Pros:

Reduces size of pimples
no strong smell
works fast if you use it right

Cons:

Price is a little high

I love this product, it clears up my acne really quickly. The bottle says to apply it 2-3 times daily and that's how you should do it, it gets rid of acne way quicker. Some people say the price it to much for such a little bottle, but the first few times you buy a bottle it will cost a lot bu tin the long run it's cheaper because you don't have to use it 2-3 times then, I use it once a day after my acne is all gone. So love this product!

Pros:

Works intially
Easy to apply

Cons:

Stops working within one tube

I bought this to help with my acne, and within the use of a tube, a lot of my breakouts cleared. Halfway into the second tube, though, it stopped working completely.

WHAT A BIG MISTAKE I MADE.. This product is NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. If you have sensitive skin, don't let this even touch your face for a second.... I payed 10 $$ FOR A BOTTLE THE SIZE OF MY THUMB. This was dreadful. for me anyway. When i first put this stuff on, i was exited thinking in less than 4 hours i would be flawless. I left in on for 1 hour, and then decided to look in the mirror. I was prepared to see clear skin, but instead saw an ATROCITY. my skin was as red as a tomato, with white flakes seeping out of it, it was swollen, and DISGUSTING. I started crying, my mild acne looked MODERATE then and there. it was terrifying and horrific. DO NOT use this product if you have sensitive skin. you will completely regret it. II did not leave the house for 4 days, until the swelling and redness went away. this was horrible. Even after the swelling and redness diminished, the pimples were FULLY THERE. nothing even went away, even after all i've done to remove the swelling & redness /iritation ETC ETC . for 4 days i had aloe vera, and baby lotion smeered over my face constantly. Along with icing it for 10-20 minutes a day. Basically, I would assume this working for people who dont have sensitive skin....

Pros:

The product works great.

Cons:

I found in two different tubes of this stuff that a mold started growing inside the outer layer of the tube. Has anyone else had this happen? The mold is pink in color and ranges from almost white, light pink to darker plum pink and is visible on the back of the tube under the Directions. It appears to be like liquid as when you squeeze it, it moves and bubbles under the plastic.

I'm not sure it's safe.

Pros:

- Smells Nice
- Feels cooling to the skin
- Not expensive ( the price stated is in ringgit, to find USD just divide it by 3.5 )
- Easy to apply

Cons:

- Noticed that it stopped working after a few days of success

I bought this product cuz I was trying to find a pimple gel/cream other than Benzoyl Peroxide. When I used it the first day, I saw very fast results where my pimples shrunk the next day I woke up. After a few days, I kept on using it. Then I notice that it suddenly stings. ( It was cooling the first time I used it ) I have been using for 2 weeks and will be planning to use it until the product finishes. If it doesn't work, then I would say that it would have not worked on my skin. But remember, if it doesn't work on mine, it might work for you. =D

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It doesn't reuce redness. It takes about 9 days for the pimple to actually go away, but then your left with a red acne scar.

Don't waste your money on this usless product!

Too Strong
No warning anywhere
Burned face of my 14 year-old.

My daughter is being treated for burns on face after one day use of this product. She only applied it on a few little pimples. Two days later she wakes up with bright red patches on whole face. The doctor said it contains a strong dose of Salycic acid. If you are not someone who knows what is considered a strong dose what happens? They should mention on label that you should do a patch test on the hand. My daughter was prescribed with an antibiotic cream and cortizone cream. She is also quite depressed. Not looking forward to returning to school with this new face after the holidays.
