On-the-Spot Acne Treatment - It REALLY Works!!!


Neutrogena's
On-the-Spot Acne Treatment

This is not meant to sound like an advertisement at all so please don't take it to mean this, I have just been using this product for years and it definitely works for me, so I thought I'd share.  I do not get paid to say this stuff :)

I have suffered with acne for years and have tried EVERYTHING!!!

I found this "On-the-Spot" Acne Treatment by accident really or you could say just out of desperation.  I have never been someone whose face breaks out everywhere but more just a breakout spot here or there but pretty consistent. I saw this on the drugstore shelf one day and out of sheer desperation just decided to try it...no one told me about it and after trying it, I was furious that NO ONE had said anything to me about it  before, because...IT WORKS!!!

When I have a breakout, I just dab a little of this on in the morning before or even after applying my makeup (probably better to do it before applying the make up :), rub it in a little and i'm on my way.  Then after a long day, I wash my make up off, towel dry and then dab a little more on before I go to bed.  Make sure it dries before laying down :).  The directions state you can apply it 2-3 times per day and of course, they recommend using it on freshly cleaned skin. :)

I'm telling you...most blemishes will be gone in a day or two, depending on how large they were.  Better to dab this on as you see one starting to form.  

I've read a lot of reviews about it to see if it really is this good or if it's just me and most of the reviews are in agreement with me. I have read a lot of reviews about it being really expensive and I would agree if I were spreading this all over my face, but honestly, its not really designed for that, thus the "On-the-Spot"name.  In my experience, it only takes a very small dab of this product to cover a spot, so if used this way, it actually lasts quite a while.

Now this isn't a MIRACLE by any means, but for those of us who struggle with breakouts, it sure will feel like one!  I swear by this and everyone I have introduced this to, thanks me.

Try it, you won't regret it!
