Pros:Smells nice, works ok
Cons:Does not work well over time.
Bottom Line:Have used for about 8 - 12 months on and off and when first used worked very well in both keeping my acne at bay and moisturizing my skin. Now, seems that it doesn't do anything for my acne, but continues to be a decent moisturizer.
Recommended:No

Pros:~Leaves skin soft
~Reduces redness and swelling
~Skin is truly hydrated and in balance
Cons:~Some pustules were seen after a few days
~Could be a bit thicker consistency, but it easily spreads anyway
Bottom Line:A very good product with little cons that are easily outweighed by pros. I had used Rapid Clear Lotion for about 3 months and it worked well in the beginning (not as well as this, though), but later it seemed as if it was not doing anything. I hope this one lasts a bit longer, or else I will have to search for something else, like Proactiv.

Pros:Worth every penny, reduces redness, clears acne, keeps acne away, makes my skin sooo soft, gets rid of all uneccessary oils, and smells fantastic!
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I have tried so many products out there and I have gotten the same results with every single one. Improvement in my skin with later dissapointment... I use the 3 step system (Oil free Acne stress control Scrub and foaming cleanser) and you will most likely not get good results unless you use the other 2 products in this 3 step system by neutrogena. I use to have severe acne all over my face and I had given up until I began using this product and in less than 1 week my skin was flawless! My skin hasnt looked this good in years! Thank you so much Neutrogena!
p.s not only is my acne gone... but since i use this stuff with the scrub and foaming cleanser my face is softer and brighter! I deffinitley reccommend this product.

Pros:light, controls acne, smells good
Cons:It is not a moisturizer!!!
Bottom Line:OK i love love love this stuff! But you have to know how to use it. It is not a moisturizer (or i wouldnt use it as one..) Put it all over your face at night, and it doesn't treat your acne, it prevents it. It works really well, and goes on smoothly and smells amazing!

Pros:Smells nice
Cons:Doesn't reduce redness (it actually causes it)
Dries skin out
Caused me to break out
Bottom Line:I used the entire tube of this, and it dried my skin out, irritated it, and made it itchy. My skin is sensitive and I have moderate acne. The tube lasted about a month (maybe two, I don't know), and when I finished, I did not repurchase.

Pros:Matte finish, does not bleach clothing, smells great, feels very soothing non irritating. Will not break you out
Cons:NO SPF, does not moisturize completely, thin consistency. sal acid does not completely control acne.
Bottom Line:I AM CLEAR and I use this daily -in the morning mixed 50/50 with complex 15 and 5 drops tea tree oil. Keeps me shine free and well moisturized all day. This product more for mild to moderate adult acne. I use 2.5% BP at night followed by Aqua Glycolic lotion.

I have alot of methods.. I've had real bad acne but it's finally calming down.. like, sit in the sun 4 bout 30-45 minutes each day if possible on a mat or sumthin, that really cleared my acne good n is fast.. n natural ha.. email me if you'd like to many more methods..leifsjohnson@[link removed]
