Pros:

-works very well at first
-results overnight

Cons:

-dries skin a little bit
-stops working completely after a while

At first it worked really good. You could see results overnight and the pimples would shrink to like, half their size. But after a month or so it just stopped having any effect because the skin became immune to it. I kept trying to use it and i think it made it worse after a while.

Pros:

-Eventually cleared up most of my pimples.

Cons:

-Slightly burns

I've been using this spot treatment on & off for a long time, whenever I get bad breakouts. It usually does clear up the pimples, but it takes at least a few days. & even after the pimple is gone, there is still a little red scar, but that's always what my pimples do =/ lol. I do recommend this product, it seems to work well for a lot of people, & works fairly well for me, which is why I continue to turn to it when my breakouts come knockin! lol

Pros:

-okay smell

Cons:

- Sticky
- never cleared a single zit

I used this for over two months with the other products in this line. NOTHING HAPPENED. It never cleared up a single zit nor reduced one. Bottom line--- it sucks

Pros:

Works quickly
Smells fruity
You can feel it working
Lasts a long time

Cons:

Loses effectiveness over a period of time
Sticky
bleaches everything.

I've used this along with the rest of the clean and clear advantage kit for about a year. I've tried loads of things, and i always come back to this, because though it doesn't eliminate all my acne, it definitely improves it over anything else i've used. it's mild, and doesn't make my skin burn, peel, or feel like it's on fire. it seems to work almost over night, and when you wake up, your blemishes appear to have calmed down. it's worth the cheap price, and is probably the most effective treatment you can buy in the stores.

Pros:

-could feel bacteria on my zit getting killed by use of salicylic acid

Cons:

-did not clear up or prevent the zit even when i applied the night before
-dried up zit area
-stung when applied

although this product claimed that 100% people saw clearer skin..i have to disagree. i used this product a few years ago when my acne worsened...but stopped b/c it wasn't working. when my acne came back again recently, i thought i would give it a try..but nothing changed. i applied the night before..even before the zit had "broke out". as soon as i saw a red spot (sign that a zit was forming), i applied the product on. i woke up the next morning with it bigger. i continued to apply as directed..a few times a day, but it still got bigger until i realize it would have been the exact same size even without ANY application. i did notice that it made it more difficult to pop the white heads..( i know its the worse thing to do..but hey..i can't help it). i guess the area around the zit was getting tighter as i used more the product. i really have no idea how they can make such a claim as to "100% of people saw clearer skin the next day." i definitely did not see clearer skin. maybe it's my skin type that did not mesh well with the product..so it might work for others..but beware. could be a waste of money

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Does NOT work for individuals with sensitive skin!

Don't buy this product if you have sensitive skin! I baught this product in Feburary 2010, and i'm still dealing with the consequences. Upon using it before bed i woke up with a huge black spor of the spot where i applied a little touch of it, and upon washing my face it peeled away, i was left with a hole in my face and the compnay only reimbursed me the $12.99 i payed for the product. Now my skin has healed but it has triggerd minor acne compared to the rare one or two break outs i would have before...and little irritation bumps. I currently switched over to neutrogena and its been working wonders for me, i just need to find something for the dark marks it left!

Pros:

pretty good at bigger and newer zits but takes a while for them to finally go away since the way this product works is that pus comes out from the surface and this takes time if the pimple is not mature

Cons:

I've tried the whole kit and waited for two and a half weeks but no noticeable results.Plus the first time I tried it zits appeared right after i applied the treatment

Not very effective since there are tons of better acne products that respond better and won't make you brake out.
