My eyes are swollen and my face is itchy after using it JUST ONE TIME. I think I’m allergic to something in it but I looked it up and many other ppl have said over the years proactive has given them puffy swollen red eyes and hives all over there neck too. So I guess it’s not just me?? Will be returning.

Works great! I love this product! If you are acne prone then you definitely need a spot treatment. This one is chemically strong and dries out pimples in a day or two. Beware; do not expose to sunlight while using this product. It will burn your skin. Other than that, it works great and I love this product.
Love it

This is a must have! It’ll either reduce the size of my breakouts or remove them completely overnight. I’m amazed at how quickly it works. Also, despite it being a small tube, it actually lasted me a few months.
Love!

I have these little tubes stashed everywhere. Bathroom, gym bag, desk drawer, bedside table. Literally everywhere. I simply cannot be without this spot treatment. I mean, I wish I didn’t have these pesky acne spots, but when one starts to pop out, if I can get the treatment on in time, it makes the breakout not as bad and seem to heal up faster. (
good for the big ones

Predictably, once a month, a deep pimple magically appears. The area gets red and swollen and as much as I try really hard not to pick at it, I do (sorry, gross). This product helps dry it out and start healing. Those times that I don’t pick, I still use the spot treatment and it makes it smaller.
This Stuff Works!

When I have a blemish pop up (or I feel one about to pop up) I put a dab of this on it 1-2xs a day, and it starts to go away within 1-2 days. It really works & doesn’t irritate my skin. It’s a tiny tube but the top is designed to squeeze out just enough, so it lasts a long time. I used Proactiv for 10+ years, and even after no longer using the system, I still use this and the mask.
Does the trick

This is a great invisible blemish treatment. It does the trick to get rid of pimples, usually overnight. It's nice that it's invisible, in case you need to put it on during the day or under makeup. It's not overly drying to your skin which is a bonus.
Invisible but powerful stuff

AK_cupcake - 2 years ago
Invisible but powerful stuff. What make this a unique spot treatment is that is both goes on and dries clear. If I’m working out or don’t feel like wearing makeup, it’s just invisible, no white-ish, yellowy or gritty residue. And makeup just glides on top of it. The scent is a little strong, but I got used to it.
