I've used this for years as that last resort protection for those major breakouts. It certainly "kills" the infection and aids in quick healing. It's great for drying out blemishes so you can still wear makeup for a period of time.

My skin has changed a lot since i used this product.
To be fair i must say i didnt use this product alone. What i have done, i stopped using product contain Retinol which made me crazy break out (finally i found out, still left me some scars which i hope will fade). I also use the whole Clean & Clear advantage pimple control kit. And i also apply Benzac AC 5% after i apply this C&C gel for double safety.
My skin has improved a lot now. At least i dont have to hide my face under heavy make up.
This gel works great for pimples/acne which is just forming. When i see a new bump start forming, i apply this gel and seal with Benzac AC 5% (i have both so i use them both, but you can use just the gel is fine, it also works). The bump will be disappear within 24-36 hours without any sign of exist.
For the pimples which are already forming, this gel will help the white head show up faster so its easier to pop (i always pop my pimples/acne when the white head is harder, i know its bad but i cant resist it).
It also help with inflame and redness. I found my pimples are less painful and redness when i apply this gel.
Its a clear gel consistency, the smell is not too strong and fine under make up.
Overall i quite like it. Its not 100% working within 24 hours like advertised, but it definitely works.
This was quite effective in drying out the pimple and I would always wake up in the morning (after applying it the night before) with noticeable improvements. It is quite pricey though, for such a small tube so I would recommend using sparingly.
Tips: I found that the entire advantage pimple control kit was quite drying and not particularly suited for those who have normal or dry skin.
This product was good enough for me as i very rarely get pimples or blemishes but i probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has drastic skin problems. it takes quite a while for this to work and to be honest i didn't really notice much of a difference throughout the day and only really noticed it the next morning. however it does get rid of pimples quicker than they would go naturally so to be honest it worked for me
Tips: Apply it at night so it has time to work without you playing with it
I am a lucky person that doesnt get alot of pimples but when I do they are not the smallest things. I love this product as I put it on at night time and in the morning I can see the difference. I use it for the next couple of days and then they go away within a week. I would reckon this product to anyone who is looking for something to work on primples. I do have to say that when the tube gets to the end it is hard to get the last little bit out. But well worth it
Tips: Also use on a clean face and when you get to the end. Cut it off and use a cotton Bud to get the last little bit out
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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.
To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about this product. I always wonder whether it was the product that cleared up my skin or just the fact that it's run its course.
In saying that if you are looking for something to help dry out your pimples this is great.
