This review is from: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion, 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

This does seem to work, surprisingly, as described. It is a light non-greasy moisturizer, and yet it seems to help fight acne also, at the same time! I've almost completed the bottle and I will continue to purchase this product. It does help control oil (for a short while), doesn't sting at all, has a pleasant but light citrus scent, and it really does work double-duty as a light moisturizer and acne lotion.

Update 3/23: This is still working for me, and I still love it. Normally by now I would be discouraged with the acne product and be ready to try something else, but not this time.

Update 08/2011: Back for more; this is still working well for me so I've stuck with it.

This review is from: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion, 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

For the past several years I used Aveeno Clear Complexion Correcting Treatment to prevent and clear the blemishes I get with hormonal fluctuations. It was 0.5% salicylic acid and worked well without over-drying my "maturing" skin. When it was discontinued, I bought up all the leftover tubes I could find...and when those finally ran out, I scoured the stores and internet for a replacement. I tried two or three pricey products. Not only were they drying, my skin seemed to "rebound" and I was getting what I would characterize as persistent, moderate acne. So there I was with a red, flakey, zitty face, when I decided to try the Neutrogena Rapid Clear lotion. I thought the 2% salicylic acid would be too much, but I'm happy to report that the lotion is soothing and not overdrying at all. I use a thin layer over my entire face morning and night. I have been using it for a couple of months, and in the first two weeks my skin did indeed "rapidly clear." I am not even really getting much in the way of my usual monthly breakouts. In fact, I think it works better than the Aveeno. Ah, relief. Glad I bought the three pack.

I use this spot gel on my occasional, mild to moderate acne and it really does diminish the appearance and pain of any emerging zits I get. It works especially well overnight when the skin is more relaxed. From personal experience, however, I don't recommend using such salicylic acid acne gels on large areas of skin over lengthy periods of time. In the past, it worked so well for me that I thought, "Why not use it as an everyday acne treatment to prevent acne? I could use this for my entire T-zone area!" How foolish that turned out to be, because I ended up with irritated skin and more acne where there formerly was not any. After all, it is called a "spot gel" for a reason. With that said, a small dab used directly on a zit will suffice.

I feel the need to add a disclaimer here. As one of the other reviewers stated, each person reacts differently to different remedies, so it is advisable to try a slight amount first. I personally have combination type skin, and this gel does not "burn" nor even dry my skin. Also, the very first review on this gel sounds suspiciously extreme.
