I used to have AMAZING SKIN, i would have the occasional 1-2 breakouts before my monthly period. I dabbed a little bit on the breakouts one night and woke up to find a huge black patch of skin on my face, which ended up comming off leaving a huge pot hole in my face, after this my skin has become so hard to handle!! Please dont use this product! The company did nothing for me but send back the $12 i paid. Not worth the truama and stress i went through and that im still going through!!
Not a bad acne product
It didn't really work on my extremely acne-prone skin
I bought this in the clearance aisle and it was cheap
It is a gel/clear consistency
It smells like CHI products, which I don't mind
Wasn't strong enough to get rid of any pimples or major zits but I think this controlled my acne a bit
You only need a drop of this stuff to cover a large area of skin.
I think this will work well with people who have 1/2 zits, minor acne not so much for severe acne-prone skin
This product always helps with my pimples, i just dab a little before i go to sleep at night and the next morning the pimple will be less red and much smaller amazing product will buy again (:
I've been using this product for years. My skin is flawless due to it. I used to have really bad acne when i was about in 7th grade. I tired everything, Proactive, Clinique and i even had microdermabrasion all the time before i hit high school. I remember it was probably the end of my freshman year, my sister went to the Walgreens down the street one day and got something for her pimples. I snooped around her room and found it & tried it on and it stung a little bit but i noticed the spot where i slabbed it on was less red. I bought it not too long afterward and dramatic changes occurred. I spent so much money & time on other products and finally just $6 bucks did the trick. I usually use Biore scrub and pat dry and put this on. && thats my routine every night. I hope they never discontinue it i dont know what ill do. i been using this ever since 2006. It works amazing.

So my face has become an acne roadmap this week thanks to running out of the 'tane a few weeks back and also thanks to some lovely steroids my doc just had to put me on for asthma. Long story short, I'm not a happy camper and I have a couple dozen active zits right now. Found this last night at CVS($6) and slathered it on as soon as I got home. Smell isn't bad and it didn't burn or anything. Kinda felt menthol-y - u know that cool feeling when air hits your skin after u rub some Vicks on? Well, it's like that. Not bad at all. The texture is a cloudy liquid gel, but it actually absorbs into skin, which I adore, because there's nothing I hate more than going to bed with a heavy, greasy texture on my face that makes me stick to the pillow. And fellow rosacea sufferers will know what I mean when I say that having that 2nd layer of lotion or potion sitting on your face just makes your skin feel hot and uncomfortable. Anywho, this was neither sticky nor heat-inducing, so I was happy. Woke up this morning and was happily surprised to see that roughly 1/3 of the zits were gone and another 1/3 had already come to a head, but were noticeably smaller. The redness had definitely decreased all around and I wasn't a dry, flaky mess either. BP products always sucked the life out of my skin and made things worse, but salicylic definitely seems gentler on the skin. So far so good. Just applied a 2nd layer a couple hours ago and things seem to be improving still. I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. Yay for cheap drugstore products!
Okay this works really well with drying out the zit. It was working on my whiteheads, so I said what the heck! And slabbed it on an area that I have about 20small whiteheads.. BIG mistake! I have this shiny dry patch on it that I can't take off! How the heck do I get this off??? :( help me!
Have been using this under Lise Watier Moisturizer and I really noticed a difference in my skin which was really damaged. The dark spots from older pimples are slowly fading. No dryness but perhaps this is because I have been using it under a moisturizer.
I used to use the Clean and Clear Gel so I decided to try this product (with fine tip) on a whim. I really like the texture and packaging of the product.

This product works really good for me. It prevents me from getting new pimples on my face, and if I do get one, it helps to get rid of any pimple faster.
This product actually does what it claims to do, which is rare in the case of acne treatment products. I bought the Clean & Clear Acne Advantage kit for $16 at Wal Mart and this came in the set. When I started using the products I had a large pimple that hadn't yet surfaced that I could tell was going to be big and painful. I could feel it, just not see it. I put the acne spot treatment on it twice a day for three days and it never surfaced! It just went away! It cleared up the blemishes I had already had on my face and wasn't drying or greasy. It doesn't smell like anything and the gel consistency made it easy to apply and absorbed rather quickly. I wouldn't think that a drug store product would give me such great results (I have tried EVERYTHING for my breakouts including Murad, Clinique Acne Solutions, and Proactive) and I'm so glad that I purchased the set. I will definitely be repurchasing. continued >>
