So I have mild acne and just bought the Neutrogena Oil-Free acne wash, and it seems really good. However, I also bought the Neutrogena Acne Spot Treatment, and I washed my face, dried it off and then put on the spot treatment, within 30 seconds of putting it on, my skin turned red and it stared burning. Should I stop using this, and if so, what should I use?(I have oily/sensitive skin)

Burning is never good. Perhaps use a gentle cleanser then acne spot treatment. Or just the wash and moisturizer. Your skin can't tolerate acne treatments in both the wash and treatment.

You might be allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, one of my friends tried the acne.org regimen for 1 month. She persevered even though her face is bright red and swollen, but at the end she couldn't take it, the BP was just too harsh for her.

Do you think that "Thayers lemon witch hazel" would work?
