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

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.

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.

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

And I mean the title of my review* I am 22 now. But I've started getting acne all over my face since I was barely 13 and it's the most worse kind of acne there is. For years, I've been relying unto over-the-counter medications. Nada results. Just recently, my boyfriend from Cali brought 3 tubes of Neutrogena On-The-Spot treatment cream. I started applying it since four months ago. I could say it helps lessen the redness and minimize breakouts though it stings and it burns. But it doesn't stop them from coming back. It just kills them off for a short while. I need something that totally kills the acne like seriously kills it and prevents it from developing again. This product doesn't do just that. Yeah. So cliché.

I used the entire tube but this product did not give me any results. I don't know why i continued using it though, it was probably the smell, or maybe the fact that this was one acne spot treatment that did not leave my skin dry. It was almost like a moisturizer, however it did not remove my acne.

I have very very sensitive skin, and i thought that this was the main culprit of my dryness. I found out it was my cleanser, so i will have to give this stuff a try with my new cleanser and see how it goes! I haven't been seeing that much of a difference in my skin, but i'll keep on keeping on.

I have been in love with this product for a long time, as my skin hasn't been this clear since I was 10. But, the price is taking its toll on me for such a small amount of product and there is always the hope of finding something that gets me completely clear. Great product, and I will continue to use it until Dan's products arrive! If you are hesitant about the regimen, I suggest beginning with this, and if you like what it does for your skin, purchase Dan's products then, they are a MUCH better deal.

This product is definetly not worth the cost. Instead, I use CVS's acne treatment, which is compared to neutrogena on the spot acne treatment. it's less than $4 and just a great product if used right!

Buying the acne.org products will give the same (or bettter) results for a much lower price.
