Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment Gel, 1 oz

Pros: - This product doesn’t have much of a smell. (slight chemical scent at first but dissipates quickly) - It does kill acne / active breakouts - Works quickly, 5-7 days to see visible improvements - Strongest concentration available without a prescription Cons: - Very strong which means it is highly irritating and drying - Does not dry clear - Bleaches everything - Will cause skin sensitivity, a good SPF will be needed daily, as well as a moisturizer. A con only if you don’t like having a skincare routine My skin is oily, acne prone, and slightly sensitive. Benzoyl peroxide is very harsh and drying, so if you are a beginner, I wouldn’t recommend this only because of the common beginner’s error of using more than you need, thinking it will work faster. Start with 2.5% or 5% first, and then switch to this once your skin adjusts and you have a feel for how much you actually need. This product in particular is very strong, it is harsh, but it works. When used consistently, it will clear active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. As I mentioned above, you will need both a moisturizer and a facial sunscreen of at least SPF 30, because Benzoyl Peroxide causes photosensitivity. Sun exposure will also cause any leftover scarring to darken and stick around on your face for much longer. As a side note, if you have sensitive skin and this is too irritating, you can try out a benzoyl peroxide based face wash. Those do work - there are studies proving benzoyl peroxide to be effect with short contact on skin. A leave-on BP product is infinitely more harsh on the skin than a wash-off formula but for some breakouts, a leave-on is necessary. For active breakouts, Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel works well. Benzoyl peroxide is a powerful ingredient, 10% is the maximum recommended concentration which is what this product contains. 10% is very drying, so you will need a moisturizer with this, otherwise you will probably experience a breakout due to your skin being overdried. This product is a white cream that does NOT dry clear. I like to use it as a spot treatment (at night only, because it is streaky and white) on active pimples and as a cream over areas that I get breakouts (chin, forehead). It also bleaches everything, so keep your hair pulled back and sleep with an old towel on your pillow. I don’t think you could use this during the day, even when it dries if you try to apply make-up over it will flake (and it dries white and tends to “crackle” and flake) Overall, 5 stars because it’s benzoyl peroxide, and it does what it is supposed to do. This is packaged well, the cap seals it well so there’s no problems with oxidizing. It only works if you use consistently. I went with Neutrogena because it’s a trusted brand I have had success with in the past, and I also enjoy their lines of moisturizers.

It really helped me with acne on my jaw line. First time I applied it felt like burning a little bit. And after using it for at least 4 days in a row (always at night) I noticed the difference. Acne was way less swollen and redness. But then you have to keep in mind another product for possible scars.

It does a great job drying and shrinking pimples! I recently had a sudden breakout on my forehead and chin and within three days most have shrunk and aren’t large and painful. My only con, as someone who has sensitive skin, my face in general tends to turn red when irritated. This product definitely left me with a lot of redness and dryness. I definitely recommend it for breakouts but use caution.

Update… one month and my skin is clear! Second photo posted. 8 hours and immediately see the acne diminishing, redness subsiding and clear skin in my immediate less than 24 hour post use. I have spent hundreds of dollars on acne creams and none come close. I am dealing with adult acne after having clear skin most of my life. I also have rosacea and you can see in the after photo, the redness on my face has subsided and it has not even been 24 hours since initial use. This didn’t even come close to my prescription medicines and is nominal cost vs other high end skin care products. I will update a photo after 72 hours. To purchase this would be a mistake to your wallet and a failure to your skin.

This spot treatment works fast to dry out breakouts. It has been a life saver and was recommended by my skin obsessed friend. It’s easy to apply precisely and doesn’t overly dry out surrounding skin. A reliable go-to for tackling occasional blemishes.

Tried these in store and they were great! This one on Amazon however has a lot of white marks once it dries. It might be because of Amazon’s shipping since it probably sat in the back of a hot truck for hours. It definitely doesn’t have the same effects as the in-brand stores since those would normally remove most of my active acne while the Amazon one doesn’t. Normally though, this would be great just make sure it isn’t hot outside or just buy it in store.

Results are within 12 hours of using the treatment. AMAZING. I’ve been having trouble with chin acne the past 6 months or so. Buy this. You won’t regret it.

This spot treatment has always been a part of my night routine. This product is perfect for people with sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin like me. Just make sure you put on a good moisturizer so that you don’t get dry skin.

After using once I felt the improvement right away, a bit expensive that is why I cannot buy another one. But definitely amazing product!

With having to wear a face mask, haven breaking out very bad along my cheeks and jawline and under my chin into my neck. Within two days the breakouts have cleared and even the dark marks left from my scratching and damaging my skin is less visible. Using this now on break outs that appear all over my body.

جيد ومفعوله سريع

I applied it on breakouts twice daily, they disappear by two days, but still leave an after scar. I was mostly getting small spots, so I am nit sure how effective it would be on larger pimples,
