Most Helpful Positive Review New user I just started using this blemish gel. It hasn't dried out my skin like other blemish treatments.
I have mild adult acne breakouts occasionally and so far this product has worked great.
Most Helpful Critical Review Great Brand, But Don't Bother With This A good spot treatment is necessary for anyone (teen or adult) that ever gets acne blemishes. In terms of reducing the severity and duration of blemishes and breakouts, this product just doesn't cut it. I get occasional hormonal adult acne around the chin and jaw, and rely regularly on spot treatments to manage these mild breakouts. Skyn Iceland's Anti-Blemish Gel just doesn't work. It includes a number of gentle, hydrating ingredients that keep it from irritating the skin or stinging any broken skin, but the acne-fighting salicylic acid in the Willow Bark just doesn't cut it. Even other spot treatments with salicylic acid are more effective, and sulfur-based treatments have (in my experience) worked far better.
Skyn Iceland has an impressive range of skincare products, but this one is definitely a dud.

I put this on when I saw a huge pimple forming under my skin. It was completely gone the next morning. I don't understand how it worked that fast, but it did.
Works great 5
Lea from Columbus GA
I use this gel in the pm as the last step in my routine (even after heavy sleeping packs) and my skin looks much better in the morning! It helps a lot with whiteheads and the mean deep big pimples.
Pros:
the small tube lasts forever.
The gel is invisible what I really like.
It takes me 3-5 days to get rid of pustules and cystic acne (without the gel it takes 2-3 weeks)
Cons:
I can't wear it under makeup because it starts to peel of when I buff in my foundation.
I don't like the packaging. It's not easy to get the right amount and the gel always slightly leaks at the tip.
Definitely worth it! 5

there were mixed reviews but I still went for it. my skin is almost clear after one week! before it seemed like every pore had some sort of blemish or discoloration... I got the face wash along with this and the night cream and my skin hasnt been this beautiful in months. (I have hormonal and cystic acne!)
Great for breakouts. It works really well. 4
Victoria from Round Rock, Texas
Great product, not an overnight solution, but it still works amazingly. I put this on my breakout spots on my face last night and this morning there was definite improvement. Some of the breakouts were a lot smaller and a few of the tiny ones were almost gone or not that visible. I used it again this morning. I love that it is gentle on my face, no burning or drying. So because of that the fact that it does work a bit slower is fine with me. I will purchase again.
Totally replaced other spot treatments in my skincare regime 5

I use this gel when I have a breakout -- small whiteheads or raw/open spots. For me, this will dramatically reduce everything (redness, swelling, etc.) by the next morning if I apply it very generously (like a mask) and let it dry then go to sleep with it on. If I use it for a few days in a row, the whole flare up seems to go away.
I don't know that it works as well on blackheads, because they're going to need to be cleaned out first. And pretty much nothing does much for a cyst that's already popped up. With that said, I find this way more effective than alternatives (benzoyl peroxide and plain salicylic acids).
Good for inflammation but not very effective on cystic acne 3

I really like that it is clear and you only need a tiny bit. After it dries you definitely don't feel the same level of irritation than you did before applying it. It doesn't feel tight or gummy on the skin either, so it is possible (though I haven't personally tried) to apply makeup on top of it without disturbing it if you know how to do it properly and gently. It reduces inflammation but even after using it for weeks I can't say it has actually made a single blemish disappear, though my guess is that, like most products designed to work on blemishes and breakouts, it works better on traditional whitehead style pimples as opposed to cystic acne.
Just great 5

Favorite Spot Treatment 5
Kate from Boston, MA
I don't have severe acne but tend to get black/whiteheads all over my nose, and the occasional pimple. A few weeks ago I started noticing blackheads reappearing on my nose, and then realized I had forgotten to use this for almost a week. After just a couple days of use, my nose was smooth and pores were minimized. When a breakout does pop up, I use this before bed and within one day the breakout is minimized, and two days its fully gone. Also a little goes a long way so it lasts forever!

Sweepstakes entry - This product worked exactly as I imagined. Eased the redness, inflammation, and was refreshing. I would suggest to those with moderate to minimal acne use this product.
Only thing that worked on my skin 5
Erika kay from Royal oak, MI
I use the product twice a day to help get rid of those links that just seem to hang and chill forever. What makes this product so great is that nothing the doctor gave me worked like this product does. Things that aren't great about it is the size of the bottle. I would like the option to buy a bigger size.
Disappointing 2
FionA from Seattle, WA
I was a bit disappointed as I love Skyn's fresh start mask, but this blemish gel did very little. On the goodside it reduces inflammation and redness but did nothing to shorten the lifespan of a pimple.
