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

i used this for a week and my acne dramatically decreased

Uh first of all, don't discredit this because my name is The Mighty Thor. I just felt like putting that. This product is basically, like some have said, a good thing to hold you over until your Dan's BP gel has arrived. I should mention that mine hasn't arrived yet, so I've never actually used it (Dan's, not this) so I can't truly say that it's better but from what I've heard it solves most of the problems this one has. First of all: of COURSE it dries up your skin, anyone who's complaining about that should, I don't know, USE A MOISTURIZER. simple as that. Your skin might feel tight at first but it will go away. Also, it will ball up a bit (especially where the layre of product stops on your face, i.e. jawline, lips, end of nose, etc.) which is kind of a pain but pretty worth the effects until you get a better product. Also, be sure to be gentle, like the regimen says.

I find this is a great product for my existing acne, especially since the BP level is just 2.5% I've used SA products in the past, but they seem to lose their effectiveness on me after a while. This just keeps working, and it keeps my cystic acne at bay.

This is not a miracle cure for acne even if you use it in a regimen. Those of us with hormonal acne still break out with it. Also, it gave my skin a lot of redness that, although would eventually fade, was annoying to deal with. Even though i used it faithfully, i would still always have new acne bumps to deal with, especially on my cheeks. It seemed to have upset the oil balance on my face. Now that i haven't used BP regimen in over a month, the agravatting pimples on my cheeks are gone, in their place are small milia on my forehead from the BP. I do not recommend this product because of it's potential health hazards. It is currently on the FDA's list of products that they have not evaulated as either safe or unsafe, due to studies that suggest BP is a tumor causing agent. Also, just to let everyone know, cosmetic/face care companies never have to have their products evaluated by FDA. So watch out and don't use BP more than you have to until its true effects are known.

i just had an allergic reaction but if you aren't sensative it's probably good because i haven't had a pimple since i started using it.

It may work for some people just not for me and i am still looking for something that will work.

After about aweek of using this product, my skin appeared really dry and flaky. It felt the same way too. It appers that this problem is also effecting some other people who responded. The way I stopped this was by using Cetaphill before using the On-the-spot. Now my skin looks better than ever.

It works well, but it drys your so it's all flaky and gross. Make sure you have a moisturizing cream when using.

This is the worst spot treatment I've ever used, my skin is dry, red and irritated, and the pimples are still there, for me it did not work, now I have to wait probably months until my skin gets better

Holds you over until Dan's bp gel arrives.
