tried it today
this stuff works, i used it for the two whiteheads i had gotten overnight. i dabbed a little bit on and in a couple hours it had shrunk in size a lot, i applied again and it was dried up and gone within 2 hours. it works, you just have to give it time, its not instant magic.

Pros:

-reduces redness in less then 4 hours
-cheaper then other products
-helps from more acne from coming
-works better if you only use clean & clear products

Cons:

-stings for about 5 seconds (but that's how you know it works)
-may run out fast
-if you use makeup over the blemish let the product dry before use or else when you put the make up on it will rub off the makeup and product.

This product will work a lot better if you use clean and clear ONLY. This product works great! I use it everyday and it really helps. If it is combined with another product if may cause a redness that will go away in a day

Pros:

Reduces redness of blemishes/pimples
Dries out pimples that have popped
When instructions are followed, its a miracle gel

Cons:

Absolutely nothing

Follow the instructions on the tube and honestly this will be your best friend. Most cons say it smells bad or it stings.. Anyone who suffers from moderate-severe breakouts will disagree, and the stinging only happens if you pop the pimple/blemish before applying the gel. Soap does the same thing to an "open cut". I've been suffering from mild adult acne for the past year, and honestly this has changed my life drastically. I've been to dermatologists, drs etc, no1 had a cure and believe me, I've bought every single product out there so spending $11.00 compared to $50+ every month is like xmas came early!!! I have extremely sensitive skin and am allergic to the entire world (getting older sucks man! I used to not have to worry about what I used on my face/diet) and this product has changed my face in literally under 3 days.

Pros:

It seemed to lighten my pimples and reduce the size. They looked noticeably smaller.

Cons:

Stings when you first apply it to your skin.

This is a good product for those who do not usually get pimples/have acne. I think if a person with severe acne used this, it may be very painful because it stings. I like this and I have it on my face right now!

Impressed

Pros:

Smells good
Improvements seen by next day

Cons:

Stings, but that's how you know it's working

I have moderate acne; with breakouts that occur every month. This product really helped with the pimple size, swelling & redness all by the next day. I was impressed by this product and would reccomend it.

Pros:

works
inexpensive
easy to find (I've seen it at target, cvs, and walmart)
small packaging (easy to throw in a backpack, purse, or gym bag)

Cons:

Takes a few days to clear up the pimple (does speed up the process though)
Stings a little (but not badly)

Great if you get the occasionally pimple or two and don't want to target your entire skincare routine towards acne.

Pros:

See results the next day
Goes on clear
Doesn't smell super bad
Works well overnight
Dries out the acne fast

Cons:

Just stings a little bit but nothing to really complain about

I've tried so many acne spot treatments and this one is definitely by far the best one I've EVER used! I've been using it for about 2 years and it still works just as good as the first time I used it :D I would recommend this product to everyone who's looking for a fast and effective way to get rid of acne! Best if used overnight :) Definitely worth it!!

Pros:

Works Fast
Cheap
No Foul Odor

Cons:

Temporarily Burns
Product Does NOT Work unless....

I've had severe acne on my cheeks for years & despite the great reviews, this product didn't work for me. To be sure this product didn't suck, I did a little experiment... No matter how much I washed my face before applying the Spot Treatment at night, I still awoke with severe acne on my cheeks. So then I developed a system: 1. Wash my face 2. Use an Oxy Cleansing Pad to get the excess dirt 3. Apply Spot Treatment to my cheeks 4. Cover Spot Treatment Areas with Square Bandaids to keep bacteria out. The first night I did this, I only covered my right cheek with a band-aid in order to have a more accurate result. The next morning, my right cheek had reduced its swelling & the acne had disappeared instead of resurfacing like it usually does. My left cheek, however, hadn't healed & continued to resurface with acne. The next night, I followed my procedure again but covered both cheeks with a band-aid. The next morning, my severe acne had COMPLETELY disappeared on both cheeks! Since then, I have continued this procedure every night. I now have beautiful skin. So in all, I don't think there is anything wrong with the product, just the procedure in which you use it. Try my procedure out, I'm sure you will be satisfied.
