Neutrogena Rapid clear fight and fade 2 in 1 gel

Hi Everyone,

I hope your enjoying the school is about to end and it's finals week. Meaning stress levels just went up and through the roof. Blemishes start to pop out and amongst other things. Today I will be reviewing the rapid clear 2 in 1 fight and fade gel from Neutrogena. I ran out of my clinique spot treatment and didn't have time to go to the mall. I just dropped by my local CVS and grabbed this spot treatment.

Product Claims:
Get a unique 2-in-1 formula that reduces breakouts in 8 hours and fades the look of post-acne marks for clearer, more even toned skin. Neutrogena Rapid Clear® Fight & Fade 2-In-1 Gel is the first acne treatment clinically shown to quickly reduce breakouts in 8 hours and fade the marks acne can leave behind.

MicroClear® technology cuts through oil to quickly deliver acne-fighting salicylic acid deep into pores, which visibly reduces pimples in hours-not days. And, Glycolic Acid accelerates skin cell renewal to fade the look of post-acne marks for visible results in just one week.
  • Dermatologist tested
  • MicroClear® technology
  • Fast-absorbing gel


Product Expereince:

This like any spot treatments comes in a nice tube you get about 5 g of product. This particular brand uses salicylic acid as the main ingredients. The products comes in a clear plastic tube and the product itself has clear orange tint to it. What I do is after I have finished with my skin care routine I placed my moisturizer on I just dab some of this product on my blemishes. It's supposed to contains glycolic acid , to lighten the spot after it has healed. I also noticed that this product stings and if you place this under your moisturizer it can break down your moisturizer.

Pros:
Inexpensive and widely available
Uses salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide
comes in a clear plastic tube

Cons:
The product stings!!!! when placed on your blemish
Breaks down moisturizers, place this on top of your moisturizer or let the product dry first before using your moisturizer.

I should have known better for whatever reason salicylic acid doesn't work well on me compared to benzoyl peroxide. I have stopped using this product because it just didn't work for me. I didn't notice any of my post acne spots lightening.
