They changed the formula when they changed the packaging. I’ve used this for years, and now it smells like you’re rubbing alcohol on your face and made me break out. Won’t be buying this anymore

Its pretty good - 8 days ago
I liked it a lot, it did help with my acne and made a significant difference overnight. BUT it makes my face itchy which I’ve experienced lately with my old benzoyl peroxide too. I would recommend btu make sure you use a good moisturizer as it can be drying.
Changed formula?

This used to work overnight, very fast. It was great. With the new packaging there seems to be a formula change as well since it does nothing at all anymore. I went back to the more expensive Paula’s Choice option since that actually works.
Inexpensive and effective

wxchick - 22 days ago, Verified purchaser
This stuff is great. I had been getting giant pimples on my chin and tried all the expensive stuff. Nothing worked so I decided to give this a try and as long as I use it every night before bed I’m good to go. I still get a pimple from time to time but only one, much smaller, and they do not last long. Word of warning - my 11 year old tried it and it dried her face out so may be too harsh for some skin types.

This item made my face breakout in a rash. Not sure why as another product I have of the same ingredients doesn’t bother my skin.

Bri - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve used benzoyl peroxide in the past without issue, but for whatever reason this really does not work with my skin. I tried an extremely small amount on the pimple I had, when I woke up the next morning the whole bottom half of my face was itchy, burning, and red. It feels like I was sunburnt in a way. The itchy redness lasted for 3 days after the night I put it on and I didn’t use any other acne treatments to not irritate my skin further. I think it may just be too concentrated for my skin as I know it has worked for others.
Ok product

I always buy this but they changed the product it still works but I was thinking why did they but it works fine I suggest you use at night let it dry up and wash face in the AM and let face dry put on moisturizer that’s it.
Just as good as the name brand

Amazon vs target - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Honestly I was skeptical about trying this because of some of the bad reviews! But for me it worked magic! The first night I cleansed my face and put a little moisturizer then applied lightly this cream on my concerned areas. Left it to try and the washed with warm water and applied a little moisturizer again. The next morning90% pimples were gone and dried out. Usually every morning I wake up with nasty pimples but not this time! So I highly recommend this but use as directed don’t put too much! I would recommend once a day and then move up to twice a day but wash carefully.

Put this on at night and the next morning I woke up to my entire face being swollen, especially my eyes. I didn't even apply it to my eyes or nearby! It also burnt my face!

I used this only as a spot treatment for a pimple on my lip and woke up the next day with the entire bottom half of my face red, peeling, and extremely itching. It's been a few days and the rash is still there. I can't wash my face or even put on moisturizer without it burning

I love this and the new packaging is just adorable. I literally swear by this stuff and it doesn’t give me any allergic reactions. I know there’s some mixed reviews obviously everyone has different skin, but it works really great. Once again this new packaging is just lovely. The cap goes on so much smoother and it’s just really cute colors too.
Great product!!

This has been my go to for acne flare ups since middle school. Great for huge random pimples, they usually shrink dramatically overnight.
