Treat it
This advanced treatment is something to think about, the price is a little out of my budget but I tried it once and that was good enough to say others should try it as well!
I did a lot of research before buying this, which was ranked one of the top acne spot treatments. It's good quality, but it did not help reduce the appearance of spot or help them fade away faster, which was disappointing. Still waiting to see if it will prevents acne marks... Slow process.
I bought this gel because my skin tends to act out at random times and I was hoping to find a gel to control it. For starters I hated the size of it as I really wish it was a little bigger for the $11 I am paying. It is a slightly grey-ish looking gel that has a bit of a smell. I didn't think it was too strong though, since some of the other gels i've used have been worse. I apply it twice a day which I feel results in me going through the tube fairly quickly. It does work well though, since overnight I can usually see several pimples have gone down while others have completely dissapeared. The best part about this gel was the fact that it reduced my pimples (the ones that really hurt to touch or even hurt while you're moving that part of the face! I HATE those!) over a span of a day or two versus the usual week it took without the gel. So as much as I loved the results of this gel, I definitely did not feel that it was worth that much money. The cap is practically half the size of the tube, which makes it look bigger than it actually is. Something that I absolutely did not like was the fact that it peels! Especially during the summer when you wear it during the day, you can't put any moisturizer over it and it's hard to put on makeup over it also. I usually go sans makeup the day i'm break out to allow the medicine to do it's thing. I've noticed though that the gel works almost as effectively if you put it on top of a moisturizer! This is what i started doing near the end of the tube because I have the typical T-zone combination skin and it's important for me to moisturize otherwise I tend to breakout even more. So as a summary:
Pros: got rid of my pimples quickly before they had time to leave scars, smell was not as strong as some of the other products I've used. Works as effectively over the moisturizer unlike some other gels i've used.
Cons: the size is I feel way too small for the $11 they charge, It tends to peel which makes me look like my skin is peeling in public (not a very pretty sight!), can't wear makeup on top of it during the day
