Most Helpful Positive Review This is magic This is a spot treatment, so I use it it by putting a little on the back of my hand and then use my finger to dab on the acne (be careful squeezing the tube, more will come out than you will need). I've been looking for the past few years for an acne medication to use. I mostly have hormonal acne that presents itself in the form of cysts that either stay that way or turn into white heads. The day I used this for the first time at night; I had a huge cystic painful pimple, a few white heads, and a few smaller red pimples. It burned on some of them when I dabbed the treatment. I woke up the next day and the pimples were less red and reduced in size by 50%. I used it in the morning and evening the second day and now on the morning of the third day, all my pimples are almost completely eradicated. I've told all my friends about this magic spot treatment!!!!! I have not experienced any cons with this product. This is specifically for oily and combo skin. I have normal to combo skin and have not experienced any dryness or flakiness, but I use a good hydrating moisturizer afterwords. Someone with dry skin might flake with this spot treatment. That's the only con I can think that would occur, but that's not necessarily the product's fault, the consumer needs to do their research and read reviews based on their skin type - people with dry skin should likely not use this.
Most Helpful Critical Review Gave me a breakout. :( I tried this product because my sister loved it and said that it cleared her acne. I wanted to try it because I had a small pimple on my chin that wouldn't go away. At first I saw no difference so I decided to use it every other night hoping it would eliminate my pimple. Sadly, I noticed that the opposite had happened. I have sensitive skin and was worried about getting a breakout. I noticed that after 2 week of using this product my one pimple turned into like 10 all over my face and my skin was red and irritated. I was very sad to have this result since I know many people love this product. I didn't want to write a review because of that but I figured it might be helpful for anyone with sensitive skin like me. I think it's just because of my skin type since it worked really well on my sister but was not good for me.

The product is a bit sticky but it works really well. You will tend to see results around 2 days after use.
So good! 5
Sharon from Undisclosed
The best pimple cream I've used. My sister swears by it and told me about to help my maskne at the time. It works really well. I put it on at night and the next day I see a difference; after 2 nights, the pimple is usually gone or dried up. It does burn at times but so worth it
Go to acne treatment 5
Felicia from California
I use this any time a pimple pops up. If a patch can't help, I use this until it comes to a head and I can use a patch. Granted, it dries a little tacky so fuzz can stick to it
Works but so leaky!!! 3
AR from New York, NY
I use this before bed as well as in the morning (a plus is that it's clear so it can be worn during the day/when you're in public) and I see a difference in pimple size within 42 hours for sure. HOWEVER I will not be buying this product again as the gel just oozes out constantly and it is so messy and inconvenient. When I open it, it's leaky, after I squeeze, it's leaky. If Acure would just reconstruct the packaging to maybe have a pump, it would be so much better functionally. I will be finding a new spot treatment for this reason but would buy this again in the future if the packaging changes
Great for clearing spots overnight 5

My son has trouble skin going through puberty and this is a fabulous way to control his spots. I feel better about him using this product than a junky drugstore brand. #sweepstakes

I started getting large zits at 40 (ugh) that would just magically appear. Using this clear acne spot treatment at night, I was able to combat the bad boys and wake up with less redness and less of a GIANT lump. After two days of application, I was about to zap the zit and get on with my life. It's a handy treatment when I have a zit 911 emergency.

Holy grail but impossibly hard to find 5
Mo from Indianapolis
I've tried lots of acne treatments that claimed to get rid of breakouts quickly, only to be disappointed. I don't know how Acure's 2% Salicylic Acid is different, but it is! This stuff is amazing but hard to find in stores. Maybe it will be easier to find in an emergency now that I'm in a different state.
would buy again 5
Carol from Undisclosed
It is taking a while to work for my son but it is great that it is not harsh
Absolutely works ! 5
M. from Florida
Today I tried to order but realized it was out of stock. When will it be available? This is an excellent product and really would like to order.
Thank you !
Great product, effective 5
AM from Bay Area, CA
I really like this product, it's pretty effective at reducing acne and helps it heal faster by reducing redness and inflammation if you've picked at any. I'm guilty of that and will dab this stuff on after cleaning my face and as the last step in my skincare routine (I prefer to put it on last so it doesn't get spread all over my face when I moisturize). I have normal skin that sometimes gets dry but this product doesn't cause dry skin or flaking for me. I previously used the Alba equivalent of this and it wasn't as effective, this gel will take out smaller pimples after 1-3 applications, bigger ones that are more stubborn will take longer to go away depending on how bad it is, but if you're diligent about applying this stuff it will help a lot. If I'm lucky enough to feel a pimple forming I'll put this stuff on right away and it always helps to prevent it from getting bigger. Like other reviewers said, it will sting if you apply it to open pimples, but it's a temporary inconvenience that goes away after 1-2 minutes.
Expired product 1
Mahe from New York
I just recently purchased this item and it came in the mail just a week ago and it says on the box that the expiration date that it expires 2/21! How is this possible? Was I sold an expired product or is that how long it lasts?
Works wonders! 5
Mollee from OR
I love this stuff! It is a little more liquidy then other things I've used, but this stuff seriously works wonders. I would use it twice a day and by day three the pimple was gone with no scaring! If the pimple is open (like when you try and pop it) it stings a little when you put it on but that goes away rather fast. It's a clear liquid that really changes the game if you have oily skin like me and get acne in the t-zone. Highly recommend this!
Drippy mess 1
Jill an Stuff from Akron, Oh
Product arrived leaking and stayed that way. Not gel very liquid. Not strong enough to get rid of my acne -maybe diluted? I'll stick with my cheap clean & clear.
Amazing!! 5
Mirelis from Undisclosed
I loooove this product. I bought the patches from another company and it did nothing. I bought this product used it for a day or two and it cleared my skin. My niece is now using it too.
Works great! 4
Rey W. from Undisclosed
This helps control breakouts on my face. It doesn't work as fast as I'd like it to and it feels a bit weird on my face, but it gets the job done.
Great acne spot treatment! 5
Cristina T. from Undisclosed
I have acne prone skin and I use this to help tame my breakouts! It does not tingle or have any sensation when I apply it. Great product!

works but... 4
Ali from New York
So this definitely reduces my pimples overnight (I normally get acne on my chin) but it burns 😬 it only lasts the first few minutes but it's enough to make me uncomfortable
Daughter loves it. She feels 5

Daughter loves it. She feels that it helps clear and heal acne spots.
Most effective spot treatment I have ever used 5
Amy B. from Undisclosed
I have no idea what's different about this spot treatment, but oh my goodness, it really works! This has staved off so many breakouts that have popped up around my cheeks and nose while also not drying out my skin. I feel it working as soon as I put it on: there is a nice tingling sensation but it never burns. Love it. Great value for the price.
worked soo well 5
jaz from CA
ive been using it for about 2-3 weeks and it seriously cleared up my dark spots on my face! if you have dark spots from past pimples, i definitely recommend it! just make sure to use it everyday:) 10/10
It works alright 4
Mariana L. from Undisclosed
I've applied this products to the few breakouts I had because of the weather change and hormonal acne I get every once in a while. It dried whiteheads in around 2 to 3 days! The tingling/itchy sensation is very annoying but only lasts for 5 minutes.
Obsessed! 5
Amy E. from Undisclosed
This is without a doubt the BEST acne spot product i've ever used. I struggle with hormonal acne on my chin around my time of the month, one drop of this rubbed all on my chin before bed and by the time I wake up in the morning its noticeably better. It doesn't burn, it's not too sticky, it's a nice consistency. I just love it!
