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

Use sparingly, dab a bit, then *do not* re-apply for 8 hours. The last few times I've felt a new pimple coming in, I applied a small dot right on the spot. After it soaked in I applied a little califlora calendula gel to combat the skin sensitivity. Overnight my skin looked significantly better, almost no redness and it reduced overall size to a pinpoint--easily covered with makeup. I once applied too often and ended up with peeling skin, the skin from that spot is still healing...3 months later.

This seems to be a good project, but it is pretty hard to apply. If this was a gel instead of a cream, I would love it so much better. It's pretty small and cost a bit much.

This stuff really works. It doesn't clog pores and it clears acne. For me it's like love in a bottle.

put it on 3 times a day, morning, after getting home from work & wash face, then at nite before going to bed. doesn't seem to dry my skin out, does seem to clear up skin quicker than with other medications.

This is good and it works great. I have used it for about 3 weeks and my acne was sooo bad. On my way to the best skin ever.

It dries really fast once on skin so rub it in GENTLY for about 2 minutes or more

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.

It Really helps ! Almost the best product that worked for me .. I only use it for emergencies hhh .. Like when I have a special meeting or an important exam at college .. So I just use it the night before , and sleep assured that the next morning will be a clear start ;)

I love this product! 2.5 percent is perfect. My face was clear with a few pimples here and there while I used Neutrogena Oil Free cleanser with 2% salicylic acid, then a toner with salicylic acid. Right now I am using a clean and clear version, but I'm going back to Neutrogena's stress relief calming toner, I believe it's called. Then I rub a little of this on. My lotion is usually clyndamicine, but that is prescription. When I am being more gentle, I use cetaphil or suave's cocoa butter lotion has been good to me for years. I usually put it on at night but sometimes I use it during the day. I've never had a problem with it under mineral powder makeup. I tried the acne.org regimen and it was good at first but I'm noticing irritation now. I've gone to using their bp and lotion only at night. I use the face wash occasionally. I fine that the salicylic acid wash and toner seems to gently exfoliate my skin, fading the blemishes over time. It's worth a shot. I'm having bad breakouts lately but I think I need to go back to my roots. I am finding my way to my old regimen bit by bit. It's cheaper and tried and true. I'm not knocking the acne.org regimen. I can see how it's helpful but I won't be buying another kit anytime soon.

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.
