I know salicylic acid is really effective for fighting pimples, but my skin just doesn't like it for some reason. My face exploded so my sister who is a pharmacist recommended it because it has...

This stuff has not proven to fight my pimples or clear my blemishes. I found that I kept on getting more pimples where I applied the product. It may be because of the hair products that I use...

Does not work for me- does not take away the blemish, does not reduce it or its redness neither, makes absolutely no difference. Is is also not invisible and peels off easily (therefore does not...

My skin is normally pretty clear with one or two occasional pimples. I bought this when I got a really big pimple on my cheek. I applied it with a cotton swab but right away my eye stung from what...

This is good stuff. It works slowly and gently, but effectively. It never stings, nor does it dry my face out. It just keeps zits at bay--except for the hormonally-induced ones, which no product,...

I use this at night when I can feel a zit coming on. It's good for on the spot treatment. I've never used it under makeup or under moisturizer, but the thought of putting a layer of anything...

Didn't work at all. Might as well have put toothpaste to dry up my pimples instead of this stuff. Definitely won't be purchasing this again.

Didn't do a thing for my blackheads. Was very drying and left my skin red and inflamed, due to the high % of alcohol. Try the Neutrogena rapid clear acne eliminating gel or Paula's Choice 2%...

This product is absolutely awful. It reeks of alcohol, burns like hell, and discoloured my skin on contact. Overwhelming alcohol and burning is nothing new to cheap blemish treatements, but the...

My boyfriend made me put some on my nose after I had this horrible pimple and it made it sting and itch like crazy. It SEEMED to subside a bit, but I'm not sure. Either way, he had two tubes so I...

LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I have normal/combo skin and usually don't get too many breakouts. When I do, this is the only thing I would use. It gets rid of my pimples in a few days, or at least shrinks...

A good,effective drugstore product for occasional, hormonal-related breakouts. Works well along my jawline and chin, where I tend to have the most problems. Doesn't interfere with makeup, as long...

Ouch this stuff stings! Maybe too much salicyic acid? As a spot treatment only on the offending pimple it works okay but I like the persa-gel 5 much better.

For all of you sensitive skinned people or for those of you that experience stinging from this product, there is ALCOHOL in this which irritates, stings, and burns MOST types of skin.

I don't really use this on my face, since it's way too harsh on my sensitive, dry skin. But it's great for my bacne and ingrown hair. I put a thin layer on my back and it's cleared up the stray...
