Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment – 21gm

Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment – 21g

Product Overview:

Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment is a topical medication formulated to rapidly target and reduce the appearance of individual acne blemishes. Packaged in a 21-gram tube, it is designed for targeted application directly on affected areas, providing a convenient and effective solution for acne-prone skin.

Active Ingredients and Mechanism of Action:

• Active Ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%)
  Benzoyl peroxide is a well-established antimicrobial agent that targets Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria involved in acne formation. It also helps in reducing inflammation and unclogging pores by promoting the shedding of skin cells.

Indications & Uses:

• Treatment of inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions such as pimples, pustules, and papules.
• Suitable for use on mild to moderate acne outbreaks.
• Ideal for spot treatment to prevent the spread or worsening of individual pimples.
• Used as part of a daily skincare regimen to manage persistent acne.

Application Process:

1. Preparation:
   • Cleanse affected skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser.
   • Pat dry with a soft towel to ensure skin is dry before application.
2. Application:
   • Squeeze a small amount of the gel (about the size of a pea) onto a clean fingertip or applicator.
   • Apply directly onto the affected area, covering the blemish completely.
   • Avoid applying to surrounding healthy skin to prevent unnecessary irritation.
3. Frequency:
   • Typically used once or twice daily, depending on skin sensitivity and severity of acne.
   • It’s recommended to start with once daily to assess skin tolerance.
4. Post-application:
   • Wash hands thoroughly after application.
   • Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer if needed to prevent dryness.
   • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas.

Precautions & Considerations:

• Use sunscreen during the day to prevent photosensitivity.
• Discontinue use if excessive dryness, redness, or peeling occurs.
• Not recommended for use on broken or severely irritated skin.
• Consult a dermatologist if no improvement is observed after several weeks.

Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment is a targeted, benzoyl peroxide-based gel that offers rapid and localized treatment of acne lesions. Its straightforward application process makes it suitable for individuals seeking an effective, easy-to-use solution for acne management.
