Pros Works well in getting rid of those big zits. Not as harsh as Benzoyl Peroxide and seems to work faster for me.
Cons Can dry out skin, but a little moisturizer takes care of that.
Smells a little funky but not that bad.
Bottom line This is a great product, a necessity for me. I occasionally get that large embarrassing pimple that this product helps get rid of. Apply at night as it isn't something you want to walk around with on. However, if you still have a large whitehead in the morning, you can apply a tiny bit of this product to the tip of the pimple to help hide it without looking like you have weird make-up on.

Pros Inexpensive, effective.
Cons Small container, easy to lose.
Bottom line If you're thinking about not getting this because of the complaints about smell, get it! The smell is not bad at all, it actually smells like roses. At least mine does, purchased in 2009, and I have a very, very good sense of smell. So, perhaps a fragrance change?

I am not using this to keep acne at bay, as I've been taking Accutane for 3 months & my face is currently acne free. I'm using it for the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

I was using a mild salicylic gel overnight, which may have been working, but I lost the ridiculously tiny container, so I tried this out and the next morning I was startled at how much fainter my marks were and how soft & smooth my skin felt.

I have continued to use this overnight, every night, in conjunction with nothing (thank you, Accutane!) and it continues to work brilliantly.

You should realize in a few seconds that you cannot wear this out. Perhaps it should not be advertised as hinting this, but really, who cares? It w

Pros Seems to work really well and does blend well with my skin tone.
Cons Not too fond of the smell, but can live with it for the results!
Bottom line I haven't used it long enough to know if it will eliminate future breakouts, but so far so good and VERY inexpensive!!

Pros Works really well on acne
Cons Smells, discolors/bleaches clothing
Bottom line DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I have used it for years, and have always had to replace damaged clothing. Although the warning is on the label, it's just not worth it in the long run. It's funny how there is no rating option for recommending this product. I'm done with it.

Pros works well on all types of acne, keeps my skin smooth and helps prevent new acne
Cons slightly pungent smell
Bottom line I've spent a good 15 years on what seemed like a never-ending quest for clear skin. I've tried everything out there sparing no expense whatsoever (ie. MD prescribed topical/oral antibiotics, over-the-counter treatments, and even accutane!). Since my skin gets irritated by salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide has absolutely no effect on my adult acne, I recently bought this Clearasil adult acne cream as a last ditch effort. I found that using the cream (right after a good 3 minute lather with Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial Cleanser) gives me heaven-sent results!! For the first time in years, the little bumps on my face are disappearing! This combination has personally worked out lovely for me :)

Bottom line The product seem to work.. and it's also affordable i bought mine @ Walmart. If you have patience and clean your face regularly you will see great results

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.

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!
