Dr. Lin Skincare Acne Spot Corrector - 1 oz

Received a sample in a beauty box years ago. Has been my go to ever since.

I would never be without this stuff I'm a light skinned AA woman and I started breaking out so bad in my late 30's and 40's and thought why now I've tried every thing from Proactive to Murad to Retin-A to Differin I was so embarrassed not only by the acne but those pesky brown spots left behind. When I first bought this at CVS I thought it was going to dry my skin out terribly with the 5% benzyl peroxide but to my surprise it seemed to moisturize and it faded my brown spots. It took about 3-4 weeks before I saw a big difference but it worked for me and it's worth a try. I use a pea size all over day and night and I don't really breakout anymore accept for the one or two when mother nature calls. The first time in years I don't need heavy makeup coverage. I read Dr Lin's story why he decided to create this affordable stuff because he was an acne sufferer and he knows what BP can do to skin causing peeling and redness on top of the acne, So he made something more gentle and affordable for teenagers and those of us on a budget. I know this has changed by cystic acne which always hurt to just clear skin. Give it a try and God Bless!!!

I purchased this product because of all the great reviews. I wanted to try it mainly on my acne scars - I have red spots from previous blemishes. Truthfully, this product did nothing for the scars I already have, and I was very disappointed by that. BUT, I am very impressed with the way it has healed my current blemishes. I had a pimple that was forming; you know, those slow-growing, sore spot pimples. I applied this spot cream twice daily and the blemish went away in 3-5 days. It never reached the stage where it was ready to pop (the most painful stage, and also the most tempting to pick at).I also scraped my nose and had a strip of raw skin exposed. Obviously I was worried it would scar badly. I've been putting this product on that scrape and it's healed up really nicely with what seems to be minimal scarring, so far.In conclusion - absolutely great for pimples and blemishes just starting to heal....didn't work for already scarred spots.

I've struggled with acne all of my life. After taking Accutane, most of my acne has calmed down but I will still get hormonal adult acne in my chin and mouth area from time to time. I've tried the Clean&Clear spot treatment, Mario Badescu drying lotion, Kate Somerville, the Clinique acne line... EVERYTHING. Then my sister (who also struggles with acne) recommended this spot corrector and said she swore her life by it. Tried it hesitantly because I've never heard of this brand before but it works magic. My acne is calmed down by the next morning. Took me 3 nights of applying this corrector and my face was clear of it's break out. I apply it every night in that area now.

I love this product! The first one I bought was from Ulta. Since then the one near me doesn't carry it anymore so I'm glad I found it at Amazon. Both my husband and I use it for the occasional pimple. It usually takes care of the problem overnight or at least significantly reduced redness and swelling. Best acne product I've tried.

I got this trial size product in an ipsy bag and tied it. LOVED IT but it was too expensive on their site. Found it at just the right price on Amazon and will continue to get this great product. I have combo skin and used salysidic acid type products for years. Battled redness and more irritation than clearer skin. This Stuff doesn't do either of those things... truly a great acne fighter. Conditions a bit too. No dryness to it the next morning.

Love this stuff.. I don't understand why its hard to find

Honestly I purchased this product because of the reviews I have acne with dark spots wanted it mostly for my dark spots. I applied it a few times to see if redness will go away and to see if my dark spots would clear up a little and unfortunately it did not work for me not eve reduce redness that was my experience on this product. If it works for you I'm glad it did but it did not work for me.
