On-the-Spot Acne Treatment
On-the-Spot Acne Treatment
Neutrogena’s On the Spot Treatment is a spot acne treatment that aims to reduce acne and provide moisture to the skin. The primary acne-fighting ingredient in On the Spot Acne Treatment is Benzoyl Peroxide. This chemical enables the skin to breathe easier and reduces bacteria and toxin buildup, and has proven to be an effective acne fighting ingredient.
However, Benzoyl Peroxide also comes with a host of possible side effects ranging from dryness to irritation to flaky skin. Furthermore this ingredient is known to cause dependence in users, and stopping the treatment often causes the bacteria, and the acne caused by it, to return quickly with greater strength.
Moreover, Benzoyl Peroxide should not be used as a spot treatment for acne. Extended use of Benzoyl Peroxide products can cause discoloration, redness, itchiness and flaky skin. Continued effects of this chemical are currently being studied, and there is ongoing debate about its use in skin care products.
For these reasons, we do not recommend Neutrogena’s On the Spot treatment.
