A maximum-strength 2% salicylic acid gel for spot-treating individual pimples. Neutrogena's Micro-Clear Technology is claimed to push the acid deeper into clogged pores, and the brand says it reduces pimple size, swelling and redness within 8 hours. The clear, non-comedogenic gel also contains witch hazel and can be applied up to three times a day. It suits people who want a targeted, fast-drying spot treatment rather than an all-over acne routine; compared with leave-on pads or cleansers it is more concentrated but covers less skin, and it is harsher than gentler benzoyl peroxide-free options for sensitive skin.
