How to Use

Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer 1-3 times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with 1 application daily, then gradually increase to 2-3 times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.

Precautions: For external use only. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using if you are using other topical acne medications at the same time or immediately following use of this product. This may increase dryness or irritation of the skin. If this occurs, only one medication should be used unless directed by a doctor. When using this product avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

body{margin-left:12%}Product ReviewsRated 4.25 out of 5 stars473 ReviewsMost Helpful Positive ReviewFinally, a solution that worksI actually had great skin as a teen and young adult, relatively speaking. The acne issues didn't start until my 30s. I do not have oily skin - in fact, very much the opposite. What I do have are issues with both cystic acne and milia (small bumps that are almost like a blackhead but you can't just dig them out - you have to get them professionally removed or over time exfoliate the skin off that lays on top of them) that frequently would get infected and turn into terrible deep whiteheads that took forever to heal, almost exclusively on my chin and jaw. I can't even tell you how much money I've spent on spot treatments to try to get rid of the acne once it shows up. I always figured that since my skin was so dry to start that no product would EVER work for me to control the acne before it starts, especially without totally destroying my skin, right? Wrong. A thin layer of this stuff across my chin and jaw (used more like a serum than an after the fact spot treatment) every morning before moisturizer provides just enough gentle daily exfoliation and pore clearing (without irritation!!!) that my acne has been reduced from a spot or two or more at a time ALL the time to maybe one to two spots per month, and even those are much smaller and don't last nearly as long as what I'm used to. I honestly hesitated writing this review for a long time because I was afraid I was going to jinx myself. I will include this product in my routine for as long as philosophy makes it.Most Helpful Critical ReviewNo effect at all!i use this as soon as a pimple starts and it has no effect. i have used it a few different times. for the price of it, I was expecting something great. The cheap Clean & clear spot treatment i used to use is much more effective and i'll be going back to that.Reviewed by 473 customersThey Don't Even Ship It to You1Jersey1978 from undisclosedI hve no idea how good it is, as they never sent it with my order and have not responded to my repeated attempts to contact them.GREAT5Taylorrr from Mckinney, TexasAMAZING PRODUCT. So helpful with my acne issues and such.Didn't work2Glenna from Los Angeles, CAThis was not fast acting and it barely dried out my acne. Just didn't work altogether.Works fast!5Nachofanatic from FloridaAfter wearing a mask for weeks on end, I had some serious breakouts that wouldn't go away. This stuff has been a miracle!Love this product!5Tessa from NYI am a teen and I use the spot treatment. I love the texture, and the pump on the bottle is great too. I like salicylic acid a lot and this product works great. This spot treatment is the best working one I ha e ever tried. I love this product and I would definitely recommend.Game changer4Ajoll from ConnecticutMy teenage daughter has been using this for about a year, in addition to the acne pads. It does not dry her face out like other products have in the past. She loves the products. Her skin has been clear since. It is worth the moneyGood Product4MN Gal from MinnesotaI use the one-step facial cleanser from Philosophy so decided to try this product out. I saw results after the first time I used it. I still saw results after continued use but just not as fast. I also use this on pimples that are just starting to pop up and it helps stops them from appearing on my face and gets rid of them more quickly. This product does work, you just need to be patient.Worked so fast!4Happy Grandma from Price, UtahWhen I purchased this item, I had a huge breakout between my eyes. I was surprised that in just 24 hours the swelling had gone down noticeably and the blemish was drying up.Best skin clearing product ever5Makeup Addict from NYCThis is hands-down the best spot treatment on the market. I had never used any Philosophy bath products before and didn't even know they did skincare. I got it on sale and now willingly pay full price for it.Doesn't work1So from Clarksville TNBought this and used it for over a week and the acne is still there didn't even make it smaller. Then more started popping up to.This is a game changer5Katie from San Antonio, TXThis stuff is amazing! I have tried SO many different acne treatments and just gave up because I saw no results. I saw results overnight with this product! I use it twice a day and it clears my skin up insanely fast it's scary. I even showed my boyfriend my results which he was surprised too. My breakouts are stubborn but this is able to do the trick against them! 10/10Fast-Acting5Sammi from Salt Lake CityGranted we all have different skin types this may or may not work for you. But here's my experience: A day after I bought this (and hadn't used it yet) ironically my forehead started to break-out really bad. I quickly rinsed off the area and applied this to my forehead. Within an hour my skin had calmed down and within another hour you could barely tell what had been happening to it. As I don't typically have chronic acne, this works amazing for my sporadic breakouts.Doesn't help1jmace from DallasThis product did nothing for me and in some instances seemed to create more acne.Best ever! Works every time!5Anna from Newtown SquareSometimes I use it 3 times a day on acne. Also, I can put it on top of my make up.Love This Product!5Nattie from Hoboken, njI've been using this product for several months now, and I've seen a significant change in my skin. I am a person who has been battling acne for over 10 years, and I've tried many, many treatment options. This has been my favorite to date, and it really does work. I'm so happy I found it and wish I had tried it sooner!Would not buy this product again1Joseline from San Marcos, CAI was recommended to this product by someone who works at the store and I used it just like told to do so and I got a rash and it irritated my skin really bad.Love this stuff, a lot...5brinad from undisclosedLove this stuff, a lot gentler than the Murad spot treatment and just as effective! Does a great job at spot treating my breakouts.Works well!5Beabob from Ypsilanti, MI.My face was breaking out, pustules until I tried Clear Days Ahead fast-acting spot treatment, a miracle worker! Used twice a day, no more pustules. Now I use it once a day before bedtime. I'm 65-years young. My granddaughter loves it as well.Same active...5melissaq2069 from undisclosedSame active ingredients as the murad acne spot treatment but SO much cheaper! Super gentle can use it at night or under makeup!Amazing!5Vienna gal from Vienna VAThis product makes most blemishes disappear overnight if they arent too advanced. It gets rid of more advanced ones faster than any other product I've used. It seems to reduce the appearance of scars after the blemish is gone.This product worked at...3xojo from undisclosedThis product worked at first for me, but after using it for a while, it wasn't effective anymore. I stopped using it for about 2 months to make sure that my skin didn't build a tolerance to it but I tried using it again and it still proved to be ineffective. There are other more effective spot treatments out there.Philosophy products...4mamaleebabyg from undisclosedPhilosophy products are great for my skin! They are gentle yet effective. This worked well to get rid of blemishes and didnt cause my skin to feel tight or breakout more. I definitely recommend.Works beautifully....5glowgurlglow from undisclosedWorks beautifully. Leave this product on for a bit and you see results right away. Smells good. Price is good. Would recommend.Can't live without!5Elmo1 from Madison, WII have been using thus product for years and panic whenever i get near the bottom of the bottle. It nips blemishes in the bud and heals any skin imperfection or scratch I may get in record time. Never dries out my skin in any season. It is my favorite Philosophy productWorks!5Gonzo from Columbus, MSI've been using this for a few months now, and it works fast. It cleared my stress acne within a weekend.
