Q: Can you use this product even when your going to be exposed to UV rays? The products I get from my dermatologist I cannot
submitted by Lindsey - 3 years ago
A: Hi Lindsey! If you plan on going outside, apply sunscreen after using this product. If irritation or sensitivity develops, stop use of both products and ask a doctor.

A: Hi Lindsey! We recommend using sunscreen when going outdoors while using the Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment. We recommend Neutrogena's Oil Free Facial Moisturizer with SPF 35. Hope this helps!

Q: Do you keep this on overnight?
submitted by E m i l y - 3 years ago
A: Absolutely! Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
I've used this stuff for SO many years. I don't get acne super often, but when I do it's really annoying. I'll throw some of this cream on at night, and the pimple is significantly reduced by the morning. This product is great.

Put this on at least twice a day as soon as you feel a pimple coming on and it will dissolve within a few days. Works every time for me.

If you have a spot, apply this immediately and it keeps it under control. The more you apply, the quicker it starts to go away.

This is my go to acne treatment. After my shower and cleaning my face I put this spot treatment on overnight and the redness and acne have gone down or gone away completely. I always have these in the cabinet or on hand in the house.

I absolutely love this!! Every time I start to get a pimple, I apply this at night after washing my face. The next morning I can already tell it's working and my pimple is starting to clear. So easy to use and such a small amount needed makes it last!

I got rid of red sport and zits over night. This gave me confidences to not always have to wear makeup again. You did not need to use a lot…. A little went a long way

I liked this spot treatment. It worked a lot of the time, I just applied it before bed and washes it off in the morning, most of the time the pimple was gone or decreased.

This is such a fast acting spot treatment. If you feel a zit coming on, slap this on and it’ll help dry it up asap. It’s really good to keep handy. My mom swears by this!

Light cream that actually helps clear acne spots! Works best if you use for a couple nights and then the acne is gone. Loved this product.

Brands matter. This is the best spot treatment to use on a zit. I will never use any other benzoyl peroxide. Stick with the brands you trust.

It was good for helping the redness acne spot, but I hope it will help for oily skin. Overall, it is good for acne and also help to make your skin more moisture.
