This works really well on my skin for clearing up the occasional stubborn blemish that decides to turn up. I usually rotate from Salicylic acid to benzyl peroxide, so I tend to keep both on hand. I don't like using anything that stands out on my face or just lingers, so this is nice, because it actually goes on clear and dries quickly. After a few minutes, it's like I have nothing on my face, but I know it's working, because I see the results. The only downside is that this a bit pricey. I have found comparable products that work just as well for a fraction of the price. Other than that, it is a really good salicylic acid for sporadic spot treating.
