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...

It works on my hormonal/stress acne
Verified Reviewer

I'm in my 40s and rarely have skin problems, but recently I had a breakout of hormonal acne from stress… my face was red, itchy and uncomfortable all along my jawline and chin and it felt like a bigger breakout was brewing. I went out and grabbed this gel and the affected area improved overnight after one application. Better still after the second use the next morning. The price may seem high for a small bottle, but it's a lot cheaper than a dermatologist appointment. In fact, it's literally cheaper than my office visit co-pay to see my primary care doctor. So I have no problem paying this price for such an effective product.

The product sample was small and the instructions weren't clear if it was to be used as a cleanser or as a cream or how long to leave it for, as most of the acne products I use are washes or scrubs, I used it in the shower and while lathering it into my face it made no bubbles or any type of reaction. It was super thin much like how moisturizers are. So I wasn't sure what to do next, I did wash it off though and noticed no differences. My experience was based on a really small sample so given a larger sample i could've actually reviewed the affects on my face over a period of time. Something to keep in mind too is that this smells super harsh like chemicals and stung just a bit.
