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.

This product does work really well, but it can be a little abrasive if you have sensitive skin. I'd recommend using it every other day, but no doubt it does exactly what it says! Would repurchase
so far so good

This burned my skin so badly and made my skin feel less clean than before. I don't have sensitive skin but wow this was bad. I didn't even want to try it a second time. I was really excited for this and it let me down. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes.
Couldn't really tell if it worked

The sample size I received wasn't big enough to use more than twice so I couldn't really tell if the product had any kind of improvement on my skin. However, I do think that it could be effective if used as a spot treatment.
Great

Super great for my combo skin! Rid acne with out drying, so happy with the results :) thank you so much Clinique! It's on the pricey side for skin care, especially similar acne treatments that can be easy to find affordable alternatives, but if you can manage to spend a bit of extra cash would recommend.
