Pros dries "whiteheads" very quickly (often overnight)
somewhat reduces blackheads
good for drying body acne as well
Cons Redness (leaves large red marks at times)
Dries skin & can cause peeling
stiff feeling
doesn't prevent acne
Bottom line good for quick drying

I use vaseline to combat the dry skin & redness after use
Price paid $6.90

Pros It works
Cons Drying
Bottom line I love this stuff! I was having a terrible breakout on my forehead and this cleared it up in less than a week. I've been using it every night for about 3 weeks to a month now and I can honestly say that no other BP treatment has been this great for my skin (in fact, I've never had good results from ANY BP). The acne on my forehead is gone and my blackheads on my nose are diminishing. The only downside is that it's drying and my skin flakes a little bit, but with a 10% BP cream that's to be expected. I just make sure to use my Clarisonic Mia when I cleanse for exfoliation and I use a good moisturizer. I feel like my skin will balance out soon. I'm so pleased with this product!

Pros Clears a random zit every now and then
Cons Leaves huge red marks
Burns
Bottom line This will clear up a pimple fast, but it makes the red marks huge and last way longer than if I let the pimple go away normally! Very annoying, and not worth it. Next time I will try 2.5% instead

This cleared my acne almost completely, and I have only been doing this for about 1 month!! The first week your skin will be very dry but it is worth it for clear skin. My skin went from moderately severe to VERY LIGHT ACNE! It cleared my systic and regular acne. AMAZING PRODUCT! A MUST HAVE!!

Pros Lessens pimple size
Cheap
Cons If you apply too big of an amount, it will dry and look "cakey" on your skin
Bottom line I've used this product for years. Whenever I have a big breakout, I apply a dollop of it to that pimple (I don't rub it in) before I go to bed, and when I wake up the next morning, the size of the pimple is significantly smaller. i prefer to use the vanishing cream instead of the tinted. I only use the tinted if I'm going out somewhere and want to cover it up. Highly recommend this product for people with pimple problems.

Pros slowely clears acne
Cons cant really wear under makeup
will dry skin
flakes off if you put on a generous amount
Bottom line This stuff worked great for me a year ago, but now it lost its potence.. maybe my skin has changed? But it does slowely clear my acne... not as quick as it used to though. It's also somewhat impossible to wear under makeup.. unless you use tinnnyy amounts. It also sometimes dries out my skin but I haven't had much of a problem lately.
