This is a fast-acting treatment for the spots associated with acne.

It is applied topically to relieve redness and spots.

What is acne?

Acne is a very common skin problem that can affect people of all ages and skin types. According to the NHS, 95% of people aged between 11 and 30 suffer from some type of acne.

This problem is frequently caused by hormonal changes during puberty, although you can get it at any age. Some hormones cause the glands that produce grease next to the hair follicles in the skin to produce more oil (sebum) than usual.

The abnormal production of sebum changes the activity of another bacterium that is normally harmless. This bacterium becomes aggressive and causes inflammation and pus to occur, which creates spots.

How does Clearasil Rapid Action Cream work?

This treatment will get to work as soon as it is applied to the skin. It works by exfoliating the skin to open up your blocked pores. Doing this works to clear the built up oil and sebum that cause inflammation.

Applying Clearasil Rapid Action Cream in the morning means that, within a few hours, your spots will be noticeably smaller.
