Pros:This is the only product that works well for me. Salycilic Acid and Benzoil Peroxide do absolutely nothing!
Cons:I have a hard time finding it in my area. The tint is a little dark but I put it on about 5 minutes before applying moisturizer and that smooths out the tint.
Bottom Line:Prefer this to anything else.
Recommended:Yes
Acne severity:moderate

Pros:This product works really well but you have to let your skin get used to it as it is VERY drying the first couple of days. I've sworn by this spot treatment for years now but need something a little stronger when I get large, swollen acne.
Cons:A little drying and doesn't work as well on large pimples. (Although it creates a matte effect which makes it look less conspicuous)
Bottom Line:The best value for your money! The large tube costs only about $5.00 and it lasts for ages! I use it 2x daily each time I wash my face even if I don't have acne because it keeps it pretty clear. (and matte) I should also mention I have combination skin that sporadically breaks out in the chin and nose area. yuck!

Pros:It works; especially on blackheads or noninflamed acne, but also on pustules, etc.
Cons:not really a con but, don't use it if you go out. The tint isnt meant so its like makeup or something. Wear it overnight.
Bottom Line:It's the only product I consistently return to after using other stuff because it always works. Also, doesn't contain harmful ingredients like BP that cause wrinkles.

Pros:Works well, even on cystic acne and boils

Bottom Line:Works well on adult acne, especially if you have grown frustrated with benzoyl peroxide remedies that burn when applied, and salicylates that make your face peel like an onion.

Pros:Hides acne well, doesn't make it as noticeable.
Cons:Dries out skin. Tint is a little too dark...
Bottom Line:I've used this product for over a year and at first I had good results. After a while it gave no positive results and left my acne the same it was before. (I have moderately severe acne) Although I will say, it camoflauges your acne pretty well; just use a moisturizer for the dryness. I will stop using this product since it doesn't work for me anymore, but again, it did a decent job of hiding my acne, so I didn't have to use so much makeup.
