Q: Hi can I use this for my back acne or ingrown hair?

submitted by Crism101 - 1 year ago
  • A: Hello! Thank you for choosing our product. To answer your question, our Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment Gel can help with back acne, as it is formulated to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. However, it is not specifically formulated to treat ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs benefit more from chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid or glycolic acid, which help exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce inflammation around hair follicles. Please consult with a dermatologist for tailored recommendations. For more details, please visit https://www.neutrogena.com.

    Perfect for sensitive skin

    Took care of breakouts I had around my hairline on my forehead within 2 days. In the past these breakouts have lasted at least a week. Very much recommend this product!

    Acne clearing gel

    This cream is great for clearing acne. It is definitely worth the price! It is not too strong so it doesn’t make your face feel tight. You can wear it out and no one will ever notice.

    Good quality acne spot treatment.

    This acne rapid spot gel is so good. Its consistency, price, drying are all good, I have less breakouts when I use this product. It makes my acne seem non existent when using this. I would buy this product again.

    Actually works!

    This product is so good and one of the best for my stubborn acne!! I get the most random spots and it likes to bring friends but this helps so much within 1-2 days i see a huge difference. It absorbs very well, it does not sting or irritate my skin. And i love the packaging because i can spot it easily in between my things (see what i did there)

    Effective ✨

    I use this as a spot treatment whenever I feel a breakout coming, and it really works. It dries out pimples quickly without irritating my skin too much. The gel is lightweight, absorbs fast, and doesn’t leave a heavy or sticky feeling. It’s definitely one of those products I keep reaching for when I need fast results.

    They must have switched the ingredients. My daughter has used this product for years and this time around it gave her chemical burn on her face.

    Varies

    I feel like this product would be so good on someone with out severe acne. I had severe acne and it didn't work but it was very gentle and i gifted it to my friend and she claimed it works great for her so definitely depends on the skin type!

    Solid acne breakout cream

    My husband uses this for his stubborn breakouts on his face. It can leave a little white residue after it dries if you don’t have it totally rubbed in. It does help the acne breakouts when he uses it.

    Effective but drying

    It definitely helps it’s just irritating (but I have sensitive skin so that’s not surprising!). I do think it is good for truly spot treatment though!

    Great Product

    This cream surprised me. I have a teenager that was breaking out so I got this to try and it cleared him up very quickly. Also, a little goes a long way so the tube lasts a long time. Actually, if you use too much the cream cakes up and dries and it looks like cake icing on your face.

    Product Highlights

    This little tube means serious business. 💥 Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel might not smell amazing, but it works fast — and that’s what counts! I wish the packaging looked a bit better, but for the price and power, I can’t complain. Just one dab and the breakout gets the message: “You’re not welcome here.

    Great Affordable Spot Acne Treatment

    This product is a great and very adorable option for spot acne treatment. I usually leave it on overnight for my mainly hormonal acne and it does the trick. It does, like any spot acne treatment, dry your skin a bit, but it’s important to just keep it moisturized.

    Great product

    I have been using this on my acne; it is doing a very good job of helping my acne become ready to pop. I put it on today, and tomorrow the whitehead already popped up for me to pop it out. However, my only complaint is that it feels very itchy when I put it on the acne spot, so it makes me scratch and remove the product.

    One of my very favorite products. I was experiencing really stubborn hormonal acne and this product did the trick for me! And for the value it easily is a top product to have in your skincare routine. Scentless and easy to work with
