Didn't notice a difference in my skin
-01.21.13
After reading the reviews I decided to give this product a try; however, I wish I had settled on Murad or something else. I waited a couple of days to give it time to start working, but that never happened. It didn't do anything bad to my skin, it just didn't help it at all. The product itself was a bit too runny and didn't really seem like an acne product. I wouldn't recommend this to someone else.

Not worth it
-01.07.13
Quick Take: doesn't work, smells
Tried this spot treatment because I like other Bliss products, but I didn't see any immediate results. I don't have chronic acne or anything, but I get the occasional zit and want to treat it fast. This gel also has a funny chemical smell. Doesn't seem to be drying but also doesn't seem to be working. I'll go back to Murad and not purchase this again.

Works fast
-10.15.12
I normally get a zit here and there and use this to dry it up. However, I just had a severe bout of acne after a Depo Provera injection. It was so bad, I thought it was a rash. I applied the Bliss spot treatment over the affected area before I went to sleep (I didn't add any other serums or moisturizers) and when I woke up, a lot of the inflammation had gone down and redness faded. I still had acne bumps but they looked much smaller and less severe. I applied every morning (with moisturizer around the affected area but not directly on the same place where I used the Bliss product) and every night. Within a few days, all acne was cleared and people keep commenting on how great my skin looks. This product really works.
It doesn't have a strong scent, isn't oily, and not overly drying even though it contains 2% Salicylic Acid.
I'd like to note that the day after I finished using the Bliss spot treatment, I applied The Brazilian Peel Glycolic Acid peel and it literally peeled the skin off my face where I was appllying the Bliss spot treatment - enough to cause the area to scab over. I guess the Salicylic and Glycolic acids shouldn't mix.

Quick Take: very gentle
i do love bliss products...but this didnt work on my daughter's acne or on my 1 blemish.
i did give it two stars as it is totally gentle & did not cause 1 bit of redness for my girl's sensitive skin..still looking for that cream that will help both tof us.

-08.20.12
i've never had to use a zit cream before, but in the last year or so (since around the time i turned 35), i've gotten some random whiteheads. this stuff works wonders. i see results immediately, even just after the first application. it doesn't dry out my skin or cause flakiness. does as promised.

Great to Use
-08.02.12
Quick Take: non-drying
I use this as a supplement to my Origins spot treatment. It's not as drying as the Origins so I can slather it on an area (I know it says for spot treatment) and not fear my skin peeling the following day. It does work just as well - I wake up to very diminished break-outs. Just have to remember to use as soon as you see signs of a break-out coming up and not once it's appeared and full-flamed.

Quick Take: amazing, perfect, life saver
So far, it's done nothing but wonders when I use it! When I breakout, I apply it a couple of times a day to my troubled areas and a few hours later I can already tell the difference. I fell in love with this product the first time I applied it; I completely recommend it to anyone! After you apply it, it doesn't leave an oily mess like some other acne treatment products. It not noticeable at all and you don't even feel it on your skin; the only reason you can tell you're wearing it is the first couple of seconds after you apply it because you can smell the product, which isn't a bad smell at all.

A must!
-06.14.12
Quick Take: effective
i do have pretty decent skin, but one pimple really stands out on my fair skin. Dab this stuff on individual pimples, do not rub in! I think it must need a little bit of layering, bc i swear this step makes a Huge difference... can be worn day/night. i had the beginnings of a deep blemish last night and this morning it was already at a head. its good stuff!

Quick Take: intensive
This product is really great for preventing pimples. If I ever feel a pimple coming on, I just put some of this on the spot, and 9/10 times, it really works. As for putting it on active pimples, it's just okay for me. Maybe it's because I have more break outs that I don't see a lot of results with the treatment, but it doesn't work too well for me. I would say get it if you just have a few pimples here and there. It's a reasonable price, and a little goes a long way.

-04.06.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
This is a great acne spot treatment. It dries quickly, and has actually really helped my skin look better. I've tried just about every product on the market, but this one actually works. It doesn't irritate or dry out my sensitive skin, either.

Worked extremely well for me
-03.01.12
I have very sensitive skin so it's been hard for me to find a product that didn't irritate it. I've tried at least over a dozen spot treatments and this one has been the best by far. Whenever I sees pimple starting to form I just put some on before bed and it prevents it from getting any worse. The next morning I notice the redness and size have gone down. It's really helped clear up my face.

I usually don't buy on-the-spot treatments because they tend to make them inflamed and the next day, it looks even worse. However, this is a mild treatment, BUT effective! I dabbed a little on this pimple, and the next day it has gotten smaller!

Gentle spot treatment
-01.11.12
Quick Take: gentle formula
I tried this out and it's pretty gentle compared to something with benzoyl peroxide. This spot treatment absorbs quickly, and eliminated about 75% of the acne I treated within 2-3 days (some faster than others, some longer).
It's not perfect and doesn't work as quickly on some pimples I wished it did, but it's good and not abrasive. I would recommend it (or getting a sample from Sephora like I did before buying it).

Quick Take: gentle formula
Finally getting relief for my sporadic breakouts. This has really calmed my skin along with FAB facial cleanser. I initally used 2x/day, but I only have to use once in the morning and breakouts are few and far between. Love it, just bought my second tube!

I have tried a few different acne spot treatments, one of which was a prescription, and they all worked ok. The I tried this one from Bliss and in just a few days, I could see an improvement in my skin. I use it morning and night, and continue to see improvements. I LOVE this product!

I've struggled with acne since my teenage years. I'm now in my early 30's and I suppose I have made it to adult acne. This stuff is amazing. It doesn't bother my sensitive skin or dry me out, but it just gets rid of those annoying pimples.
