Cons:
Can be painful. Expensive. Doesn't always work. Can cause burns.
Having had acne for many years, I've tried just about everything out there, including this. As some others have said here, ThermaClear seems to work best if you can treat as soon as you notice a blemish forming. The recommended treatment didn't seem to work for me, so I used it much more often than the instructions called for, which seemed to work better. However, it inevitably resulted in redness, if not a burn, which would then peel. Does not appear to be effective at all on larger, cystic lesions. I would say save your money and go to a dermatologist rather than use this product.

Pros:
Works on light acne.
Cons:
Painful! On the high setting, the heat discharge gives quite a jolt. It'll wake you up for sure! Not effective on the medium setting.
Does not work as well in winter, as the tip does not heat up enough to generate a sufficiently high temperature to kill the bacteria.
Good for small zits. Ok as a spot treatment, though I prefer DKR's AHA+ or the Proactiv sulfur mask for that.
Pros:
Easy to use
