Doesn't work
I have hormonal acne and been suffering for years. Had tried many products... Whenever I saw someone suggested a spot treatment product I will definitely buy it. That's how I fell into the trap. This doesn't work at all on my skin... Of course, I read so many good reviews on this.. however, the magic doesn't work on my skin. My acne/pimple was just the same. No shrink. no nothing. Super disappointed.

Brilliant product
I have a sensitive combination skin with occasional acne breakouts along with regular blackheads. I do suffer from dry and sore patches too, so my skin is a bit of a minefield. I'm really glad I spotted this product. It calms spots for sure. Not only that, but it really does shrink blackheads and lessen oil! And because it contains salicylic acid, I've also managed to cut out my salicylic acid wash which was quite drying and I just use this instead before my serums on my spot prone areas and use a milder face wash all over instead. So this means that the spot prone areas get their fix of salicylic acid AND succinic acid and my drier areas don't get dried out and sore. Win win! I really rate this product and would recommend it to anyone with acne or blackhead problems and also as a replacement for anyone having issues with salicylic acid wash drying them out.

Unsure..
So for the price point, I think this brand is amazing. I also LOVE lots of their products. However this didn't really work for me. I have very oily skin and am prone to hormonal breakouts. So I love a spot treatment that I can 'feel' working. When I applied in the evening, I found no significant difference in the morning. I have found far more effective results with other products. I found this product very gentle, so this will be great to try if you have sensitive skin.

Amazing
I could not find a good spot treatment for a while (and I have been trying a lot for the past 6 years!). I have been using benzoyl peroxide 10% for 3 years, and it is the only one that worked for me for the past 3 years or so, and lately, it became hard to find any. I am at my last 2 tubes, and also the tubes are huge and expire after only 3 months, so I sometimes find myself throwing an almost full one since my skin is breaking out less and less for the past year or so. Gave it a chance. The price is nice, the tube can be used for up to 6 months, and it does not stain clothes and pillows like BP. Can be used under masks and during the day. It really starts working fast, like a few hours after you put it on. Really helps bad acne in like 3 days or so. Small whiteheads can be even cured in 3 hours or overnight. I found it helpful on irritated pores I get sometimes on my belly or chest. I am thinking about using only that and let go of my BP for good.

Outstanding
This is the best spot cream I have ever used. It is amazing, it just does the job. My spot was gone within a day, I can't recommend this product enough.

Didnt work for me
I've been using it for 12 weeks now and it didn't do much for my acne. On the bright side, it didn't cause me any irritation even though I've got dry and sensitive skin.

Bought this several times!!
Absolutely great for oily acne prone skin!! I have bought this three times for myself and also as small gifts for my sisters. Dab a little onto the blemish and watch it disappear over time. I’ve also used this where my skin may feel congested eg on the forehead and it just helps to make the skin feel and appear cleaner.

No Difference
With this acne treatment, I didn’t see an obvious difference after using, my breakouts remained pretty much the same. My breakouts are usually hormonal, arriving once a month. Saying this, I didn’t experience any reaction to the product.

Amazing
I’ve tried this last week and I loved it. Most of my blemishes gone completely the next morning the ones that remained was much reduced and they dint hurt so much. I don’t like the smell of it but it’s so affective that I don’t mind at all of that.
