As a teenager I would always have big pimples erupting on my skin during that time of the month. Right when I feel that there's something there, I would immediately dab on this spot treatment, and throughout the day I will keep applying it on to the pimple. And usually the next day, I see a huge difference, no red bump! the salicylic acid prevent the pimple from growing and had flatten it! I also dab this on when a pimple had been infected, it does STING, but the gel helps dry up the affected area and the scab will eventually fall out. This is truly my zit zapper helper!

This product is the best spot treatment that I've ever tried...and now it's the only product I use. I've been using it for over 13 years now, and now my 2 teenage daughters use it, as well. Although they use Proactive for their facial regiment, they use the Clinique Spot Treatment for their acne spot problems instead of the Proactive's spot treatment. When you use this product, it clears up any spot that is a problem. If it's a 'early' zit that doesn't yet have a pore for a head, put a dab of this product on it, and by the next morning it'll be gone. If it has a head, do the same and it'll dry the head up by the next morning, which alleviates having to break it, which can cause scarring and make it hang around longer. If the zit is a couple days in, the product may need to be used more than once, but will dry it up and take care of if.

Stings a little when you first put it on but that goes away. This definitely helps clear skin.

This gel does make a different, it makes pimples reduce in size and pain fast than using nothing at all.

I really like this acne gel! I always notice a considerable difference in the swelling, colour and size of any zit I apply it to by the next morning. It drys really quickly too, which is good when you are already going to be late and don't want to wait until it is dry to go to bed! It tingles when you apply it, which indicates it is working, but it doesn't hurt or sting at all. I recommend this item to anyone who is looking for a good acne treatment!
