Pros My son has used the Equate Acne Vanishing Cream for a couple of years (available only at US Walmarts). Works great..always!! Now we can't find it anywhere...does anyone know if it's coming back?
Cons none for him
Bottom line If anyone knows anything comparable, please let us know.
Use it sparingly. Not much is needed to work.

Pros None
Cons It dried out my skin so bad that the whole area I put it on is Red I
Bottom line I tried mousturizer and everything after I used it and nothing is helping. It was so afull that I had to go to a dermitologist to get cream for it. I am not even allergic to it.I WILL NEVER BUY FROM EQUATE BRAND EVER AGAIN.

Pros It is cheap and works very well.... Walmart no longer sells it so I got the name brand stuff for 5 bucks and it has a smaller content... doesn't work! my face is all broke out!! When are they bringing it back?!?
Bottom line Walmart needs to bring back the Equate acne gel or my face will never be clear again if anyone has found something else that works let me know!

Pros great product!
Cons drys skin, suggest to add jojoba oil to your cleanser or hypoallergenic moisturizer.
Bottom line I posted a rave review for this product back in september. A week ago I went to re-up and after 3 visits to 3 different stores in 3 days they were out. I did some searching on the net and found that it was recalled November '08. The processing plant that makes the Walmart Brand, Kroger Brand, and the Dollar General Brand was found by the FDA to have a form of bacteria in it. I was trully upset for days. I found CVS brand & It seems ok. Walmart associates did not seem to be aware of the recall. I saw a posting on here by another person that their Walmart didn't have it and that's what made me do some digging. Has anyone else found it difficult to find before I write a letter to Walmart????
