Pros:It works great! cleared my skin up in a couple of day, I like it cause it gave you no shine at all, and the cream kind of hides your existing pimples!
Cons:This stuff does not spread at all and dries out way to fast, It also left white residue all over my face, takes forever to apply!
Bottom Line:It's a good product, clears skin well...But applying it is a pain in the a$$, I wish it was a little more light and spreaded better....I would reccomend Dan's BP Gel!!!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Drew has used this item for about a week.

Pros:None
Cons:Over priced for the amount of product you receive. ((((Doesn't work period ))))
Bottom Line:I would not recommend this product to anyone. This product is not meant for sensitive skin.
It is way to harsh for anybody’s face. It burns and increases the amount of acne on your face. ((DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT))
Recommended:No

Pros:Works well, gets rid of pimples faster and helps with redness.
Cons:WAY TOO DRYNG for my face! It completely made my face go crazy and I was peeling so bad on my chin. I couldn't smile throughout the day b/c I it literally felt like my skin was about to crack. Didn't look to nice either, so I stopped using it.
Bottom Line:Good as a spot treatment like what it is made for, definitely not the whole face. Although it claims it is gentle, it was too harsh for me and way to drying.

People with sensitive skin I woudln't recommend, I learned that the hard way! My skin is still messed up b/c of it.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Heather has used this item for about a week.

Pros:Available at every drugstore. Not terribly expensive.
Cons:Smells funny. Doesn't 'melt' into skin well. Leaves an ichy white residue so it is really annoying to have to put lotion after and then makeup in the morning. Especially in the summer when it's about 90 degrees in DC and 100% humidity!
Bottom Line:The white residue was uber not cool. I just bought Dan's BP and it is WAY better and I've only been using it for 2 days. The price is actually better because of the size. I use Vanicream bar of soap two times a day. I like it because it's cheap and very gentle. (About $2.85 at Target. You have to ask for it at the Pharmacy, behind the counter.) I use Dan's BP in the morning and at night. In the morning I use Garnier Noutrise SPF 15 lifting lotion and at night I use 10% glycolic alpha hydroxy brand after Dan's BP. It's only been two days but I already see wonderful results for the new BP. Being able to use BP in the morning (no more white residue from the Nuetrogena brand BP ) seems to be making a HUGE difference.

Pros:I tried this tx after it was recommended to me to use as all-over tx rather than just on the spot, and it works great that way!
Cons:I go through 0.75 oz. quite fast and would like to purchase a larger quantity. I did hear such a package exists, but I can't remember where, so I am searching the net today to find it.
Bottom Line:This product will clump sometimes, but I've always found a way to blend it in, with an oil-free moisturizer, and foundation on a daily basis. It has kept my face clearer than any other product. I've recommended it to my younger sisters who are struggling as I was at that age. Most important though, is to go through the daily routine of washing, treating, and moisturizing NO MATTER WHAT! My sisters don't like to wash their face before bed every night and you have to be that dedicated to get clear skin!

Pros:It has worked amazingly for minor breakouts I've had.
Cons:It hasn't worked as well for moderate breakouts I've had.
Bottom Line:This can work really well, but it's not the answer to everything. I used this for a minor acne breakout I had a few years ago and it was the only thing that worked. However, I had the worst breakout of my life on my chin and above my lips for the past two months, and this did not heal it. I had to use other methods which were dramatically better. It's possible that the reason it worked for me once really well and not the second time, could be different factors at play, concerning stress and environment.
