This is nothing special. As usual I bought it hoping it would be the miracle cure but it wasn't. It does last a long time and it's a bit stingy when you put it on, I guess that's a sign that it's...

good for daytime prevention of pimples. for "spots," i prefer to use something stronger.

All this stuff did for me was give my skin an itchy/burning/tingling sensation. I didn't clear up any of my pimples. Also, I could only wear it at night because when it dries, it leaves a...

I love this spot gel! I have actually REPURCHASED it! It is very drying, so I have to be careful and moisturize well when I use it, but it clears up acne so fast. It is fairly cheap (I think I...

this thick pure-salicylic acid feeling gel kills whatever you put it on. it is the strongest, most effective spot treater i've used. it feels like its getting right to the source and completely...

I don't have breakouts very often, but when I do and use this product and those similar to it, it's a case of the cure being worse than the "affliction". It leaves a big dried up blotch on my face...

This healing gel actually works on my dry skin. I usually put it on over night and in the morning the red spot is gone after 2 days. When I put the gel on I usually have to put my moisturizer on...

I am in agreement that this works sometimes and sometimes not. I like it for nighttime, not day--you can't put concealer over it. Sometimes I think just an astringent with a little alcohol works...

The same thing happened to me. It made the area worse rather than better and has caused a scar where it burnt my skin!

This stuff is awful. I had a pimple trying to form and I put some of this on it. Not only did it burn when I put it on, the next day, the skin on and around the pimple actually CAME OFF. I was left...

I use this gel when i get a really bad pimple on my chin or cheek (that usually happens once a month). This gel heals the area and dries out the pimple in a few days. It's 100% fragrance free so it...

This may look little, but a little goes a LONG way. I found that the clear gel did dry up any zits, but it also dried out the area surrounding it so I ended up with flaking skin.

I agree with other reviewers who say this product sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It is a total crap shoot for me. It is a gentle treatment for my sensitive skin, though, so I try it if I...

I have had moderate success with this product. I like that it dries quickly so that you can put concealer or foundation on top of it without wiping the product away. I also like the clear squeeze...

it works on some of my blemishes but not others. not really effective IMHO. a 15ml would last a long time for me.
