Works like a charm!
I had hormonal acne flare up all over my face. I used this paired with Murad Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser. I used a drop of both on my Clarisonic. Followed it up with Murad Acne Spot Lightening Gel. Then sealed it with Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion. Went to sleep AND BOOM! The next morning my ski...

Not as good as other one :(
I LOVED the Murad Acne Spot Fast Fix with the benzoyl peroxide in it, it worked PERFECTLY and helped my breakout soooo much. I am so sad they discontinued it. I tried this one and I feel like it makes my skin WORSE. Very disappointed that I can't find the one with benzoyl peroxide and that they disc...

This is hands down the best acne product I've ever used. I've been struggling with severe acne for years and after using this for about a week now, I see a dramatic improvement.
Love it!

I use on any issue. I've used on pre-teen granddaughter for the break-outs at her swimcap hair line and new grandbabies for those little spots that pop up from nursing and pacifier. There's no pain, no smell and no burning! Most spots are gone by morning or that night.
Overnight Improvement!!!
I can't live without this. I usually use the Murad Deep Relief for my adult acne which has worked great but does take a few days to clear things up, and my 3 cysts were absolutely killing me.. bought this praying it would do as it claims and it worked!!!! I woke up today and they're literally 1/2 the size and no longer painful! I will never be without!
Zit Sauce
I have trouble with the painful, cystic acne, particularly around my chin and if I catch it fast enough, especially when it hurts but isn't visible yet, it'll vanish within a few hours. The sooner, the better but it'll reduce them at any stage. It will make my skin peel after several applications (some of my blemishes are pretty tough). It has a medicine-y type of smell that fades as it dries. I love that it's clear. I'm 44 and wish I had this in my youth!
Things get worse?
I put this on a couple spots overnight and they are worse (red and whiteheads) the next day. Is that supposed to happen? :(
