Pros:it used to work
Bottom Line:according to my brother though, i used a little too much and a few nights later my skin (where i had applied it) was really dry and flaky. the next morning i woke up with a really dry t-zone and the pimples were still the same except my skin looked extremely dry which was very strange because it's always oily so i raised my eyebrows and holy crap i had awful wrinkly looking dry skin. i was shocked-i'm only 15!!!!!!!it's not fair, i thought. hopefully it'll clear up because it's driving me crazy!!!!!!ughhh

Pros:I used this first when I started the CSR. It worked very well. It also made my face less greasy.
Cons:It beaded up A LOT. Especially when using moisturizer. I had to use a wet washcloth to get the excess off.
Bottom Line:It works if you don't have any of the CSR gel on hand, but watch out cuz it won't absorb all the way.
Usage:Ven has used this item for a few weeks.

Pros:tightens up my skin so its not so greasy! i can get it at any drug store when i run out and it is just as good as the crap my derm gave me
Cons:not a significant differance but its not worse

Pros:it does kill the germ and clean the pore.
Cons:hate rubbing it to my face. i feel i will have more wrinkle later. :P
Bottom Line:i don't like this prodcut because it's so hard to massage into the skin and i feel i am wearing a geisha mask after it. and it's expensive with such a small tube. but it works. but i will stay with Dan's gel. it's easier to apply and it works quite ok too.
Recommended:Yes

Bottom Line:I e-mailed Neutrogena to find out how come I couldn't find this product anywhere in Ontario anymore. They told me that it has officially been discontinued in Canada. That sucks. :(

Pros:it heals pimples without overdrying skin
Cons:depending on how much you use, can make skin red and itchy
Bottom Line:It's the one product that has alleviated my acne since accutane. Also, if you have a health spending account, you can reimburse yourself for the purchase of this product (or any acne medication, over the counter or prescribed). I would also recommend using a mild soap called vanicream, which is hard to find but can be ordered online (or purchased in CO Bigelow in Manhattan).

I've started Duac (day 2), which has 5% BP. Will update you on the difference.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:W has used this item for a few months.

Bottom Line:I couldn't find this exact product at the store, but I found a clean and clear one that is 10%. I've only been using it about 5 days, only once a day, and it's amazing! I had a bunch of red spots/scars and about 8 pimples on my chin. It does dry out your skin some, but moisturize alot! And girls, use Oil of Olay....it feels wonderful for the moisturizer!!!
