Most Helpful Criticism

Just Okay

Vanessa

I've been using this product for a few weeks now on individual pimples and i wouldn't rave about it. I don't think it has made the healing time any quicker that...
  1. Probably not a repurchase

    Ari

    This leaves an obvious gel mark around blemish. It stung a little, but the mark makes it look more obvious around the pimple.
  2. Just Wow

    Cat

    This is amazing! Always skeptical, but this is just WOW. Those horrible ance breakouts are helped by just this in 2 nights. I cant use it for more than that in a row as it does dry the skin out. For the more persistent ones i might use it for 3 nights, but ill take some dry flakey skin over acne any day of the week
  3. Best spot treatment I have used

    Michelle

    This is a must have. Works amazing for spot treatment but is not too harsh or drying. I use it, my husband and pre teen use it & it works just as well on all our different skin. And it lasts forever too.
  4. Wonders

    Marianna

    Does wonders for the skin less blemishes
  5. A must have!

    El

    I was amazed at how well this works. It reduces blemishes overnight! Smells lovely as well. Nothing compares.
  6. Incredible

    Georgie

    I just started using this and cannot believe how quickly it clear up pimples. I put some on individual spots overnight and they are basically gone by morning! Smells lovely too.
  7. Good spot treatment

    RM

    I think this is a fairly effective spot treatment. I really like the combination of ingredients because the salicylic acid and tea tree work on the active blemish and the Niacinamide works in a sort of preventative way. The product is also not overly drying like some other blemish treatments can be.
  8. Acne improved

    Ash

    Goes a long way, only use 3-4 drops. Dries quickly and slightly tacky. Which I like for under my makeup.
  9. okay but expensive for its effect

    Jenny

    I bought this on half price and would not pay more than that for this product. for me i found that it works but very very slowly so i can't tell if its the product working or my skin healing itself. Doesn't really help with sore pimples that are under the skin except a slight cooling tension sensation at first application. I have nearly finished this tube and don't think i will be repurchasing
  10. Effective with continuous use

    Amy

    I found this effective as a spot treatment when used on visible pimples before bed for several days in a row. I like how the product is a gel and not too runny, unlike other spot treatments I have tried.
  11. Okay

    Ally

    I found this product has been wonderful at controlling pimples that are just under the skin in early stages of development. However, once a blemish became red and swollen this product didn't do much. This is my first time using a spot-treatment, so I'm not sure how it compares to others on the market.
  12. Not very effective

    Marie

    I don't find this product to be effective. The Alpha-H Liquid Gold works a treat for me on pimples that are coming up or already there, so I got this thinking it would be even better (and cheaper). But I haven't found it does anything really.... Three stars is probably generous. I'm sticking with the Liquid Gold for any acne in the future.
  13. sample

    sha

    I've used a sample of this for a few weeks and I don't think this does a whole lot for my skin. It doesn't seem to accelerate my pimple healing time
  14. Highly Recommend

    Mary

    It is a clear gel that is absorbed into the skin almost immediately and does not leave your skin feeling dry or sticky. Much much better than other AHA or BHA based blemish control products.
  15. Highly Recommend

    Rose

    This one really works, to some extent it is better than many other acne treatment. It works effectively with red swelled acne. Highly recommend as it also has a decent price.
  16. Good

    Jane

    love it . skin was super smooth and glowing
  17. Perfect Little Helper

    GemSte

    I bought this on a whim, wanting something to help control some angry break outs. It works well and quickly to take the edge of a pimple, reducing it from the angry painful level very quickly. I’ve also had success on stubborn blind pimples, going away after only a few nights of use. It’s a great help with the random pimple or more stubborn consistent breakouts.
  18. Does the job!

    Tali

    Great gentle spot treatment - really good for calming down angry, blind pimples before they come to a head.
  19. Didn’t work for me

    Kat

    Unfortunately this didn’t work for my pimples. On the plus side it smells lovely and is cruelty free.
  20. Great for blemishes

    Kath

    This is a really great spot treatment. I like how it is clear so I can use it throughout the day time and it isn’t noticeable. It also smells fresh.
  21. decent

    anna

    Doesn't seem very effective at healing spots but it's decent for a gentle treatment.
  22. Nice!

    Nardia

    This works great on small blemishes if used immediately as they first appear...but I haven’t noticed a difference when using on larger/longer lasting spots. Sinks in well and we’ll priced!
  23. Liquid (Skincare) Gold

    Lauren

    Love it, love it. The gel is clear, so it doesn't leave a white cast. It's highly spreadable yet non-irritating, meaning that you can apply it liberally without aggravating your skin. It also dries quickly, which is a plus. I tried this as an alternative to Benzac creams (which can be harsh + stain fabrics). Really liking this so far: super gentle, yet effective (contains niacinamide and salicylic...

  24. Great spot treatment!

    Beth

    I have tried plenty of spot treatments and this is the best! It clears my spots up and reduces redness. It also does not leave that weird film over spots that others do. And I have been using it a lot for ages and it never seems to end!
  25. Game changer

    Withheld Withheld

    I’ve been trying endless products to handle my mask acne during the last few months, and this gave me immediate results! Cleared up spots in a couple of days, and I can even see it beginning to reduce my acne scars. I couldn’t recommend it enough!!
  26. Great zit zapper

    Ella

    I only use this on breakouts at night but I love it. I have very rarely had to use it two nights in a row.

    It smells like tea tree but I quite like it. I've used a few products like this before, but this is def my fave.
  27. ok product

    Nat

    I bought this in a panic when I started getting spots more frequently. I apply it at night and in the morning the spot looks calmer but I'm not sure how much of a difference this product makes for the nasty spots
  28. Great spot treatment - such a lifesaver!

    Olivia

    I needed something to tamp down those surprise pimples. Doesn't make them vanish immediately, but if I apply some the night before I notice that they're less red the next day and are usually gone by the 2nd or 3rd day.
  29. Gentle and effective

    JV

    Works so well overnight. Gently and doesn't sting when applied (like other pimple spot treatments).
    I find the gel doesn't mix well under makeup so i tend to only use overnight.
  30. A God-send

    Georgia

    I've spent thousands of dollars on skin care in the past year, ever since my skin started developing hormonal breakouts/whiteheads on my chin. I have gone through about 10 different spot treatments and haven't really found one that works, and this DOES. I bought it on a whim to get free shipping, and I am so happy I did. I've been applying it all over my concern areas (for about 2-3 months) and i...

  31. Works!!

    Mel

    Gets absorbed easily and works overnight. My masknes and blemishes have improved drastically since i incorporated this product into my skincare routine
  32. did nothing

    Bree

    I was hoping to love this product as others did, but I found the gel did nothing for my blemishes. However, product was not drying and had a nice texture. (I have combo skin)
  33. Good for blemishes but dry skin

    Xi

    I bought it for occasional blemishes. It cools down the skin and it actually works on my skin. Next morning after applying on this gel, this blemishes are settled down well. The only thing for the gel is that it dries skin if I use it for couple days, and my skin will be peeling.
  34. I love it!

    S

    I was breaking out particularly bad on my forehead and after using this as spot treatment, the spots were less red and less raised the next day. The smell is pleasant and not overpowering. For the price, it is definitely worth it.
  35. Good buy

    Tara

    I’m not sure this is a complete cure. But it has good active products for breakouts at a good price. Has a smell that tells me it’s working
  36. Does the job

    Rose

    Purchased this in a panic a little while back but don’t regret it. It’s not overly drying and feels like it gets the job done. Not super effective on those nasty spots right away but definitely worth trying!
  37. Great

    Kezza

    I bought this because I have the occasional blemish.
    I had a couple on my forehead and applied a thin layer, then when I got up in the morning the blemishes had completely settled down.
    Very impressed.
  38. Great for Maskne!

    Kwinny

    I bought this in a panic to try and get rid of a number of pesky blemishes that have appeared due to wearing a face mask all the time. This treatment has definitely reduced the duration and severity of my pimples. It does not eradicate them completely overnight, but has definitely stopped any angry looking pimples from getting really bad.
  39. gentle

    Sam

    I'm squeezing out the last drops of this, but I don't know if I'll repurchase it. I don't use spot treatments often because I find they're way too drying—this definitely is NOT overdrying and you can smear it all over without having to worry about it being too harsh. I also like that you can put it on over makeup, as it's clear and dries clear with no residue. I'm not sure if it's super effective,...

  40. Great pimple gel

    Kezza

    I’m 60 and still get the odd pimple, eeeek....
    This gel was recommended to me and it certainly does what it’s supposed to do, it works.!.!.!.!.
    Very happy with the product.
  41. Love it

    lisa

    this product really works. First sign of a pimple and I put it on and it either makes it go down or reduces the recovery time. Highly recommend.
  42. love it

    Jana

    Another Alpha-H product I absolutely love. Good size product and price, considering you only use it on pimples and spots. I like to use blemish control gels-sticks because it helps with not squeezing or touching the spots. Definitely works on my skin, it dries the spots and helps with scarring.
  43. Good but subjective (as usual)

    M

    So, it really depends on how bad your spots are, as to whether this will work for you... It's more for the odd blemish than full blown acne or anything in between. The Ordinary's zinc + ninamicide has worked better for me personally, but that's a whole other thing tbh. I do think it's a worthwhile product that's guaranteed not to exacerbate the situation (natural, non-harsh ingredients) at the ver...

  44. good spot treatment

    loveandadore

    takes its time to work but perhaps it's more gentle than other products? nonetheless, great for breakouts and if you're patient then it does help heal them.
  45. great spot treatment

    leigh

    this is a great spot treatment, I think it really helps and I love that you can put it on under make up
  46. Great acne control!

    Megan

    I have very sensitive, but acne prone skin. Any blemish spot on gels I’ve tried before sting when used and made my skin peel. But not this one!!

    It has a slightly strong smell at first but it’s really not that bad. And I find it works wonders! I put a spot on a pimple and it’s gone or very close to by the next morning.

    Love it!
  47. it works and it sometimes it does not

    Mani

    i used it for a couple of weeks to clear out my pimple but what i notices was that it just clears out the pimples with white puss and it does not do anything for the red ones. if i put it on my white coloured pimples at night by morning this treatment would've squeezed all the puss out of it. but on the red pimples it just doesn't work. it is a good but slow product
  48. Works

    Fazzulu

    Bought this and the clear skin cleanser and moisture gel for my 17 year old brother as he has some acne and it has cleared his skin up beautifully.
    Couldn’t believe what a noticeable change it made - 110% recommend!
  49. Great Product

    Kat

    I was a little unsure when purchasing this product. After trying it out I found that it was really great at attacking those first signs of a pimple/ blemish. great product
  50. Fantastic!

    Maya

    This is so great and really works! Put it on a spot and by morning it had vanished!
  51. it does work

    perfecting skin

    i put it on my pimple one night and by morning the pimple was gone. however, i did had a pimple on my cheek that took weeks to clear out even when using this every night. but overall i think this works and helps to minimize the pimple size overall.
  52. Clears my skin so quickly

    GCGirl

    One of the best pimple creams I've found. Yep, still getting pimples in my mid 40s but this one clears them up so quickly.
  53. So much relief!

    Phoebe

    It helped remove the tightness and redness of blemishes with almost instant results. Great value for money! I highly recommend. I just wish a larger size tube was available.
  54. Very effective for me

    AimeeS

    This blemish control gel has been very effective for clearly small pimples, and even though it does contain alcohol, it is not overly drying in my opinion. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and happy with the results so far.

    I love the slight tea tree scent and the clear formula which hides well under the make up. It does dry a bit tacky, and at first I wasn’t sure whether it was a...

  56. Cool as ice

    Sarah

    Love the cooling sensation on application. I use on acrive blemishes and a small amount on trouble spots as a preventative. I've noticed a decrease in length of breakouts and redness. Would like to see higher active ingredients but for the price point this is a good product.
  57. Reliable and affordable

    Smaddi

    This is probably the only spot treatment that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune. Very noticeable differences as soon as overnight which I love.
  58. Good on blemishes and affordably priced

    Mez

    It is good, it works on blemishes, not too harsh to put on your whole face, clear gel texture that goes well under makeup and dries quickly. Not good for blackheads, but very good for blemishes!
  59. It is very helpful

    Bailey

    It doesn't clear my pimples up magically over night but it does help to reduce redness and speed up the healing process
  60. Excellent product

    Wen

    Bought this for my daughter to counteract those pesky breakouts, she loves it ! Just a small dab in the evening and wake up with spots almost completely gone. Highly recommend!
  61. Great spot calmer

    Hayley

    A great product for angry spots! I have trouble hormonal skin and this product really helps to reduce the size of any pimple. I use on all trouble areas not just spots! Does not dry out like other clearance gels.
  62. Spot zapper!

    Mon

    This is so impressive as a spot treatment! It works quickly and is gentle. I apply this when I can feel a spot coming and it usually stops it from appearing at all! Amazing value for money!
  63. Love this

    Danielle

    I have very dry and sensitive skin but still get the odd breakout here and there. I use this and love it. I feel like it clears up the area pretty quickly and does not irritate my skin.
    I only get a few pimples here and there and not that regularly so I am not sure how this is for someone who has acne prone skin.
  64. Best spot treatment!

    Bmac

    This is probably the only spot treatment that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune for me. Very noticeable difference overnight!
  65. Love it

    Jacinta

    This is a great blemish gel. It clears up spots relatively quickly. I love that it's clear so I can put it on under makeup at the start of the day. It also dries quick so it won't get all over my pillow when I put it on at night. Smells great too. Definitely will buy again.
  66. Great

    Laura

    I really like this product, a little goes a long way and it really reduces my cystic spots.
  67. Cleared my skin

    George

    Highly recommend best blemish formula I’ve used doesn’t irritate, clear so can be worn throughout the day
  68. Great spot treatment

    LoveandAdore

    This product is so good to use on active pimples that have come to the surface. Although results are not immediate, using this consistently I notice a difference and by 5-7 days later the spot is reduced. I like that it’s a bit more gentle considering it’s salicylic acid just don’t use this everyday.
  69. Way too drying

    Charlotta

    This is such an old fashioned method of dealing with spots, it completely dries out the area and you are left with a big dark spot. I much prefer a pimple patch anyday. Maybe would work on some with oily skin, but you do not want to apply this to your tzone as a preventative.
  70. Amazing

    jessica

    This is a very affordable spot cream and it lasts me ages. It helps my pimple go down quicker
  71. My go to

    Monique

    It is definitely the best spot treatment I've found over the years without all the harsh and abrasive chemicals. I found this worked better for me than the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion which I tried for over a year and could never seem to get results, this treatment clears blemishes much quicker!
  72. Great

    Cait

    I really like this spot treatment. I have used it for a few months, a little goes a long way. Helps to minimise cystic spots if applied daily
  73. Slow results

    Chloeb

    I like this product and the ingredients but find it takes time to see results on individual spots/blemishes. Improvement is seen but just takes longer than I would have liked. Still good value for money.
  74. A Must Have!

    aqxa

    This is probably the only spot treatment that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune for me. Very noticeable differences in just 24-48 hours which I love :)
  75. Great!

    Darren

    Nice product, not drying at all, heavily fragrant but with natural oils for me it smells nice. Anti bacterial goodness
  76. Great!

    Aline

    After 2 months my skin is less clogged and acne breakouts are more manageable. The gel rapidly absorbs into my skin and I have no issues wearing it under SPF or makeup during the day or at night.
  77. amazing

    bridget

    this product is amazing highly recommended it, i'm 14 and suffered from bad acne this really helped to clear it up i have very sensitive skin and dry but this product worked like a gem. although it did have a smell to it it went away pretty quickly.
  78. Works really well

    Mia

    This stuff is really good! I apply it on my spots and they disappear so quick, usually gone in 2 days where normally it could take up to a week. Stings a little

    Tina

    This gel really helped me clear up some red patches on my cheeks.
  80. so, so

    JadeyB

    I was really hoping this would be amazing. So far it has not been anything extraordinary. I find this spot treatment to be really tacky and makes my makeup sit really weird over it. I also use a setting spray and this is still making my makeup slide off. So i am only using this at night time when i have nothing on my face. makes it a bit hard to do the morning and night routine because i cant wear...

  81. It's Okay

    Kelsey

    This gel is good for reducing redness, however, I wouldn't rave about it or recommend since there are a lot of gels that work better.
  82. Didn’t help

    Anne

    This didn’t help with my pimples at all with me. I think when I use Liquid Gold it tends to help my pimples a lot better.
  83. Great results

    Emily

    Helps dry out my spots quick and helps heal them in just a couple of days.
  84. Bye bye spots

    S

    I love this stuff! If I feel like if I ever have a spot starting, I pop this gel on before bed and it has disappeared by morning.
  85. It was okay

    Kt

    I found myself buying this as it was the cheapest spot treatment from a brand I hadn’t heard anything negative about. I don’t think it prevents anything, or shortens the time of the pimple but it does soothe and calm down the redness. I’m on my second tube BUT still looking for a better one.
  86. Blemish control gel

    Brooke

    This product does help with reducing the size of pimples but it will not make them magically disappear! I use it at the first signs of a pimple and they go away a lot quicker then what they would if you didn’t apply anything and I would recommend this product to help reduce pimple size and reduce the time of the pimple staying

  88. Just Okay

    Vanessa

    I've been using this product for a few weeks now on individual pimples and i wouldn't rave about it. I don't think it has made the healing time any quicker that it would of been without using the product. I find vitamin b/niacinamide has been a lot more helpful with problem areas and pimples. Wouldn't purchase this product again or recommend it, I don't think it does much if anything.
  89. Clears my skin up

    Laurel

    I use this as a spot treatment. It really helps me clear up blemishes.
  90. Quite nice

    Lisa

    This product only works on small acne not the big one. I always use it on my small acne. Works well.
  91. Reduces breakouts overnight.

    Emily

    I constantly struggle with breakouts and I like to apply this product on any pimples before bed. When waking up, I can already see a huge improvement in my skin and it really reduces the redness too.
  92. Reduces redness

    Jenna

    Does help slightly but isn’t a rapid miracle worker
  93. Spots be gone...Kinda

    Kiikers86

    This is my first spot on treatment. It's ok. Doesn't get rid of my pimples though. After a week or so the pimples go down when normally they stay red. So it does work but it takes some time to get them gone. I won't repurchase and I will try a different brand. If you have little spots this would work really well. But for the bigger pimples you will need something stronger.
  94. Blemish control

    Ris

    I was hoping this product would assist with my blemishes. And it does. I use morning and night after I cleanse and tone. It works a treat! I use with other Alpha H products and my skin is looking very fresh.
  95. Non-irritating and effective

    May

    My skin gets the occasional hormonal breakout and I use this religiously whenever a pimple starts to form; it calms the spot and gently pushes the gunk to the surface or sometimes completely “dissolves” it. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or feel too harsh like some other acne products I’ve tried, will repurchase.
  96. Great

    Sarah

    I apply this when I get a new pimple and after 8 hours, my pimple looks smaller.
  97. It works!

    lmv496

    This works plain and simple. Honestly the only spot treatment I've found does exactly what it said it does
  98. PRETTY GOOD!

    Sam

    Nice smell! reduces redness
  99. Not Convinced

    Ash

    I don't have oily or super blemished skin, however when I do break out, I find the Liquid Gold to be a lot more effective in fixing my skin than this gel. This might be amazing to those with more oily skin, however this wasn't for me.
  100. Works every time

    C T

    I love this product! When ever I have a spot come up, I dab on a bit of this and its gone the next day without drying out my skin! I don't have acne prone skin, nor do I get blemishes very often, so I think thats probably important to note - so if your skin sounds like mine, then I highly recommend!
