Product details
A less visible treatment layer
Neutrogena On-the-Spot uses 2.5% benzoyl peroxide in a vanishing cream designed to blend into the skin. It treats acne after cleansing while keeping the applied layer less noticeable than a thick ointment. The stated strength and lightweight finish distinguish it from higher-strength gels and rinse-off acne cleansers.
A lower-strength leave-on option
On-the-Spot offers a vanishing cream texture for treating acne-affected skin without choosing a 10% formula. The lower concentration does not mean it is irritation-free, so introduce it carefully and avoid layering several acne treatments at once.
How to use
Cleanse the skin first, then apply a thin layer over the acne-affected area. Start once daily. Increase to two or three applications only if needed and tolerated. If dryness or peeling becomes troublesome, reduce to once daily or every other day. This is a leave-on treatment, not a face wash.
Important precautions
For external use only. Do not use on very sensitive skin or if you are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. Avoid eyes, lips and mouth, and contact with hair or coloured fabrics, which may bleach. Using other acne medicines at the same time increases the risk of dryness and irritation; if irritation occurs, use only one at a time. Stop if irritation becomes severe. Use sunscreen and avoid unnecessary sun exposure. If sunscreen and this treatment together cause irritation or sensitivity, stop both. Keep away from children.
Store at 20–25°C.
