Spot acne treatment??

I've been using a salicylic acid acne treatment but it doesn't seem to help. Maybe it's the brand. I was thinking about a benzoyl peroxide treatment? I have dry skin that's acne prone so I can't use acne treatment on my entire face but I would love to find a spot treatment. Do you have any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it.

How about adapalene? It has significantly reduced the appearance of new acne for me

Seconding this! Using adapalene per my dermatologist’s recommendation — has reduced my facial acne to almost zero and improved texture. Takes some time to start working and you may experience a purge.

I Love using Good Molecules Brand. They have almost everything for skin concerns. I am new to this app so will have more reviews on my page soon I hope. I will follow you and hopefully help the best I can. I am 44 so acne and malasma have been a journey for me too.

Salicylic acid is a bit too irritating for some people/skin types, benzoyl peroxide is less so. I’ve had a lot more luch with a BP cleanser than the years I’ve used salicylic acid so it’s definitely worth a shot.

Bubble has two different spot treatments, Knock Out and Fade Away. I use them all the time. So great! Also, The Inkey List's Succinic Acid treatment was very effective for me.
