Pros:are you serious!!! this product is ridiculous!! honestly i've tried every acne treatment you can think of... except for pro active and that's just cause i've seen what it really does to people face "makes it worse". and no acne treatment comes close!
Cons:i guess... the only bad thing about it is that its only sold at wal-mart but... isn't that where everyone shops???
Bottom Line:if you want a acne treatment that actually does its job..... then equate is right for you!!

Pros:Works very well - at a much better price than other over the counter products.
Cons:the bottle ( cream ) has a weird gritty ingredient, which i can't stand. needs to be shaken well - best for spot treatment. Usage all over will produce an extremely dry almost powdery film. Can only be bought at Wal Mart.
Bottom Line:I just started using this a few months ago, as I could not afford another similar product - I was very impressed with the results. This might work perfectly for people with light acne, but I am battling problem adult acne.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Reviewer has used this item for a few months.
Price Paid:2.50

Pros:Leaves face totally oil free for the ENTIRE DAY!! This is such a major plus because my face was so oily, I could wipe down shop machines with my forehead and keep them from rusting.
Also clears up acne very well and works much faster than 2.5 or 5
Cons:Weird gritty consistency at first, but it all rubs in.
Bottom Line:Make sure you put on moisturizer after applying this, it not only is good for your face but it rubs in the white streaks you missed.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Joe has used this item for about a month.

Pros:Works well. Driew up acne
Cons:Ruins pillow cases. There's something in the jell that when it gets on a colored pillow case it acts like bleach. Ruined several pillow cases before I realized it was from this product. How do I contact the manufacturer?
Bottom Line:Don't use before going to bed!
