Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment Gel Cream with 2% Salicylic Acid, Oil-Free Topical Acne Treatment with Witch Hazel for Clinically Proven Results in 1 Day, Fragrance Free, 0.75 fl. oz

I bought this previously for the occasional pimple but then started using Squalene oil as a face moisturizer in October of last year and didn't see another pimple. However, I left for a long road trip at the start of the year and had run out of the moisturizer so I switched to Cera-Ve. Worst choice ever! I think it's because it has sunscreen in it. Within a couple weeks of switching, I ended up with 5-6 pimples on my face at once--I think the most I've ever had.RED AND PEELINGLuckily I brought this spot treatment with me. Using it one or two days in a row worked on some, but there was a persistent one above my left eye that I applied it a few times a day for a day or two. I think I wasn't putting enough product on in a single application, you have to coat the area. Because I wasn't using enough each time, I had to prolong my use of this and it did cause my skin to turn red, but the pimple went away. Two days later, with no moisturizer (and I tend to have dryer skin), the skin painlessly peeled/flaked off that small spot and there was no sign of acne there anymore.A similar thing happened under my right eye where I had a persistent pimple. I applied the product a bit more heavily there and it disappeared within a day or two. There was a bit of redness left behind, and I have some what sensitive skin, but the skin just flaked off that little spot too and there is no evidence I had a pimple at all! I still have a few on my chin because I stopped using the product only because the redness it was causing scared me. However, now that I've seen that the peeling is temporary and painless, I will use this again today to get rid of those last few pimples. Great news because I have plans this weekend!MY ADVICEBecause this product works, I ordered the three-part Advantage system with cleaner, treatment, and moisturizer and it should be in today. Overall, very happy with it, but if you have a stubborn pimple, I would make sure you're fully coating it when you apply this and if you have very sensitive skin, maybe don't apply it two or three times in a row like I did. With that said, my skin did clear within 48 hours and my pimples otherwise may have lingered for a week or more, so what more could you want?By the way, I didn't notice a fragrance...

I really like this product. It does exactly what it states. It calms the skin and gets rid of the redness overnight. Highly recommend it!

I have the definition of combination skin. In my t-zone, it's all oil, all the time. When you get to the areas surrounding my cheeks and chin, it's a desert. And, I have problem skin. Lovely to be me, right?So I've been using this product forever, it's great in a pinch when you need to shrink a pimple for the following day, and cover it up with make-up, but it's not really a treatment per se. Recently, I've discovered the best way to actually use this product rather than the one stop solution I've been using it as for the past several years.Basically, I use my TreeActiv Anti Acne & Rosacea Treatment Sulfur Mask Plus Rhassoul, Bentonite Clay Mask with Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera - Refreshing Lemon Scent (1 Jar) (4 Oz) three times a week, which helps prevent future pimples, deep cleans my pores, and also evens out my complexion. Directly after using the mask, I use the C & C spot treatment, which works on the existing pimples, zapping them dead in their tracks. Now, here comes the important part, I use TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back! (60ml) as a disinfectant for my skin.Why do I need a disinfectant you ask? Because salicylic acid works as an acid does, sort of burning a hole through your zit, making it smaller, but also making it extremely susceptible to more bacteria which creates, as you guessed it, more pimples.After using this regimen for a couple of weeks I am completely satisfied with my skin, and will continue to use all of these products in this way. I recommend the C & C, it's an excellent product, and with all products, you have to use more than just one to solve adult acne problems.

The item works great on blackheads and zits. This is a great item to keep on hand.

I had a pretty big angry red pimple on my chin and this cleared it up flat overnight. Totally worth 9 dollars. Would recommend and repurchase.

Works great!

Not very effective. Previous formula was more effective. Did not even Reduce pimple size.
