Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 28 g

Targeted treatment beyond your cleanser

This benzoyl peroxide formula treats acne after the cleansing step, remaining on the affected skin rather than being washed away. Its acne-treatment active reduces the bacteria involved in breakouts and helps improve spots and blocked pores. A thin application provides a focused treatment step within a simple acne-care routine.

A leave-on gel for acne-affected areas

Rapid Clear is a targeted treatment step rather than a cleanser or moisturiser. Choose it when you want a gel that remains on the skin after cleansing. It is a high-strength benzoyl peroxide formula, so tolerance matters more than applying a large amount or using it frequently from the start.

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.
