I used this as part of the whole kit (except for the toner).
This product is not intended to be used daily, it is for treating those annoying breakouts and help clear them away faster. I believe this product does exactly that.
It is a gel-based product that should be used sparingly. When I use it, I put a tiny dot onto my middle finger and then dab it onto any ugly pimples. I do it at night time before I go to bed after I have cleaned my face.
I find when I use this the pimples dry out and are gone in half the usual amount of time. It helps with those deep ugly pimples that never come to a head as it dries them out and kills the infection. Obviously it is not a miracle treatment, the pimples don't go away over night, but they definitely don't stick around on me as long as they do when I don't use the treatment.
The packaging is not so great, as it won't stand up. This means when you get half way through it's a bit of a mission to squeeze it out. I solve this problem by standing it up in a cup in my bathroom cabinet.
I tried this with the entire range of Clean and Clear Advantage products and this is the only one that worked for me, and in my opinion really lived up to it's claims.
It comes in quite a small tube, but as you only need to use a small amount it does last quite some time. The thing that I didn't like about the tube though was that I found I often ended up squeezing far too much gel out so a lot of product was wasted.
The gel itself does smell a tad chemically, but that's to be expected from something that has 2% salicylic acid and it's not too overpowering. The gel dries very quickly so I applied a small amount to spots after using the Clean & Clear toner and before moisturising so that my skin would get the full effect of it.
Although blemishes didn't vanish overnight, I did find this treatment was incredibly effective in treating my pimples over a few days. I think it's fantastic value for an acne treatment product at such a low price and would recommend this for anyone with acne-prone skin.
Tips: Be careful as you squeeze the tube to avoid wasting product.
