Overview

Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment is an acne treatment cream you apply to active acne breakouts. It contains a maximum strength acne-fighting ingredient to kill bacteria and clear blemishes.

Function

Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment contains 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria and shrink swelling without causing excessive dryness. This helps clear acne breakouts and stop new pimples from forming.

Key Ingredients

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the first ingredients found to be effective at clearing acne and continues to be used in many acne treatment products. It kills bacteria and removes dead skin cells to clear existing acne and prevent new breakouts from forming.

Application

Apply On the Spot Acne Treatment to acne blemishes one to three times daily. To prevent irritation, start with one application per day, and increase if necessary.

Considerations

Benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair and fabric, so use old sheets and towels when using a product containing this ingredient. It also causes overdrying, which can be remedied by reducing application frequency.
