Connor Cliche 3 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I've been a user of Acne.org's products, resources, and information for about three years now. Never been clearer! I've been fine-tuning my personal regimen to tailor it to my specific needs, all while keeping Dan's universal regimen as a base. It has worked flawlessly.However, even though some of us are 99-100% clear, there still are a few problematic pimples that squeeze themselves in every once in a while. I've been using Clean & Clear and Neutrogena's Spot Treatments for just under a year (it takes me roughly 6 months to finish one little tube, since you don't often need much at all). They don't really do much at all... or so I haven't noticed?I remember Dan talking about a possible spot treatment that was salicylic-acid based. Is there anything currently in the works? Or is there anything Dan himself can/does recommend for spot treatment? I have used Polysporin in the past, but it's comedogenic and clogs pores, which kind of worries me that it's doing more harm than not.Thanks a lot Acne.org! I really appreciate your help, yet again.Connor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly75 473 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I don't use the regimen or the acne.org products but I do remember hearing that the acne.org AHA can be used as a spot treatment. You can check out a video of Dan showing how it's used as a spot treatment I don't know if there are any others in the works or not though.

clambak3 49 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I really love Dan's AHA+ even though I don't use the regimen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cliche 3 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ah, I already use AHA+ religiously! I have the 16 oZ bottle. It lasts me a while. It's a lifesaver but I don't think it fairs out well as a spot treatmen! Thank you so much though, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergirl22 55 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) I was wondering the same thing. I came across this blog post about a spot treatment in the works back in 2010.http://www.acne.org/...pot-treatments/ Edited August 25, 2012 by gingergirl22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripon10 47 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) My esthetician used to tell me to spot treat by putting a dab of BP on, let it dry, and then apply sulfur on the top. That worked when I used BP. Now I just use AHA, and it seems to work as a spot treatment. The normal application should be a thin coat. Try dabbing it on a bit thicker a couple times a day and see how that works on your spots.

Johnny199r 7 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I found Aha did nothing for me as a spot treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theanasofie 0 Share Posted November 26, 2012 If you live in Canada, try neostrata's oil free smoothing lotion. It's 10percent AHA. Works very well as a spot treatment for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1990 17 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I use aztec indian healing clay mix it with a bit of apple cider vinegar. Works very good for spot treatments, it will dry out the pimple after 2 application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
