Picked this little bottle of .5 fl oz of clearing gel at TjMaxx for $3 on clearence!
Having never tried Shiseido before, I was excited to pick this up because I've heard nothing but good things about the brand. I've found myself reaching for this often when it's that time of the month or when I get the occasional breakout. Recently, I've noticed a change in my skin in areas where I was never really problematic before. My pores in my t-zone are larger, and my skin is becoming more sensitive to products I use on it. This product contains salicylic acid to help clear and treat blemishes, and also prevent them from forming. This formula is also non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog your pores.
Prior to applying this, I cleansed my skin throughly and patted it dry. I applied this to any pimples or red spots ONLY. Please note, this is a spot clearing gel, and should not be applied entirely to the face. Upon application, I could feel my skin absorbing the product and I felt a slight tingling sensation on my pimple. (which means the product is activating and working!) The gel formula was easy to apply and not greasy at all. I did not put a moisturizer over the top of this. I experienced no drying or peeling of the skin, after use. However my skin was slightly more reddened upon application but the redness subsided within 24 hours.
Below are photos taken within a 24 time period. Amazing results!

Freshly applied to my skin about 9:30 at night on 4/7/2015.
After application, about 11:00 on 4/7/2015. You can see where the redness is starting to penetrate under the skin. But you can also see where the gel is starting to dry out the blemish! (center)
4/8/2015 About 11:00 this morning, and you can see how well this gel has aided in clearing this blemish up! It's not completely gone yet, but I am confident with continued use of this product this pimple will subside. The redness has also subsided and my skin did not dry out or peel.
Would most defenitely suggest this to anyone looking for an awesome spot treatment to clear up pimples and blemishes. This little bottle is a miracle!
