Quick Take: mattifying, intensive
I love this product. It dries up the blemish and heals it in a few days compared to having it there for weeks. And the tube last for months.

This is the best acne spot treatment that I have found. Usually clears up blemishes in 2-3 days, but they are definitely less noticeable after 1.

Works but product finishes fast!
-02.23.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
I've tried proactiv & neutragena, but nothing helped my acne it just worsened it. This product actually began working after the first day, it does take a few days to clear though. I've only been using it for 10 days & the tube is half empty already.

Pretty clear
-01.07.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
I never had acne, other than the occasional 'monthly' pimple, until i turned 35. I tried alot of products, mostly the wrong ones, until I started shopping Sephora. This is a great spot treatment. There are a few others that are pretty good as well. I think you just have to find the right one- or ones for yourself. My acne doesn't go away overnight, but when I use this spot treatment twice a day, it goes away slowly without leaving a messy spot on my face. i notice the tenderness and redness dissipate when I use this, so I recommend giving it a try.

Stinky.
-11.18.11
Quick Take: gentle formula, intensive, smells terrible, effective
Sulfur works great on my skin... Only problem is, it smells absolutely putrid. I only use this and the Retinol clearing lotion at night with a really amazing lotion during the day and fortunately it seems to be perfect for clearing my skin! Works awesome, would be 5-stars if it weren't for having to change out my pillowcases every single morning due to the stink.

Good, but not great
-11.06.11
I just can't tell how well this product is actually working for me... It takes a couple days for any blemishes to clear up while using this - and that's how long they take to go away for me normally.
It doesn't make me break out any further. It might speed up the process a tiny bit...
Bottom line: I don't feel like I should return the product. I'll just use it up, and probably try a different brand when I'm done with this one.

best i've used
-10.23.11
Quick Take: gentle formula, fast-acting, effective
I'm 27 and still struggle with break outs... this spot treatment works wonders. It's very fast-acting, and still gentle enough on the skin that it doesn't dry out my skin and leave flakiness. Seriously the best $18 I've spent.

Quick Take: gentle formula, mattifying, intensive
I just purchased this on monday 10/17/11 and it has been less than a week and this has done wonders for my breakouts and them little annoying scars it left behind after using the clinique 3-step system and i love this stuff!! its gentle on my skin i will be repuschasing when i run out! :) i was using clean and clear spot treatment but it would burn my skin badly, leave it red and make it itch so i bought this as an alternative and i love it this is a must in your skin care ladies ! :) i dont ever write reviews on items i purchase but i had to for all the philosophy products i have purchased!!

So far, so good. I'm trying the full package of Clear Day products for the first time. It was going wonderfully, but just after my last menstrual cycle I had a pretty noticeable breakout. So we'll see.

the only product i have found that works wonders on those deep, under-the-skin pimples that havent even come out yet and on the ones that are already out in the process of healing. a little bit goes a long way!
