Love it!
Used for a very painful pimple that was embedded under my skin. Put it in the area for a day or two, white head appeared, kept applying and then the pimple just dried up and vanish! I love this product! I will definitely keep using it!!
Makes skin peel

Hate the new formula. Irritates my daughter's skin, causes redness and makes her skin peel. Bring back the old 1% salicylic acid product!

The Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Advanced Clearing Gel works wonders! I had a stubborn bump pop up, dabbed a little of this gel on it, and let me tell you, it burned at first, but that bump dried up faster than cornbread left in the oven too long. 😂 By the next day, it was noticeably smaller and on its way out. I love that it actually does what it says and doesn't just sit on my skin pretending to work. If you're looking for something that goes to battle with breakouts, this is it!
