About Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment
Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment is a fast-acting acne spot treatment that helps clear breakouts without over-drying your skin. Unlike other spot treatments that can contain high doses of benzoyl peroxide, this formula uses just 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, a level that's clinically proven to be effective yet gentle. It starts clearing skin on day 1, reducing the size and redness of pimples while helping to prevent new ones from forming.

Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment FAQs
How do I use Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment?
Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. If you experience dryness or peeling, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
Who should use Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment?
This spot treatment is ideal for those with mild to moderate acne who are looking for an effective solution that won't over-dry their skin. It's suitable for those with sensitive skin who may find higher concentrations of benzoyl peroxide irritating.
Why is a lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide sometimes preferred?
While higher concentrations of benzoyl peroxide can be effective, they can also cause dryness, redness, and irritation, potentially making acne worse. Neutrogena On-the-Spot® Acne Treatment uses a lower concentration (2.5%) that is still clinically proven to be effective but gentler on the skin.
