Neutrogena : On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula)

I bought this product out of pure desperation, I was attending an important event the day I purchased it and had a few pimples on my right side. I quickly applied it in the morning about an hour later I noticed a lot of the redness had gone away and so had some of the swelling. Leaving behind just dark slight bumps where the pimples were. It did over dry the skin when I used a thick amount across my cheek (since I have acne all over it), so be aware of that since it is Benzoyl Peroxide. Anyways it calmed down my acne for that day and a few weeks after, but it did not eliminate it, in fact after a couple of weeks it got somewhat worse. So i stopped using it. I do recommend this product for people with mild acne, but if your acne is more on the severe side (like mine) you should probably use something else.

I am kind of iffy on this product. I have mild acne, usually only experiencing break outs the week prior to my period. I found that while this product did in fact dry out the pimple, it would often leave my skin red and irritated, almost impossible to conceal with makeup, which was often more embarrassing than the breakout itself. It was also very drying, leaving my skin flaky in treated areas. Basically, the product may help reduce the size and longevity of your pimple, but battling the redness and dry skin is almost worse.

It does not burn my face and I feel great using it. It dries quickly My face only started do burn, when I put my first moisturizer on after this dries.

I mean it did make some of my acne go away but i was still left with marks. I bought this at a local Walgreens and it was okay because unlike all the other products i used, it did not dry out my skin.

it completely irritated my skin dried it out left huge red marks made little spots on my skin into huge blemishes and i just used it one time..this stuff is horrible..although im a huge fan of neutrogena this stuff is sh*t I warn evryone to test it on a small spot then use it on your face to see if it works..it usually reacts to the skin in a day or two I hate this stuff

It's a good product, clears skin well...But applying it is a pain in the a$$, I wish it was a little more light and spreaded better....I would reccomend Dan's BP Gel!!!

I started using this product over night, it cleared up my acne for a while but then it started to make my skin feel dry. I figured it was doing its job and I expected some dryness and flaking so I just used extra moisturizer. Then my mom pointed out that my skin looked almost burnt in a very unhealthy way. I was switching this product with a different benzoyl peroxide product. I'm not sure if this made a difference, but after stoping on the spot acne treatment the burnt skin went away.

Yes it is cheaper and more readily available than determatalogist prescription gels, but Epiduo or Differin (prescriptions) work better. However, it is the best working of the over-counter ones I have tried, and I use it between appointments if I run out of Epiduo.

it was fine, not great, not horrible....i borrowed it from my aunt, and it didnt come out very well from the tube...but...yeah, i wouldnt buy it

I am 14 years old and i just started to get a lot of acne on my forehead and above my lip. I found Dan's website and i decided to try this out. I like the Neutrogena On-the-Spot treatment but it makes my skin very flaky even when I moisturize. What i use: 1) Cetaphil cleanser 2)Neutrogena on-the-spot treatment 3)Cetaphil moisturizer
