I finished more than half of the bottle and unfortunately it didn't do anything for me. Actually, since I've been using it I got random whiteheads popping up every day so I am not using it...

I had flawless skin my whole life until I was 20, when hormonal changes brought on some bouts of mild to moderate acne. In the past few months I have experienced troubling rash-like breakouts,...

I purchased this product based on the recommendation of Paula Begoun as a top pick for a BHA and I'm thrilled with the results. I use this product once a week applied at night to my oily t-zone. I...

I use this every night! It makes my pimples heal faster, and my stubborn blackheads smaller (but not disappear). I love mixing this with my moisturizer (two thirds moisturizer, one third gel) I...

I use this every night. It's my back up to Paula's Choice BHA. If I run out, I know I can pick this up at the store. It has a bit of an alcohol-type smell, even though it's not alcohol based. I...

I first bought this in 2009 and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. I couldn't tell if it was a moisturizer, spot treatment, etc., so it sat in my medicine cabinet. After learning that salicylic...

I had my first real breakout of acne on my face about two weeks ago. I don't know what brought it on, but my face was suddenly patched with small bumps. It was so bad that my mother had seen my...

Did nothing for my acne...If anything I got more whiteheads....Not for moderate to severe acne. Might be good if you get a pimple or two every a month

I gave this product a try after my bottle of ProActiv ran out. Although I haven't been breaking out as I did in my 20's and 30's, now my sensitive skin at 47 is going through different hormonal...

This is a pretty nice acne treatment, in my opinion. I wouldn't say that this can replace a moisturizer, but I do like that it isn't completely drying as many acne products tend to be. It feels...

This stuff is pretty good! I'd been using the Stridex in the red box, which worked okay, but it was too drying. This is gentler and more effective. It has the right pH to work right, and it doesn't...
