This product did nothing for my skin. It didn't get rid of blemishes at all, if anything, made them worse. Thankfully, I found ZapZyt, which is sooooooooo much better. Will not repurchase.

This one works better than PanOxyl for me. It reduces the blemishes but doesn't completely erase them overnight; that's fine with me considering I got burned by PanOxyl. Very reliable for hindering the growth of potentially big pimples.

This is a waste of time and money!!! Did nothing for my pimples and even got a bad reaction to it. I love L'Oreal products but this one is letdown. I don't have sensitive skin, actually my skin is quite ok you can slap any product on it and won't do it any harm. But not this one-- in just two days of using it, I developed more zits near the same area I applied it on. I threw it away!

Im too crazy about this product either. But Ive gone through about 3 of the tubes.

It doesnt perform miracles. I mean it doesnt erase pimples overnight. But I HAVE seen it reduce the size over a few days. Thats more than I can say for the products Ive tried previously.


Packaging sucks though.

Will repurchase.

I'm not crazy about this; the first time I used it it was fantastic in reducing the redness caused by acne on my cheeks. Subsequently it didn't really work anymore on my zits.. The packaging stinks too..huge quantities spill out when the tube is full and its a big waste of product. Also, it makes my face unbearably sticky for a long time!

I have been using this everyday for a week and it has done absolutely nothing. But I am still using it in hopes that it will because I don't want to throw it away.

This stuff is ok, it depends. It might wk for some and not for others. I like the fact this has zinc in it also along with the beta salicyclic acid. Zinc is great for people w/zits. Its antinflammotory and antibacterial! Think of what u put on a baby's diaper rash, zinc oxide!!! I guess I like to educated others LOL!! But the bad things about this product, it has alcohol and also its a bit sticky and tacky! Will not wk under your makeup! Will cake like others have said! It works ok for me has a spot treatment! All over might make u feel sticky or if u are sensistive the alcohol along w/ the bha might aggravate u! Enough said!! LOL!

This product is wonderful for zapping zits before they become full-blown. I use it at the first sign of redness and it works wonderfully. As for existing zits, it's a little bit slower than other products, but is still effective. I really love the clear color; it makes it easy to wear under makeup.

I've used a lot of pimple/zit creams/gels in my lifetime and this one is definitely one of the better ones that actually works. It gets rid of those small pimples quickly and takes a few days for bigger ones. Too bad the tube is so small and you always end up squeezing out too much 'cause the hole is really big or something.

This really works to dry out any upcoming and existing acne without drying out the surface of the skin, especially the painfully large ones I seem to get a lot on my oily zones. Amazing! The only drawback is that any makeup over the product will cake up. The packaging is horrible, b/c if you accidentally squeeze too hard, it will spill out uncontrollably. The plastic tube dispensing tip seems a little too large and messy. It will sting a little, but I figure that it means it's working! I've had a single product for over a month now, and even w/ daily applications, it has lasted. Very good bargain. UPDATE: I bought a second tube b/c I can't live without it. It's the only product that will get rid of my breakouts. For some reason, Neutrogena's version of this product did absolutely nothing for me.

I have to say this product is amazing. It worked on my skin. At the first sign of a big, red, painful bump, I applied this treatment and it never turned into a big, nasty bump. It acted very quickly and it didn't dry my skin. I even used it under makeup and it's unnoticeable. I will be buying this product again!

I found this on the clearance rack at Walmart. It works pretty good but if you have a big blemish it will take forever for it to go away even with using this product

This is one of the best acne spot treatments I have ever used. It goes on a nice, clear gel, doesn't make a mess and doesn't overdry skin either. I use this when (on rare occasions thanks to Acutane) I get a pimple. Works fast too!

Stung my skin, and aggravated the zits!!! Urgh!!! BP works but its too drying and heard it causes skin-ageing, so I guess I'll stick with my L'Occitane Lavender Vinegar and pure tea tree oil =)

This did not work for me at all. I used it on my back and it just did not dry up the pimples or effect them in any way! I wanted to use this as an alternative to BP because it bleaches things....but it seems that BP is the only thing that works! IDK, maybe I need to give this more time, but I had no results after a few days of applying.

Well, the first few times I tried this, wow. It worked like a miracle..~ Then, I started to notice it stopped working. It no longer had the same initial effectiveness as before. Then I noticed the burning which grew into stinging, which lead to redness and currently no effectiveness results as of yet. I used to love this product but it's going down real fast.

I hate to be the minority here... but how come no one has mentioned that this stuff is greasy and looks like peeling skin under makeup... and it does burn a little too. How come I had no luck with this???
UPDATE: Eventually after using this for a few more days under my makeup I just threw it away. THIS IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY(I mean I hate to be picky here but 7.99 for drug store crap isn't exactly a good price). At first I was impressed but now I'm not. I know a lot of people like this but it's really peely. If you buy this (which I hope you don't) you'll know what I mean. I DO NOT reccomend this to anyone that even has the slighest bit of sensitive skin.

Good stuff for that unwanted hormonal breakout. I used this and escaped one of these episodes this month - my skin stayed clear, even in the heat and humidity, because at the tiniest sign of redness I zapped it with this product and nothing ever grew into a full-blown zit. Yaay.
