Can I use acne spot treatments on my entire face?

Short answer: No, acne spot treatments should not be used on the entire face.

Detailed answer

Acne spot treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid treatments, are specifically designed to target and treat individual acne breakouts. Applying these spot treatments all over the face can lead to excessive drying and irritation, as they are usually formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients. Instead, it is recommended to use a gentle cleanser and a targeted acne treatment for the entire face to prevent new breakouts and maintain overall skin health.
