Q: How do you use this? Do you put it all over your face or do you put it on a spot over night? I have hormonal acne and I’m unsure on how to use it.

submitted by j - 4 years ago
  • A: Personally I use it as a spot treatment, all over my face or just in certain areas. Be consistent with using the product daily and don't expect acne to be gone in one night.

    submitted byDYang - 2 years ago
  • A: You are supposed to use it on pimples overnight as a spot treatment. However I advise against this—it made my pimples larger and more inflamed.

    submitted byimsosad - 4 years ago
  • A: You apply it over the breakouts. If you have concerns that it might irritate your skin, I would use it every other night (or morning -- I put it on beneath my make-up) and then gradually increase use if you don't see any problems.

I stared using this a few days ago on my face and I’m already noticing a huge difference! Salicylic acid wasn’t strong enough and most other benzoyl peroxides are 5% or 10% which is too strong for my face so this is perfect! If you have sensitive skin and struggle with acne I highly recommend this!

This product works like a charm! Acne runs in the family, and I am the only one not getting anything because I use this treatment. Don’t expect it to get rid of your pimples the same night you just used it, try 3-4 days, and you’ll have the clearest skin! 👍🏻

Bought this because Neutrogena On the spot was out of stock and I needed acne treat. The results was not okay, just like the Neutrogena ones, but I dislike the fact that every time I used, the tube would give off a squeaky sound that sent chills down my spine as I squeezed. It’s annoying because the squeaky sound of a a tube releasing air or the sound of scratching glasses is a nightmare to some people.

SCMD - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
Why is this better than the name brand? It has a flip cap! I don't have to worry about dropping the cap, let alone it going somewhere I wouldn't want to touch it again. (I keep it in the bathroom, so need I say more?) It's also cheaper and just as effective as the name brand. If you're still dealing with acne at 45 or older like I am, I'd highly recommend it!

Extremely lightweight and has no smell. Cleared my severe forehead acne in a month by applying daily, day AND night. Still using after 2 years for minor spots from pimples that appear here and there. Only complaint is the size, I need more!!

It’s effective in terms of getting rid of acne spots but not great if you have sensitive skin. When I use it it always eliminates the zits but sometimes causes more redness or dryness in the area.

Ok so I suffer from painful hormonal cystic acne. I recently decided to stop taking spironolactone, and I noticed I started to breakout again. I have sensitive skin, so I use the TINIEST bit of this just on the area of the breakout and it drives it up so quick! If you are sensitive do not use this on your whole face, It will definitely break you out.
