TreeActiv Salicylic Acid Cystic Acne Spot Treatment, 0.5 fl oz, for Face and Body, Cream for Hormonal Acne, Teens & Adults

I was looking something for my occasional breakouts, and this spot cream has been really helpful. It's easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and doesn't feel harsh on the skin. I use a small amount on the affected area before bed, and by morning, the appearance is visibly calmer. For more stubborn spots, I apply it twice a day, and it helps improve the overall look of my skin without drying it out. The formula feels gentle yet effective, making it a great addition to my skincare routine. Definitely something I'll keep on hand.

This is long but trust me and read it.. or don’t, but don’t buy this.I’ve been using this product for at a minimum 4 years.. My amazon prompt when I click it: You’ve bought this product 84 times. I have told friends, family, my dermatologist, anyone who would listen how amazing it was (past tense)- sure it didnt get rid of my pimples immediately but it greatly reduced swelling, redness, and pain. For cysts, it helped with the above and helped it come to a head.Last summer, I ordered several jars, nothing unusual for me. They arrived, but the first one I opened was watery, separated and just not what it had ever been before. I opened the next (2)- also watery, separated and different. I gave it a shot, which was a waste of hope and money, it crumbled when trying to put it on and didn’t maintain any consistency.I contacted the company who said they changed the formula. I shared my feedback and they said they were working on some tweaks. In the fall, for a short while, old faithful was back, and amazing, but that was short lived.In November, I ordered a jar.. watery, separated and when I touched the “mask” it broke into large groups. It was a paste, or a mask.. it was like feta cheese (weird but accurate comparison.) I couldn’t return it, so I tried again. The same thing, but now to add to the issues, it has a weird oily layer.Most recently I ordered another jar— determined to get the original stuff back and this has by far been the worst. Im so sad but I have to just give up on this, especially for the cost.I’m convinced they are changing the formula daily. I had a tiny bit of my last one left, which still was not good, and when put on next to the one that just arrived the color isn’t even the same. Also— Normally there is a hint of tea tree you smell, nothing. Just wasted money.Long and short.. this stuff was the best, worth every penny. NOW: it is an overpriced, waste of money and hope. Look elsewhere!!!

This cream has become my go-to for sudden breakouts. I dab a tiny amount on a spot before bed, and by morning, it's noticeably smaller. It's not overly drying, which I appreciate, and it works without that strong smell some creams have. Good for my "emergency" moments!

This stuff WAS amazing!! I struggled with cystic acne all through my adult years and this was the first product to change the pain, pressure, and redness of a cyst over night. I would apply by finger and be able to just smear it directly on. It would slowly dry and remain intact on my face all night. I could easily wash it off or gently scratch off the crust formed from the dry clay.I recently ordered two more jars, & they have been horrible! I am so sad. Upon first impression of this third and forth jar, the container is different and the constancy is like a whipped light play sand, where it used to be a darker, smooth, creamy texture. The product now rolls into odd chunks that do not adhere to my skin, rather than smearing on like a clay paint, as it previously did. You can no longer thinly smooth it on. The paste dries and flakes off with in the first twenty minutes. I will smear on as thin as possible and the product is completely gone by morning. After applying I get half, if any, of the effects that I used to.

The pack fits easily in my bag, so I can apply it whenever I feel a breakout starting, even when I'm not at home. It's mess-free and dries quickly, which is a big plus for my busy schedule.

This container is tiny; it's much smaller than it appears in the photo. It only lasted for about 10-15 small applications, and the little bit left at the bottom dried up before I was able to use it. Will not buy again.

Doesn’t last long, as soon as you open it and expose it to air, say goodbye to the product. First use is fine, after that good luck. For the price, not worth itAnd if you TRY to use it again and again then it’ll just fall off your face, doesn’t stick because no moisture to it

This is a good product overall, but keep the lid on because it will dry out quickly. In a pinch, add a dab of water to lubricate the paste if it does dry out. It is not moisturizing, but that's not its purpose anyway, so that rating is not applicable for this product.
