Proactiv Redness Correcting Treatment, Acne Spot Treatment with 1.5% Salicylic Acid, Calms Irritated Skin, Non-Comedogenic, 0.33 oz

I am not sure how to test this in a properly scientific method, but I have been using a tiny dab of this at night on both emerging and healing spots. I *think* it helps them go away faster, but I fully admit it could just be placebo effect.I can at least confidently say that it doesn't cause any negative effects for me...no irritation, peeling, sensitivity, etc.

This is advertised as redness correcting serum but it's way too thin to cover up any red spots. However, it does help to dry out spots once they pop. The serum didn't burn and absorbed quickly, allowing me to follow with my usual sunscreen and makeup application. I noticed faster spot healing while using this product, but there are better options from Proactiv.

I love this brand, I’ve used it for over a decade. But this particular product is unfortunately not it. Its not as effective as the original spot on corrector.Its great to relieve redness but that’s about what it all can do. I almost finished my first bottle and it barely made any difference.

I really like this Proactiv product. It has salicylic acid and a light green tint that helps cover and fade my blemishes.

Nothing like the original.Does nothing or me. The original worked very well for me. So sad they no longer have the emergency blemish relief. One of their best products honestly

The product seems okay, although I ordered it by mistake. It does come out of the tube really fast, though.So just be careful with that.

Seemed to work well against a couple of acne red spots on my face. It's odorless but note that it doesn't go on clear - it's a whiteish color and dries the same color. Best to use at home where you can leave it on for a little bit of time before needing to wipe it off. When it's dried it has the consistency of a face mask

I've used a lot of proactive products and on the whole been very pleased with them, but this one just did not impress me. It's a tiny, tiiiiiny tube for the price and just doesn't seem to do much. The cream has a blue-gray cast, perfect for countering redish patches, but it absorbs almost instantly when I apply it so there is essentially no color-correcting effect. Likewise it seems to do little with use over time at improving the look of reddish patches? I just don't know. As with most proactive products it has been gentle on my skin and I haven't had any irritation issues or breakouts in the area of use, which is great, but it really doesn't seem to add much benefit to my daily routine. Perhaps others will have better results from this. I do have significant long-term reddening from old acne scars from when I was a teen and maybe the damage is just too extensive for me to benefit from this.
