Pros worked right away
Cons none so far
Bottom line I have had acne for what seems to be forever. I came across this website and decided to try the regimen right away so I went to target and bought this product. PERFECT! I love it. I have been on this for 2 months and am totally clear. I am thinking about buying Dan's BP just because there is more in the tube.

Pros -Reduced my acne quite significantly
Cons -Very drying. Made my face red and itchy (although I expected this to some degree)
-Did not like the white residue it left (although this went away after I applied lotion, it would come back if I would sweat)
-Super expensive for a very little tube
Bottom line Ok, I thought this was God sent until I tried Dan's BP...oh my goodness that stuff is wonderful!! I could never go back to using neutrogena on-the-spot after using acne.org's treatment gel. Although, it did do its job well and I could always easily pick it up at the store if I suddenly ran out of Dan's BP.

Pros Clears up pretty well
Prevents new spots from appearing
Cons Dries my skin out
Caused rashes
Not easy to blend with makeup
Bottom line I don't know how much this would help but here goes... I'm 17, German-Chinese, a mix between pinkish European skin and yellow Asian skin tone, with moderately sensitive skin.

I initially followed the acne.org regimen but it gave me rashes all over. Little itchy red bumps with flaky skin, all over my face. I now use a cleanser, toner, moisturiser and then the Neutrogena but I dab it on my problem areas instead.

It has cleared me up quite a bit compared to other treatments. Try it!

Pros It works
Cons It doesn't work
Bottom line This is one of those crazy benzoyl peroxide treatments. If you dont put it on a CLEAN face it makes it worse. It reacts badly with chlorine, This worked great for a week. Then i went swimming and put it on after, it burned my face. I know it works. Just not 4 me. I would definitely try it but dont get your hopes up to high.

Pros Works very well
Cleared up acne quickly
Doesn't smell too bad
Cons Can make skin very dry and flaky if you use too much or don't use moisturizer
Tends to burn if I use a lot
Bottom line This product is amazing! I am so glad that I found this through acne.org it has made me feel so much better about myself! I have light acne so I'll usually have a lot of little pimples or a few big ones. I''ve been using this product for about a week or two and it's really helped! All my little blemishes on my forehead are gone and it's working on my larger blemishes. I could tell the day after I started using Neutrogena that it was working. When I first started using this I would wash my face at night and in the morning with my Cetaphil daily cleanser but only at night time would I use the Neutrogena on the Spot. I've been using it every day now sometimes morning and everynight. My skin is VERY dry but that's only because I don't put moisturizer on. It doesn't feel dry it just LOOKS dry.

Anyway, this product is GREAT and I recommend this to anyone with light acne as it'll clear it right up quickly! I'm not sure with more severe acne but it's worth a shot!

Pros Dries acne FAST, makes face feel smooth, reduces redness.
Cons Very drying, small tube (expensive).
Bottom line This stuff works. It's a miracle. I've used Proactiv, Acnefree, and all the expensive 10% PM creams. This cream has done more in one day that everything else did in years. I started using it this afternoon and by night, my face was much less red-looking. The pimples I had are dry and almost gone. My face feels smooth and I feel more confident already. I can't wait to see the results when I keep using it consistently.

Just try it. Don't buy the intense 10% BP stuff. This stuff is mild and and makes skin feel amazing.

Seriously, it's amazing. Just buy it.

Pros Clears acne, easy to apply, great for oily face.
Cons Doesn't work on blackheads, when raining or in pool the cream comes off face, small tube.
Bottom line This product was what I started with for the 3 step Acne.org regimen by Dan before going to the gel. In just 3 weeks my face was clear using this product. Just follow the steps of the regimen when using this product and your face will most likely clear up, mine did.

Pros It doesn't dry out skin, dries out blemishes in a few days.
Cons Doesn't really prevent future breakouts, or get rid of current ones all that fast. Basically just keeps your face from getting worse.
Bottom line I've used this cream for about 3 years, and it hasn't done anything for my face, I just never changed because I never knew what else to use. I just stopped using it, and started using On A Clear Day, and it's already started to clear up my skin. I think this Neutrogena product might work if you have very mild acne, or just a few blemishes.

Pros It works!
Gradually dissapears acne
After enough uses, it makes your skin look clearer, and overall appearance appears to be better.
Cons Small bottle
Drying (you will need a moisturizer with this product)
Bottom line For years Ive been searching for a product to clear up my acne and NOTHING would work. I finally found something that works! Its very exciting. I am very curious as to see what it will look like in a couple more weeks.

Pros cleared my adult acne after 4 years of trying everything except laser and acutane
Cons $6/10 days
Bottom line 4 years ago I developed adult acne. Since then I've tried Proactive, Murad, DDF, Arbonne, Cetaphil, holistic remedies including acupuncture, cleanses, enemas, prescription ointments and oral medications, supplements, cutting out sugar and caffiene, expensive make-ups, not wearing make-up... Finally, I have clear skin by using a dime size amount of the On the Spot which I spread over face and neck and follow with a non-comedegenic, fragrance free lotion twice a day with NO redness and NO over-drying! Sometimes simple is better.
