Not a good product for Acne! I have used it for about one month and I see the acne get worst. The price is way to high, for such a little bottle.

I used this product for a little while before I saw my dermatologist..it over dried my skin and usually only put a protective film around the pimple but the pimple was still there underneath.. I got a perscription for Tazorac 0.1% cream...this stuff really works although it is a bit pricey if u have health insurance they should cover it if not get ready to pay a pretty penny...It will end to dry out the area but it does work well after a feww months u really dont have much acne left maybe a pimple here and there , but if you guys use this acne regimen witht he tazorac u are guaranteed to have great skin.. I am speaking from experience..This is my second acne relapse only because I wasnt ale to get an new prescription intime...but for the time i did have it my ski was so clear my friends were asking me what i had done...I am telling u all..the right cleanisng regimen and the right acnew medication will clear your skin ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Good Luck every one

it dosent seem to work very well and dried my skin out too much. spots didnt seem go away but came back worse than ever. i would not recomend using this product. but my skin is now blemish free thanks to ketsugo spray which u can buy frm boots, superdrug, loyds chemists for around £10. i recommend buying this product it is fantastic and has changed my life. i also reccomend going to a chinese herbal medicine shop. they have a great product there for £15. you just go into the shop and tell them the problem and they will find a treatment thats right for you. another good product is garnier pure blemish gel. It works a treat. Also give loreal pure zone products a try. They are agreat buy. I dont reccomend using shops own brands like asda or tesco as they dont work at all and agrovate the problem. I hope i have been a help to you nad wish u good luck in fighting them blemishes for totaly pure sexy skin thats touchable huggable and kissable. Now you can let your boyfreind kiss you all day and night without worring about spots!

Hands down, this should be the second option after the benzoyl peroxide gel 2.5% that you can purchase at [link removed]. Neutrogena On-the-Spot Treatment is much more drying, irritating and expensive.

It works. It does what it is suppose to. However, at $5 for only 0.75 oz. that is not enough.

I have been using this product for 5 days and I can already see a large improvement in the condition of my skin. However, I have noticed that it tends to give your skin a burning sensation and dries out your face tremendously. It applies to your skin fairly well and takes a short time to absorb. Use a good moisturizer with this product. The Neutrogena moisturizer works very well with it. I highly recommend this product!

I absolutely love it! It is gentle on my sensitive skin and it keeps my oily skin under control and it clears my acne just as good as a 10% minus the irritation and redness.

Works well enough, but I wonder if it aggravates my oily skin. And I realised that the pimple subsides but doesn't actually "go away". It stays hidden and I will get a pimple on that very same spot again!
