as it brings it all to the surface like a tractor beam. It totally clears it out, though, rather than just masking the eruption or just drying the outer layer. The only problem with the Shiseido one is it's in a squeeze bottle that always squeezes out twice as much as I need for just one zit and this is a product you do not want to over-apply, so I wind up wasting some of it.

Seems like the MAC one might have a little better applicator for more controlled application, plus it's the same price as Shiseido. If it comes out, I might get a tube of it when I run out of my bottle of Shiseido.'

Problem is, mac isn't, and never has been, a treatment line. Granted, their parent company is EL, so they may be getting some product ideas from EL, but i wouldn't trust mac with a any products they haven't had any experience with, especially with ones they tout themselves as being a company that doesn't carry.

Whatever happened to those 'toothbrushes' that were supposed to be released?
They're being released late fall :wink:

My young daughter got a Verve magazine flyer at school this week and she claims it has something about MAC having a Hunger Games Book 2 (forget what it's called) launch this fall. I didn't get to see the mag and she might have it all mixed up, but has anyone heard about that?

I was never into MAC skincare, but I ADORE the Mineralize eye cream - it's done more for my eyes that many other products twice the price, so now I'm more open to new stuff they may come out with.

I've always used their skincare, and it's always worked fantastically for me, but skincare isn't the same as treatment products. Mac has always had skincare, but has never had any treatment products, so this will be their first one. I'm wondering if it got squashed :dunno:

Do you use treatment products? Which brands do you like?

Thank you.
