Still not sure

I like that this is only 5% Benzoyl Peroxide, because 10% is waaay too strong for me. Typically I use Neutrogena's On The Spot cream which is 2,5 percent benzoyl peroxide. However, I must be honest and say that I'm not sure that the little extra strength of this product as opposed to my normal product is any more effective. My skin seemed to clear up much faster just with my normal cream than with...read more this, but I haven't experienced any extra dryness which is typically associated with higher strength benzoyl peroxide.

Eh...

I have a sample of this and I'm just not in love with it. I use the Clinique spot treatment gel, which is similar to this, and I like it (the gel, not this) much better. This product calls itself a lotion, but I've found it difficult to spread over my skin. For having "lotion" in the name, I don't find it to be moisturizing AT ALL. I also don't think it works nearly as well as the gel does at trea...read moreting and preventing acne breakouts. When I went to Sephora to buy a new bottle of the gel, I picked up this gel lotion by mistake and I promptly returned to the store to exchange it for the correct product. I'm just not impressed with this one.

The best ever

I've tried many types of benzoyl and this is the best. I use the spot treatment gel as preventive daily, but use this when I have the occasional breakout and need tha anti-bacterial properties of benzoyl peroxide.

Works ok

It does the job but I prefer their treatment gel for a pop up pimple.

Works pretty well

I have used this for the occasional zit that gets too annoying. It works decently to get redness out, but for the price I have found drugstore brands that work just as well. If not better!

effective product

I liked the way this product helped clear up my acne without drying my skin out. I use it as I need it, & it is fine under makeup.

Absolutely Love!

My sister gave me this product after she did not want it. I tried it the other night on a pimple I had. It did not take long before the pimple was gone. I have struggled with other acne remedies and had okay results. This product when gone I will buy again myself. I only wish had known about it sooner. I had a couple of bad breakouts in early Summer. Better late than never I guess.

Zit Banishment

I amSo excited to have bee introduced to this treasure. It seems that everytime i have an event where i want to look my best up pops a zit. There to make me worry about my appearance and not enjoy myself. Then i discovered this Emergency lotion. And poof after a few dabs a day on it, it disappears and even with a bare face i have a hard time even seeing where that darn zit was sprouting up. What a priceless gem this Lotion is.

did not go well with me!

I had a few pimples that came out from being stressed lately. I wanted something that worked fast, and I saw that Clinique had this product so I picked it up. It contains 5% benzoyl peroxide so I thought it would work fabulously. I spot treated, not slapped it all over my face. Thanks goodness! I woke up the next morning, pimple still there and unreduced, and not only that, the entire area that...read more I got the gel on completely dried out. My skin literally felt like a dish scrubber, totally disgusting. I had to really apply the lotion for it to smooth out in 2 days. I tried the product again just in case.. and it happened again. I had to exchange it.
