On-the-Spot® Acne Treatment

Some acne spot treatments contain high doses of the acne medication Benzoyl Peroxide, which can irritate skin. It can also cause redness and dryness, which can make acne worse. Our formula contains just 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, yet is clinically proven to be so effective that skin starts getting clearer on day 1 – all without over-drying, stinging or burning skin.

This fast acting acne spot treatment is so lightweight that it quickly absorbs into skin. And it goes deep down to the pores to kill acne bacteria that cause pimples and helps to prevent new ones from forming.

  • Oil-free

  • Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)

  • 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
