Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Daily Leave-On Mask

I consider this my holy grail acne product. After years of dealing with hormonal cystic acne flare ups, somewhere on the Internet this product was recommended to me and it has been a game changer. I’ve been using this product for about five years now. If you ever get blind pimples you need to try this product. I have found it’s effective on all forms of acne!Pros: Overnight improvement. The only product I’ve tried that can bring a blind people to the surface is 24-48 hours ( sometimes as little as 12) Small textured bumps are diminished as well.Cons: If you’re the type of person waging a war with constant acne, you typically need to continually use this or breakouts can resurface. Because of the formula this can be very drying and cause flakiness. It’s up to you to find the right balance of how much to apply for it to be effective ( usually doesn’t take much)My routine: I use cetaphil (off brand is fine) to cleanse, combined with a nightly use of this product and then use a Q-tip saturated with water dipped in tea tree oil dabbed on dark spots. I’ve seen so much difference using this routine. But proceed cautiously because this product is strong and tea tree oil must be diluted and used sparingly or can cause minor chemical burns.

I really do love this product. It doesn't flair my skin up, doesn't feel thick or heavy, and goes on nicely under moisturizer. But why, ...WHY is it so friggin expensive now? Come on Neutrogena! I remember purchasing this originally under 15 bucks. Now it $54+! That's sad.

I bought it to treat cystic acne. So far it has done nothing.

I have been using this product for over a year now and it has completely removed all of my acne. I had acne on my forehead and my nose area. Within a week I could see a HUGE difference. This product is so good I tell all my friends about it and they all have had the same experience as me. This also last a really long time, last time I bought this was in November 2018 and I ran out and bought a new one May 2019. The ONLY thing about this, is that it makes you dry in the areas you apply it. This is not a big issue for me because I just moisturizer after and it makes it all better. I recommend this 100%!

My dermatologist gave me a sample bottle of this and I loved it. I have combination skin, cystic acne, and a very red tone. Within days of using the combination of a probiotic wash and this my skin was nearly perfect. The face mask blurred my pores, reduced redness, and made a huge difference in reducing the size of my acne. I honestly think it’s doing a better job than my face wash, I recommend using a light moisturizer and letting it dry before applying the mask!

This says it's a mask but you have to have very tough skin after about 5 mins your skin is on fire and needs to be washed right away. I have cystic acne and my doctor recommended I try something like this but my skin is just way to sensitive it seems to have made things worse it felt like my skin was burning off. I even did it for two weeks to see if I could get use to it and only did it once a day instead of three and still had bad burning. If you have sensitive skin this might not be the best product to use.

I just had to share my experience. I started to develop scalp folliculitis about 2 years ago and it never went away. Even after multiple trips to the dermatologist, multiple courses of doxycycline and erythromycin, and of course hundreds of dollars, it just kept coming back. Even the erythromycin started to lose its effectiveness. It helped in the beginning, but eventually I quit using it altogether because it just stopped working.So I did some research and stumbled across a forum thread where others had shared their success with this product after trying everything. Skeptical, I bought it. Luckily, I haven't looked back. I don't use it religiously, and I still get an occasional bump, but the difference is remarkable. I'm no longer in pain nor embarrassed by all the unsightly bumps on my head. You be the judge. I hope this helps someone else struggling with this annoying affliction.

I'm glad I got this instead of another higher consentration of bp cream. This one works great. I use it mostly on my jaw line and chest (where I breakout worst). My acne went away quickly and nothing else has cropped up. It is very drying so don't skip moisturizer after or you may have some peeling and sensitivity.
