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.

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.

This is a must have 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

OK Neutrogena, I see your potential.

My personal reaction to this product was I was just gonna be any other skin care, products, and acne product. That’s gonna clear my pimples supposedly. This product absolutely changed my ball game and not only reduce the size of my pimples within a matter of hours, but then, if I reapplied with multiple times within the same day, it reduced the whole pimple entirely within a matter of a day. It is important with this skin product to moisturize your face in between rounds of applying it due to the Benadryl peroxide, acne medicine it will dry out your face slightly, but it is nothing to be too concerned about and if you have sensitive skin like I do it may irritate you for the first couple of days after you first initially use it, but it should subside overall for what the price was. I would say this is one of my top line products that I use

pretty good!

Did a pretty good job at clearing up my pimples! It wasn’t any faster than other spot treatments I’ve tried but if you are looking for just a basic spot treatment that’s affordable this is a great option! definitely great for beginners too

SO GOOD

this is my go to when I get singular spots of acne. I just add a little bit to my acne spot and the spot goes away in basically 1 day! It doesn’t irritate my skin or feel sticky/thick. The gel is super light and doesn’t leave a stick looking residue

Helps with clearing pimples!!

This gel works so well you just apply it on your pimple and either leave it on overnight or for 2 hours and wash off and the pimple is smaller or completely gone. My only complaint about this product is that you can’t use it if you have sensitive skin because it dries your skin out and makes it burn. But other then that this gel works very well on pimples.

Good spot treatment

I use this whenever I need a spot treatment. The product seems to work and has great ingredients for clearing acne. I have pretty sensitive skin and it doesn’t burn. However this product smells awful at first, but worth the trouble.

Budget friendly acne spot treatment

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel works fast to reduce redness and shrink breakouts, thanks to its high-strength benzoyl peroxide. It’s great for targeting those deep, stubborn pimples that won’t budge with regular treatments.

Great product!

I use the Rapid clear gel whenever I have a random breakout. I've even used it on my partner when he has broken out. He's very picky about creams, avoiding anything that feels too oily. This one he doesn't mind at all and we both find it works.
