I like to use this product more as a preventative measure for my problem areas rather than a spot treatment for current breakouts. I find the benzoyl peroxide works better as a pre-treatment and the salicylic acid works better for clearing up existing problems.
I have been using this as a spot treatment for at least 6 years. I tried another spot treatment this year just to see how it compared to this one and had an allergic reaction to it, so I switched back. I will never use another spot treatment again! This is great for sensitive skin, but also very effective with quick results. Blemishes/pimples don't stand a chance. Mine never take more than a day to clear up.
I like that this has 0.5% benzoyl peroxide, and this ingredient works so well for me to combat those stubborn ugly pimples. Helps reduce blemish size; and I also found out that this contains some moisturizers to offset the dryness that can occur with the benzoyl peroxide. The only thing I don't like is the consistency of the gel/lotion. It is a little thick, and it can fall off if it rubs against a pillow or something.
