  • The second you put it on, the powerful gel with breakthrough technology starts 
    to dissolve surface oil on the skin.

    2% Salicylic acid.
  • Pimples are reduced in size, swelling and redness, and the formula won’t 
    over-dry your skin.

Fast results, but strong!

I got this as part of the Clean & Clear Advantage Kit. The kit has a smaller version of this spot gel. The 5g tube is very tiny, and wouldn't last very long; I feel like it doesn't include enough product.

The gel comes in a silver and navy tube, the packaging is nothing flash, but the gel comes out a tiny nozzle, which is handy as it prevents wastage of product.

The gel has a really strong chemical scent, that can be quite offputting and it gives me the impression that some of the ingredients in ths aren't so good for the skin.

This works however, incredibly well. Everytime I've ever use this on a spot, this helped clear it up within the next day, so this product defininitely serves its purpose well. It does sting quite a lot though and can be painful, which does make me think this isn't doing good things for my skin, but oh well.

This is quite affordable, and works very well and I'd recommend this to those wanting a quick spot treatment who aren't worried about treating their skin with more natural products.

Tips: Use a very small amount as this is very strong and effective, and too much can cause stinging.

Suuper Strong!

I bought this product when I had a major breakout right before a date night. I had 12 hours to get rid/disguise a terrible breakout and chose this gel due to the 'reduce pimples in 4 hours' claim.

I washed my hands and applied it straight on when I got home. The first thing I noticed was the strong tingling sensation I felt. It was uncomfortable and I felt the need to wash it off but persevered and left it on. This gel actually worked really well. It dried out the acne and by the time I was ready to head out, all the bumps/texture was gone and I was able to cover up the slight redness left over with foundation/concealer. It did however dry out the skin around the breakout. I feel like you may need to apply this gel precisely as it did agitate the surrounding skin a bit.

I wouldn't use this product on a daily/weekly basis due to how much it dried up my skin and how harsh it felt. This is a good emergency product and is handy to have around though.

Tips: Try not to apply too much gel (especially if you have sensitive skin) as this can be very drying/irritable.

Excellent stuff

This is a must, I have quite bad skin and the spot gel is amazing and I see a difference over night, would definitely recommend to people with acne or just the odd pimple

Tips: It works great after using the clean and clear cleanser, toner and moisturizer

Miraculous and so cheap!

I got a dreaded spot on my face, and decided to see if these products would actually work. I applied it last after my skincare routine, straight onto the red spot. It wasn't a large spot or anything, and it had just recently appeared.Straight after application, it feels a little burny, sort of like applying alcohol onto a small scratch. Miraculously, after about half a day, the redness had gone, and the whole spot was pretty much gone! I have now used it a few times on spots if they show up. Sometimes, they work miracles. Some spots just stay the same. I guess it depends on what sort of spot you're having.

Tips: It's in a tiny container and you don't have to touch the gel with your fingers at all. Carry it around with you, keep applying it. And don't put it near your eyes or mouth!

Unsure

I found this one toe be quite temperamental. On certain pimples it would help diminish/lessen them over night but others it made them worse, and if applied to certain areas on my face it would make me break out. With having combination skin (oily, dry, sometimes sensitive - the whole shebang) I don't think the product is quite right for combination skin

Wow this stuff is magic!!

I was put off by fast clearing spot gels a few years back when another company had one and was a little more expensive than this gel and did nothing, but having a pretty decent breakout and spotting this version on special as I shopped I caved and threw it into the trolley.

Design wise this is a very sleek tubed product that is in keeping with the rest of the Clean & Clear Advantage range in shades of grey and purple. The slim design means it is handy to toss into your handbag or keep on your bedside counter without taking up too much room, I did both of these as I was clearing up my outbreak.

The formula is a gloopy white creamy gel that has a sheer shimmer to it in the sunlight, but once applied to the area on your face that needs treating it rubs into nothing as it is fast absorbed into your skin. It works pretty fast too within a few hours I went from having a few very sore looking pimples to just some light bumps on the face that lost both size and painfulness. I kept using this treatment on and off for 48 hours and found that the pimples dried out and disappeared completely.

I now keep a tube on my vanity for any sudden outbreak to nip it in the butt there and then, also when I see it on special again I'm planning on getting another tube for in the handbag so I am fully prepared!!

Does more than what it says

I found that this product did work on my existing pimples to reduce size and appearance. However I did also find that if I was to get and of the gel on the skin around my pimple it would bring out more pimples in that area. to me this slightly annoying but can be minimized by careful use.

Tips: I prefer to use this at night as i can be assured it won't bring out any more pimple during the day.

Little life saver!

I had a huge blemish on my chin that decided to arrive a couple days before I had a job interview. No amount of makeup was covering this blemish adequately (if anything it made it look worse - if possible)! I had been trying another product that did absolutely nothing to help this blemish. After reading BR reviews I decided to give this a try and am so thankful I did! This stuff definitely helped reduce the redness and size of my blemish within a few hours of the first application. I do have sensitive skin and find this product does sting a little when first applied to the blemish but the sting does go away quickly - and I can't say I mind a bit of sting if the product works (which this does!). It has a nice consistency - not too runny and not too thick so spreads easily and a little goes a long way. There is no smell to this product either which I liked.

Overall I have been quite impressed with this product and will definitely be purchasing this again!

Tips: Use morning and night and your blemish will reduce/go away in no time :)

My savior

When I first bought this (mid last year) I did not really think or believe this would do much for me or my breakouts. I've tried so many of these "fast clearing" spot gels from different brands that I felt it really was a lost cause.

So, I washed my face, and pat it dry, popped a small dollop of the Clean & Clear advantage fast clearing spot gel on each of my spots, tied my hair up and fell asleep. The next morning, I was excited to see my face, jumped out of bed and went straight to the mirror - and lucky I did! The size had reduced DRAMATICALLY, the redness disappeared, and honestly, I could not have been happier! I used it for the next 3 nights - until it totally disappeared... yes they vanished. Whenever I feel a spot coming, I quickly use it before it becomes another mountain on my face, and I swear it works.

Ever since, I have probably been through 3 tubes! It is definitely my go to when I get a breakout, or think I'm about to get a breakout. I highly recommend this

Tips: I suggest you moisturise, then pop it on your spots (be generous when applying) - apply it around 2-3 times a day on the effected area, and ta-da! It honestly works for me :)

Wasn't effective

I didn't find this pimple cream to be effective at all. I didn't really notice any difference to my pimples, overtime the size of my pimple eventually reduced as it dried up, but I found that this spot treatment didn't speed up the healing process. I didn't notice any change in the redness of my pimples either. I used this cream morning and night, but still didn't get the results that I was expecting.

The texture is this cream is gel like. The tiny nozzle makes it easy to squeeze out the right amount of product. It may seem like a small tube but there is really a lot of product in this tube, so it will definitely last you ages.

Overall, I was very disappointed that this product didn't work for me, and I have started using a different spot treatment. Obviously this didn't work for my skin, but judging by the other reviews it might be worth giving it a go if you can get it on sale.
