A few years back during my freshman year of college I made some poor choices in my diet and drank way too much at parties. My acne came back all over my face with a vengeance. It was even worse...

This gel did a decent job stopping and shrinking any pimples I spot-treated using it, but I never noticed much difference as far as fading acne marks. The smell is also not a pleasant one, very...

I was recently using Burt's Bees targeted spot treatment and it seemed to lighten one of my acne spots but i also woke up with more pimples. This product decreased the size of two of my pimples but...

I think some people don't realize how glycolic acid works. It's shedding the skin cells and so your acne might appear more red--because it's actually doing something. Some people will have...

This acne treatment works pretty well. I've broken out with some small acne on my face and chest and this seems to help. I would say my acne was 50% improved in a day or so. I have very sensitive...

I like just the regular rapid clear acne eliminating gel better. This is suitable for night use only as it balls up terribly. Really badly.

The gel dries out too quickly even though I swear that I tightened up the cap very carefully. I only used it a couple times! Not a good value!

This is the best thing I've ever used for acne. My skin is usually clear with the exception of a few occasional zits but a couple years ago I had a breakout of cystic acne and was unsure of how to...

I had some horrible rebound acne from stopping my birth control after 6 years, so as you can imagine, my skin went through a huge hormonal change which resulted in a cystic-type break out on my...

I don't get bad acne often, just around "that time of the month", but when I do break out, it's BAD. I have yet to find anything that actually helps with the redness, swelling, and scarring I...

Did not help my skin. After applying it left my skin feeling very tight and dry. My skin actually started to itch turn red. This gel made my acne scars look worse and more noticeable.

I don't understand all the bad reviews this has gotten, although since everyone's skin is different, I guess people have varying viewpoints on it. For me, this is my HG for zit zapping. I don't...

The product is ok. I say okay because it doesn't help nor increase my breakouts. I feel this gel is not very strong and does not help fading. It works for minor red bumps over night but nothing too...

I have very dry skin that is not acne prone. However, I might get a breakout during "that" time of the month and wanted a spot treatment. Suddenly out of nowhere this past month I had a few large,...

I purchased this product around 6 months ago in an attempt to find a cheaper alternative for my spot treatment from Philosophy. Unfortunately, I can't give this stuff a very high rating at all....

I tried this product twice - 6 years apart to be honest. Both tries were the same. It did nothing for my skin. I have combo-to-dry acne prone skin, and it did not dry my skin out. This second try...

If your skin tends to get dry I would not use this product it really does dry out the skin but fails to dry out pimples. Also I didn't really see a difference in my acne scars.

Did not calm down my acne at all so I'm going back to my Murad Acne Spot Treatment (which works beautifully to diminish my spots). This one was a total bust.

This did nothing to treat my pimples or fade my scars, and I think it might have made the pimples worse. Also, it dried my skin out terribly after just a few uses. It also has a strong, chemical...
