A spot treatment gel that helps clear blemishes and reduce post-acne marks.

Description

NeoStrata® Targeted Clarifying Gel is a rapid-action spot treatment that exfoliates the buildup of dead skin cells and helps keep pores clear of impurities. Suitable for oily, acne-prone skin.

Key ingredients include a concentrated formula of Retinyl Acetate together with blemish-fighting Salicylic Acid, combined to control excess oil and target troubled areas. A patented NeoHydroxy™ Complex containing the Alpha-Hydroxy Acids – Mandelic Acid, Tartaric Acid, and Citric Acid has beneficial antioxidant properties and promotes normal cell turnover to help uncover a smooth, healthy-looking complexion while helping to minimise the inflammation that occurs with acne lesions. Fragrance-Free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: NeoStrata® Targeted Clarifying Gel is a Dermatologist-developed targeted spot treatment that helps to speed up the healing process of unwelcome acne spots and blemishes. It is an ideal treatment for occasional breakouts, especially when using the treatment just before the acne lesion forms a head. It will also help with reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Do not apply all over your face – it is spot treatment only. Not to be used in pregnancy or during lactation.

Summary

How to Use
  • Apply the spot treatment gel directly onto the acne spots using a clean fingertip or a cottonwool bud.

    This works very well at clearing breakouts and slowing down their re-appearance in the same areas. It is quite an active ingredient, so I did experience some redness where I applied it; however, I didn’t have to apply it for an extended period because it cleared up my breakout quickly. I am happy with this product, and it does it’s job well.

    I read so many great reviews on this product but sadly it seems to make very little difference for me. I have extremely sensitive skin so perhaps it was too harsh.

    I have used a few spot treatments and they take forever. But this spot gel has worked wonders for me. It helped with very stubborn acne scarring. I will def restock. Its a small tube but a little goes a long way. Love this product

    Great spot treatment gel for stubborn pimples. I like using it because I can target spots without drying out my skin. I’ve seen a big difference in my spots around my chin since using it for a month now.

    The best spot treatment I’ve ever used!

    I’ve had a few outbreaks, especially on my forehead and lower jaw, and this product cleared it up so fast! Literally the next day the pimple was hardly even noticable and you only have to use such a small amount.

    This is definitely going to be a permanent addition to my skincare products to help me out with the occasional pimple (a life saver when you need to clear up your skin for an event)

    10/10 highly recommend!

    I’m not usually one that writes product reviews, but I was blown away by how incredible this product is. I suffered with small little bump like pimples on my forehead and after using this product, just 3 times I might at, they completely cleared up. I really couldn’t believe how amazing this product it.
