Effective, but drying
I haven't used this much yet, but it seems to control acne as expected. However, I notice that it dries out my skin so much that I peel. Some people might like the drying effect.

Great!
Works for my 18 year old son and 15 year old daughter. My son was using rodan and fields and I wanted to switch him to something safer and Pca is the right choice.

Very effective
As a woman with aging skin that periodically gets a break out, this gel in a bottle is perfection. I prefer skin care not to have an odor to it and this is odorless in my opinion which I like and also it does an amazing job if a blemish appears to very quickly get rid of it in a day or two. It is a bit drying, but that's the point isn't it!? it goes on nice and light and soaks into the skin quickly. I will purchase this again.

Great spot treatment for cystic acne
I bought this for my cystic acne, and it works exceptionally well. Typically, I apply it twice a day for about two days; by then, the pimple is gone. Most of the time, it takes a week or so for my cystic acne to clear after a breakout. I have oily skin, and this did dry it out a bit, but the results are worth it!

Clear skin begins with PCA Acne Treatment Gel
This was a very good choice for those that didn’t want something that would be super irritating. Now keep in mind anything with salicylic acid and other acne fighting products do have a bit of a sting sometimes: this is only for those with super sensitive skin. I had some redness but expected that as I needed to clean out some weir breakouts! The great thing however is salicylic doesn’t dry the oil glands up the way other acne products due. This calms the skin from further blemishes and prevents over production of oil, black heads and white heads. There was a bit of peeling which means that my skin needed to get rid of dead cells that were clogged causing breakouts! If it gets to drying I used the PCA post peel moisturizer as it’s super gentle. Cheers to happier clearer skin!

Really works!
I’ve used numerous salicylic acid serums/gels and while they have been slightly beneficial over time, none have worked immediately. I don’t know what other ingredients in this make it so effective, but this works overnight. Any time I have a few pimples popping up (I get a mix of pustules and super tender hormonal cysts that don’t respond to most treatments) I use this on my entire face and the pimples are greatly reduced the next morning. Amazing product! It does not make my face feel tight and I actually need less moisturizer on top of this when I use it, so it has some moisturizers in it.

Cystic Acne and White Head Miracle
I’ve always known that mandalic and BHA work great for me but something in this formula make it work so quickly and with out irritation. It gives my skin a great glow and helps firm as well.

Good Stuff
Works great but leaves a brown film on skin, so it’s best to use it at night. Not too drying, too.

Better than what I was using!
I have been using the PCA Acne Cream for several years and found it to be of help with breakouts UNTIL I tried the PCA Acne Gel. The gel seems to work much quicker and how can a person not appreciate that! It clears and prevents breakouts. The ingredients help reduce excess oil production and the appearance of unwanted discoloration. I recommend to anyone experiencing breakouts or has oily skin.

Spot treat or full face
I can use this as a spot treatment on my face neck or back or most days I use it all over my face after my toner and it helps prevent breakouts and black/white heads.

Light feel, dry skin out
I wanted to love this product based on the reviews. I do like the lightness feeling on my skin, however has been very drying. I have combination skin, mid-30s, with a handful of acne monthly. I will continue to give it a chance, but not overly impressed.

Perfect for my skin!
It’s so light weight and does not dry my skin! I use it all over to really just keep my skin clear and smooth. It works wonders!

The best spot treatment I’ve ever tried!
Clears up skin very well. Can be drying for the skin, but overall very worth the purchase!

PCA acne
This product does dry up my acne and helps reduce clogged pores. I can only use it once a day, because it does dry out my skin. I am 55 and still suffer from adult acne, and I have to use an acne cleanser and toner daily to reduce breakouts. This product helps stop the pimples from forming.

Actually Works
I haven't found anything to 100% get rid of a blemish, but this is the best I've found so far. I would buy again.
