Really, really works
This zapped my zit in two days but as your sin ages, mine, at least, was more sensitive to the active ingredient. My advice is start slow with application frequency.

Before moisturizing, apply as a spot treatment directly to the breakout, and allow to dry. Apply every 6-8 hours as needed until breakout clears.
It's called "emergency" spot fix for a reason. Slip this in your pocket or backpack to tackle pimples right when they occur.

Only when you read Dermologica's reply to another reviewer who experienced problems is it flagged up that this contains benzoyl peroxide (an industrial chemical). I normally only use the Ultracalm series which I love. I had a very bad reaction to this product and I think it should say clearly on the packaging that Breakout Control is a better option for the odd spot. This messed up my skin for over a week.

I use this on all my pimples that haven't come above the surface yet. I will say it takes 2-3 to go away completely.

OMG I had flawless skin for over 40 years and recently I have a few breakouts and bought this spot fixer. My spots turned out bigger and redder and got worse each day. It burnt me and my husband was horrified as he has never seen my face so bad in over 20 years of our marriage. I have stopped using this yesterday and applied Rosehip oil and hydrating serums to help with the burnt and dryness after using this spot treatment.

I bought this product for my 12 1/2 year old son who has mild acne on his face. He uses this product as needed for any acne spots that come out. so far it is working well for him.

I suffer bad spots with my PCOS and this is the only product that has helped minimise them and make them a lot less noticeable. I'm so glad I was recommended this product. Also have ordered the breakout travel set which im looking forward to trying too. Also a fantastic delivery service. Thank you

Most are made with peroxide which, is really good for the face especially for breakouts and also salicylic acid (it doesn't harm your face and it only get rids of the breakouts!!) :)
