Pros:This BP on the spot is not over-drying. It worked for me in about a month.
Cons:The tube is small for such a high price. YOu have to apply alot and do it religously.
Bottom Line:I now have friends and family coming up to me say that my skin looks great. I tried everything, from just face wash to tetracycline to benzaclin. This is the only product that has helped at all (I tried differin too).

Pros:-Doesn't irritate my skin at all
-Clears up acne
-Doesn't hurt when I put it on
Cons:Can't think of any right now
The smell could be better, actually.
Bottom Line:This is my system:
When I shower, at night, I use clinique extra strength on my face, chest and back to get rid of dirt and other crap on my skin. After my shower, I put the Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment on my face, chest and back. I only use the Neutrogena at night, once a day so to not irritate my skin.
Within 5 days after using this system consistently, I saw improvement in my blemishes. They seem to be going through the whole cycle more quickly. However, you can't stop using it for a few days after doing it consistently because it can cause the blemishes to return quickly.
I love this stuff, and I would recomend it to anyone with moderate acne. I don't know if it is strong enough for severe acne.
But, seriously, try it!

Pros:None.
Cons:I'm normally quite all right with BP but this one burns my skin. I don't even have the burning problem with Oxy 10% BP. But this one burns my skin so badly. It also itches wherever I apply it. My acne doesn't heal at all too.
Bottom Line:I wouldn't recommend this to someone with sensitive skin. Burns and leaves a dark scar, itches like crazy. Quite expensive for such a small tube too.
Recommended:No
Usage:Dayna has used this item for about a week.
Price Paid:9.50

Pros:easy to use, did not cause my skin to peel, did not irritate my skin like 10% benzoyl peroxide did
Cons:took about a month for results
Bottom Line:They key to benzoyl peroxide is consistency. I had to use this stuff religiously, every single night, for about 50 days before my skin cleared up. I had mild acne, but now it's almost completely gone. I couldn't be more thrilled. This is the first time I've had clear skin since 1999!

My regimen is simple:
1. before going to bed, wash your face gently with a cleanser.
2. apply the On-the-Spot (or any 2.5% benzoyl peroxide)
3. wait for the bp to dry, and then apply moisturizer.

That's it.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Alissa has used this item for a few months.
Acne severity:light

Pros:This stuff works. Cleared my acne, almost 90% clear now.
Cons:dries out skin, burns if you perspire even a bit.
Bottom Line:I didn't see results until about a month after using. Also, I started out using it in combination with Clindamycin. I would apply the Clindamycin layer first then the One the Spot treatment. After two weeks my skin was so dry, felt like it would crack! I never bothered with moisturizer though because I'm terrified of clogged pores. Instead I just exfoliated as needed to get rid of flakes. I eventually removed the Clindamycin because I hear you become resistant eventually and just continued with this alone. Be patient and consistent - this stuff works.
