5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, found on film and tv sets, effective on acne AND Rosecea, July 4, 2009

This review is from: Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Fight and Fade Gel, 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

I would not be without this product.

I was introduced to this product by a make-up artist on a cable tv shoot. It is amazing when dealing with a sudden breakout, and even minor rosecea.

I have found that results are seen within hours during the day,and certainly overnight.

This is a spot treatment product (do NOT attempt to slather it everywhere!) and is strong enough so that you use very little, yet see a dramatic result.

Guy's need not worry-- the package is uinisex,and the small size makes it easy to put in a gym bag, case or backpack. The 3 pack makes it easy to keep one at home, one at work and one wherever.

Depending upon the break out , when you put it on there may be a minor sting, or more frequently just a cooling effect. It does NOT dry with either a sticky shine nor residue that is common with other products.

As I tend to break out in the same area on my face, I use this every other day, just once in the AM, unless there is a breakout ( which has been very infrequent after using this).

I find each tube lasts well over a month or more, which makes this quite affordable. As I said before, a little goes a LONG way.

Though I don't think I live in a cave, I do not recall seeing many ad's for this particular item, and never mentioned for rosecea.

Perhaps my experience is unique, but minor rosecea flare-ups seem to respond VERY well.

For those who suffer from this, you already know how flare-ups can occur with a less than perfect diet, or times of stress. And it hurts! And it looks bad!

From a guy's perspective, a flare up of any kind of acne can really be hard to deal with - 95% of the time I am NOT on a set, nor can I feel comfortable wearing conceler or make-up in the real world!

This can be critical during a meeting or job interview or sales pitch - it is essential you look your best.

In this (or any) economy, there is nothing worse than feeling that people are looking at bumps on your face! Yikes!

Been there, done that, for sure. It takes you off your game, is a horrid feeling.

With Rapid-Clear/Fight and Fade, I think you do have a quick-fix , that works. Even if you use it infrequently, it is a great "insurance policy" to have on hand "just in case".

A high quality product that can be used by the entire family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised, March 14, 2009

By 

M. Lynch "nerdgirl" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

I have been struggling with adult acne for a couple of years now, and it's gotten steadily worse. Products that used to work for my skin (such as benzoyl peroxide) stopped doing the trick as my skin went from combination to oily. As the acne on the lower half of my face got worse and worse, it began leaving ugly scars that made it seem like nothing had cleared up at all.

So, I was very pleased that this product does work as advertised. It is by no means a "miracle" cure, but it has faded the marks on my face so that they are less noticeable. I have a couple of big red dots on my chin that have faded to a lighter pink color since I began using this product. It would've normally taken about six months before it started to lighten at all. (Benzoyl peroxide does help to fade my acne scars fast, but it dries out my skin terribly to the point where it overproduces oil and even more zits!)

My skin also breaks out with less frequency. When it does break out, pimpes heal faster and leave less scarring.

The gel contains 2 percent salicylic acid as well as glycolic acid. Unlike products with b.p., this gel goes on clear. Be aware that it can take a while to dry and that it can peel or rub off. It is not super noticeable, though.

My complaints with this product have to do with the amount of product and the price. I purchase mine at the drugstore and pay about 10 bucks for a .5 ounce tube. I'd say it's worth it for the effects, but I do wonder if there is a similar, cheaper product out there. I also notice that when I get to the last third of the tube, the product appears to separate so that there is an oily layer and a gel layer. Shaking the tube to mix it back up helps, but I wonder if the product is losing effectiveness. This is after having it for only a few weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best product ever!, May 11, 2010

This review is from: Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Fight and Fade Gel, 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

I have had minor acne since puberty (now 28) and absolutely nothing has ever given me confidence like this item. I don't HOPE that I don't break out anymore, with this, I KNOW I won't break out. I decided to give this a shot when I saw it due to it's claim to fade old acne spots. I was using an expensive Clinique product before but it was really expensive and I didn't see a lot of results. This product goes on clear and non sticky..I actually think it feels good! If you have a breakout, spot treat and it will be nearly, if not completely, gone overnight. With continued use I hardly break out EVER. I break out in the same areas all the time, so I use a pea sized amount every night in those areas and it's completely preventative. It's so affordable and a little lasts a long time. I really hope this product never stops being made, I honestly don't know what I would do without it! Give it a shot, I think you will love it!
