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.

Pros A little goes a long way, and smells great for being an acne treatment
Cons none that i can think of
Bottom line This is a GREAT product.
I use it at night before bed, and in the morning after i wash my face.
It can double as a moisturizer, I sometimes use a regular lotion (garnier skin renew) if I'm feeling overly dry.

The scent is nice. Its a very light treatment and works great.

Pros It last long and reduces some redness
Cons Takes a -long- time to show effects.
Bottom line I used it for about two weeks and it really didnt do much for me.
Maybe thats just me, but I stopped using it and well not much of a difference. Its an alright product for someone with patience and/or doesnt care how long your acne will clear up =]]

Pros - Lightweight, great day formula, works for me, lasts a long time
Cons - No result at first, had to wait for them =/, does not always get rid of all pimples (if I have a big one, I use Garnier's SOS Pen over it), tkaes a long time to rubs in, occasional flakiness
Bottom line At first, I bought this product a few months ago. It didn't work, even though I persisted for around a month. My regime back then was cleanse with Cetaphil, apply, and repeat during night. I got impatient, and bought Clean&Clear's Advantage Spot treatment, which sorta worked, until I decided I didn't like the stinging feeling. A month ago, I decided to use this as a day formula, and the Clean&Clear as a night formula. That made my acne clear up a bit, more, though I did still breakout. I decided to throw the Clean&Clear out, and just use this. The regime I was is the same as the one I did when I first bought it, but now it works. I have no idea why it didn't work before.
My acne is only on my forehead, and a few months ago, I just let my bangs hide my pimples. I still do that during school, but whenever I don't go out, I pull my hair back. Maybe that helped. I'm not sure.
My forehead is much better now. It only has red marks that I have to get rid of now.
