Finally Available in Larger Size!!
I believe this is the same product as the Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel. It certainly looks, feels and smells the same. I have been buying this product in its smaller size for years and finally it is available in a larger size. It's great for spot treatments but now I am using a light layer on m...

there is a noticable difference on my face when i don't use this product. it is so good at drying out pimples and making them just go away and you can even use it under makeup!! i've never had any issues with peeling. this and the acne solutions toners are my holy grails for acne. i started struggling with hormonal acne when i turned 20 and their products have helped me get my confidence back! thank you clinique < 3

My kid has had really persistent acne since 4th grade and we have tried it all (masks & spot treatments & cleansers & moisturizers & patches) but this is the first thing that consistently works across their whole face. I cannot recommend this product enough.
It works, but buyer beware
This product did help reduce a couple of pimples I had recently. However, I have naturally dry/sensitive skin and this product dried those spots out a LOT! I'm talking peeling, parched, tender dry!! Perhaps I had a reaction but I caution anyone with dry skin or sensitive skin to use this carefully!
Love it
Applied to my sensitive skin and the blemish was gone in less than a week. Love it.
very pleasantly surprised!
ive been struggling with acne for more than ten years and this has helped me clear my skin way more in less than two weeks than any other product ive used for years. it is very drying but paired with a salicylic acid serum and the cerave moisturizer i literally have glass skin now. definitely worth the money.
