I sincerely hope this acne-removal product will not be discontinued, because it’s truly effective. The bottle I bought before lasted me four years, and whenever I had red pimples on my face or got mouth irritation from an irregular diet, applying it would make it heal very quickly. I really hope to receive good news from you.

Works when I need it to
I was sent this by Kiehl's awhile back and I still use it because it works. It's the perfect drying lotion because it doesn't dry out the skin but dries out acne pretty quickly. With salicylic acid and other ingredients, it works well for me. I don't get a lot of acne but I'll get an occasional breakout and this helps clear it up so fast while keeping my skin moisturized.

Clear skin
Love love love! I'm trying out the sample, and I'm definitely going to buy the full bottle size. I just had to weote a review, within a few days I saw result. It feels so light on my skin when I apply, makes my skin feels so soft, the texture is smooth. No fragrance to it. And main ingredient is Salicylic acid1.2%. I eagerly to try more of their products.

must have
Works great and clears up trouble spots in half the time. Doesn't matter if new or existing blemish area, works without irritation. 10/10 would recommend.

Expertly clear
Kiehls expertly clear acne clearing lotion has been great for treating my acne as well as preventing new pimples from forming. It is a lightweight formula and is non irritating. I have sensitive skin and find this suitable for daily use. It absolutely works and is worth the price. I use it in combination with kiehls acne clearing solution

My favorite brand
My skin responds so well to this moisturizer. I have combination skin with small pimples and it does a great job of moisturizing without making my face oily and shiny, and it is also comfortable to use with foundation. I haven't had any irritations while using this moisturizer. Definitely recommend it!
