Worked for Me!
By Amazon Reviewer on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2020
I bought this previously for the occasional pimple but then started using Squalene oil as a face moisturizer in October of last year and didn't see another pimple. However, I left for a long road trip at the start of the year and had run out of the moisturizer so I switched to Cera-Ve. Worst choice ever! I think it's because it has sunscreen in it. Within a couple weeks of switching, I ended up with 5-6 pimples on my face at once--I think the most I've ever had. RED AND PEELING Luckily I brought this spot treatment with me. Using it one or two days in a row worked on some, but there was a persistent one above my left eye that I applied it a few times a day for a day or two. I think I wasn't putting enough product on in a single application, you have to coat the area. Because I wasn't using enough each time, I had to prolong my use of this and it did cause my skin to turn red, but the pimple went away. Two days later, with no moisturizer (and I tend to have dryer skin), the skin painlessly peeled/flaked off that small spot and there was no sign of acne there anymore. A similar thing happened under my right eye where I had a persistent pimple. I applied the product a bit more heavily there and it disappeared within a day or two. There was a bit of redness left behind, and I have some what sensitive skin, but the skin just flaked off that little spot too and there is no evidence I had a pimple at all! I still have a few on my chin because I stopped using the product only because the redness it was causing scared me. However, now that I've seen that the peeling is temporary and painless, I will use this again today to get rid of those last few pimples. Great news because I have plans this weekend! MY ADVICE Because this product works, I ordered the three-part Advantage system with cleaner, treatment, and moisturizer and it should be in today. Overall, very happy with it, but if you have a stubborn pimple, I would make sure you're fully coating it when you apply this and if you have very sensitive skin, maybe don't apply it two or three times in a row like I did. With that said, my skin did clear within 48 hours and my pimples otherwise may have lingered for a week or more, so what more could you want? By the way, I didn't notice a fragrance...

Its longevity is low. Not very efficient at removing or reducing acne.
