I’m a sucker for cute product names, especially those that are totally obvious, and the Stopain roll-on relief falls directly into that category.

I had, a few months ago, tried the Bye Bye Blemish acne lotion, which was more like a grainy odd-to-apply sediment that you applied directly to the blemish, instead of as an all-over application, but it was a decent price, and so I wasn’t necessarily afraid to try another …
