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 - 5 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 - 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.

    submitted byAnnieM - 5 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.

Q: Can I use this if pregnant?

submitted by Zoe2021 - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi, Zoe2021 - Thanks for asking! It is said that pregnant women can use acne spot treatment for moderate to severe acne, however, they should avoid isotretinoin, spironolactone, and doxycycline, none of which are found in this product. We recommend to also refer to the American Academy of Dermatology Association for more information. Have a great day! - Rob

    Amazing!!!!!!!!!

    I had a lot of stubborn cystic acne under my chin. I started using this a little over a week ago and it has basically already cleared up. I wish I had a before picture so I could show you but this is literally the only thing that worked- I tried EVERYTHING. I started with a thin application at night (I was worried about some of the chemical burn reviews on here). Now I apply in the morning and at night after washing my face. I am so thankful because my wedding is in 3 weeks and I have a fighting chance at having smooth skin for once in my life!!!

    Works

    I bought this in a pinch for a bad jawline breakout. It started working the same day and within a few days it was completely cleared up. Good texture, it was less drying than brand name treatments I have tried. Pleasantly surprised.

    works well

    works pretty well, you just have to apply it a couple times. Wanted to start off with this 2.5% and not the 10%. My face has NO burning, just clarifying because i’ve seen so many people say that they have had that.

    Sensitive Acne Prone Skin

    Will last a long time, only needs a tiny amount. Definitely works! I have extremely sensitive and acne prone skin, this is a life saver. At first I thought it was a bit expensive for a small topical. But I was surprised how a small dot of product helped my breakout by the next morning. For me, after a couple days of application it will clear my problem spots. Life saver! I do use a lot of lotion on my face to combat dryness, just in case.

    Works!

    I don’t usually write reviews but I wanted to this time because this has really helped me and I hope this helps you. About 3 months ago I experienced a sudden onset of acne and nothing I used seemed to work or help. I tried various treatments, brands, face masks. I even went to the dermatologist and they recommended a laser treatment to kill the acne causing bacteria that started at $3k. Then I discovered this product line by target and decided to give it a go. I also really liked the price point. I didn’t really expect much from it either. I used the face wash twice daily, wore the pimple patches over night, did the pore strips once a week and I used the peroxide treatment directly and only on the pimples twice daily. I applied the peroxide with a Qtip to avoid getting the medication on my skin. After only a week of doing this consistently the acne actually started clearing up! without scarring either. I no longer have those huge painful pimples all over. I haven’t noticed any new ones either. I was really at a loss for so long but this combination has solved this daily aggravation for me. I couldn’t be happier! I will continue to use these and keep them on hand for any future use. My only regret is not getting this sooner

    Used to love it..

    I used to get the benzoyl peroxide for target all the time and I loved it so much! I don’t know if they changed the formula but I had to stop using it, due to the fact my skin would be super itchy and red everywhere I put it

    Holy Grail for Oily Skin!

    It’s strong, but when used correctly, it works wonders! I leave it on for 10 minutes every other night and always follow up with moisturizer. In the morning, I apply sunscreen. Overusing it or leaving it on too long can make your skin sensitive, so I use it sparingly and my skin hasn’t felt this smooth in ages.

    NO!

    I have used benzoyl peroxide for over a decade and never had an issue. This caused some sort of allergic reaction/rash. Warm, red, itchy. Nothing about 2.5% benzoyl peroxide should cause that kind of reaction. Insane.
