Acne Spot Treatment with Salicylic Acid & Grapefruit,1 oz

So I would like to just clarify as well that around the same time of starting to use this product, I've also increased the amount of water I drink in a day, which is also a factor in skin clearing! But wow, this is amazing. I have fairly oily/combination (mostly oily) sensitive skin. I have a couple problem areas on my face that acne seems to just reside no matter what I do, and it's been like this for over 5 years, (mainly on my left cheek and here and there elsewhere on my face), I've used endless amounts of topical treatments, face washes, moisturizers, toners, etc, and nothing seems to have worked, besides drying out my skin, which makes it breakout more-- with more oil. It's like a constant red area on my face that I'm extremely self conscious about, that seems to constantly have redness and acne, and my parents and I have debated whether or not it's rosacea on top of acne. After using this for around 3 weeks, (along with the increase in water), looking at my face now, it looks like the redness has been dramatically reduced in comparison to what it was before! I apply it after I wash my face (in the morning and in the evening), after I tone my face, and before moisturize. It's been helping out with my acne in various spots of my face, and has even helped the seemingly impossible area on my face that has been one of the banes of my existence for the past 5+ years. I'm so thoroughly impressed with this product so far, and I hope it never stops working, because I love it so much. It doesn't dry out my face, it smells a little odd, but not unpleasant, my skin is completely fine with it (sensitive remember!), and it works. You don't need much, but it will seem to sting a little bit upon application, but after a while (like overnight) the spot reduces quite a bit dependent on the area of your face and oil production in that area, and may take a couple days of application to completely eradicate the spot. All in all, once this runs out (and there's still so much more), I will definitely purchase this once again!

This stuff is amazing!! And the way it literally clears up blemishes overnight is spooky. Cause I’m like, if this is that powerful is it suppose to even be on your skin? But oh my goodness. My pimples literally faded in a matter of 24 hours and look non existent after only 2 days. I had a sporadic breakout out of no where and this cleared it right out. But I will warn you. This is a quick fix. Not something to use everyday alone have a set regimen you stick to thoroughly throughout the week. Take care of your skin. Eat the right foods and always stay full of water. People hate to hear this but it’s the truth. Take care of yourself.This spot treatment is definitely a back up for quick results! I use it every night before bed cause I have things to do in the day time and this on your face, by itself, does not have an appealing finish. Least not to me. Overall great treatment and I’m going to order more just to have on hand. 💎

I have fibromyalgia which has caused my skin to be extremely unbalanced and sensitive, and develop malassezia. This product really meets all those needs. The natural ingredients don't aggravate my skin. They reduce node type acne quickly and the citrus is very brightening. After a prolonged breakout, introducing this product reduced my splotches within a couple applications. The thin texture also makes it easy to spread evenly over the whole face with a relatively small amount. The 5% salycilic acid is more concentrated than the Clearasil spot treatment gel (2%), which had some effects when I was using it, but this product is much more so and much quicker.Things of note:It smells strongly of clove, which is a scent I happen to like but it's not something that can be ignored so if you don't like that smell beware.It is also a little bit (very little) sticky for a while before it fully dries down.

The Amazon listing for this product says all over that it contains salicylic acid. That's simply not true. If it contained salicylic acid it would have to be labeled properly, according to FDA regulations.Here's what the manufacturer said when I asked:"Our salicylic acid comes from Wildcrafted Willow Bark Extract. Willow Bark Extract is a natural source of salicylic acid, not the chemical version (which would not be allowed in our products). The INCI description of this ingredient is "Salix Alba Bark Extract (Willow Bark)" and not the chemical version Salicylic Acid. The chemical version of Salicylic Acid is considered a "drug" by the FDA, and not a cosmetic product. I have also reached out to our online team to make this distinction clearer on the Amazon product page, so as not to confuse the chemical version vs. the natural version. Chemicals produced in labs are not allowed in any of our products."The statement above is nonsense, as are all the claims on the Amazon listing that this product contains salicylic acid. There's no "natural" version of salicylic acid, full stop. It's possible to synthesize it from willow bark extract - in a lab. Willow bark is a SOURCE of salicylates (specifically, salicin), which may then be chemically converted into salicylic acid, but is NOT salicylic acid itself.I bought this product specifically because it said it contained salicylic acid. It doesn't. There is no "natural" alternative for topical-use salicylic acid. If you want the results of the real thing, stick with products that show the real salicylic acid on a proper FDA label.
