[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Still some melanin scarring and I had to get over the initial dryness, BUT my bare skin feels good now! The Salicylic acid active ingredient has historically worked well for me, so I am thankful Clinique chose it for this product, amongst other options. Happy me :)

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Effective but a tad drying

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was expecting this gel to have an off putting scent but it didn't, unlike many acne products. It was effective at helping my recent breakout go away more quickly but it did leave my skin feeling pretty dry afterwards.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had just gotten a pimple on my nose a day after I got this product. I applied it, it did burn a little, but by the end of the day the pimple had shrunk dramatically and redness gone!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
