I don't know that I can say it is as good as Dry-Lo, but it is good. I also find that it does not provide much coverage so I mixed it with my "Summer Bisque" from another line and now I get the treatment I need and the coverage I want. Like Dry-Lo it has a sulfur smell and if you can get past that, I think you will find that it is effective in helping clear up spots especially during the day when Dry-Lo is inappropriate.
