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

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!
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
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.
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.
I got this product as part of a kit with the C&C advantage pimple control toner and spot clearing gel. (There is a moisturiser also that's part of the kit, but I did not use that product.) While the system is effective in my experience, they are not partciuarly pleasant products to use..
This gel has a strong chemical smell to it, which is an aspect that I assume may be a bit off-putting for some. However, with this type of product I think that is probably quite normal. It's a clear gel and is unnoticable once it's dried on your face.
I find that it works well if you apply it directly to spots at least twice a day, it doesn't seem to be effective enough when applied only once daily. Whether the pimple is just beginning to rear or it's a full raging zit, applying the gel twice daily for one or two days will reduce it.
If you're after a lower-price range zit zapping product that works, this is a good option.
This is my (and my husband's) go-to item for clearing pimples. It works fast to reduce pimple size and redness, especially those painful, pus-filled ones (yuck!).
My husband is one of those people who can't resist popping pimples and he ends up with red, painful spots. Once he started using this gel, he has reduced his habit (not completely though...men!) a lot and has much better skin.
The gel does dry out the skin a bit, but that's what I would expect from a spot treatment anyway. It can smell quite strong at first but I got used to it.
I always carry it with me when I travel, just in case! The compact size makes it easy to fit in any makeup or toiletry bag. I love the nozzle tip as it makes it easy to control how much product to squeeze out.
Tips: Apply a thicker coating at night before bed and apply a light layer before moisturising in the morning for faster results.
I tried this at a time when I had quite bad acne, but didn't notice a difference. I used it along with the moisturiser and face wash gel, as they all came in a set. I used it nightly on my problem areas, and although it felt soothing, I didn't notice a difference with the acne itself! A bit disappointed.
I have used this product many times as I don't use it too often as my skin is generally quite clear but when I do have the odd breakout I apply this and the next day the reduction is very noticeable. I feel it definately speeds up the process of healing. Not sure how it would wok on someone who suffers more acne but on random pimples / spots this stuff works great! And it doesn't feel or smell like it is full of so many chemicals like many of these treatments are.
Tips: Small amount on area and leave overnight - works best at bedtime when face is makeup free
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.
