Pros:

Prevents new pimples from forming, and decreases size considerably.

Cons:

Sometimes burns, it didn't really improve the redness, so it might as well have not done anything because my acne is still pretty noticeable, and it kinda smells like beer.

Kinda steep price, but it keeps your acne in check, and in combination with other methods, you should see a vast improvement. Buy it.

Pros:

works really well... if used twice a day as soon as you feel a pimple coming up, it can prevent it from getting really inflammed. it's also a clear gel which is nice and dries quickly on skin

Cons:

it can burn and sting skin if applied to an inflammed pimple, but only for a couple of seconds and it can also make the area dried out if used more that 2 times a day

buy it, it's kind of expensive but it's the best on-the-spot acne treatment i've found

This stuff was terrible! An absolute nightmare. It made my skin A LOT worse. When I used it, my skin would burn. My skin turned really red. People were asking me if I got sun burnt! Then my skin started to peel. It didn't peel all over, but just in patches. My skin looked awful needless to say. I love Clean & Clear products, but I recommend staying far away from this one. Try the persa-gel instead that has benzoyl peroxide. It is also a spot treatment, but works amazingly!

Did not work for me! BURNED like crazy and left a blood red rash/swelling. NOT good for sensitive skin.

TERRIBLE
i would definitely not recommend this product i bought this for a pimple that you could barely see and i put this ointment on my face for 10 minutes and i have a major breakout , it's burned very bad & turned very red , luckily since i have stopped using it my acne is almost gone but i would reccomend something with peroxide in it , or putting peroxide on your face also helps get bacteria out of pours. also this left my skin very dry

It didn't work for me
When I first used this, it worked okay, but it didn't improve my acne much. I stopped using it for a few months then started using it again because of a bad breakout. Instead of helping clear it up, it made my skin dry and red wherever I applied it. I wouldn't use this product again

LITERALLY burned my skin
This product was HORRIFIC. I put a very think layer on a blemish and now I have a scab 4-5 times the pimple size on the side of my face. I have NEVER had this sort of reaction to anything I have ever used before. It looks as though I put a curling iron on my face for a minute. DO NOT USE.

Not great.
This product burns a lot, i have combination skin which tends to be quite sensitive, but after using this product for 2 days my skin has been dry and flakey where i applied the product, i don't recommend this

Only One That Works for Me!
All the other products mess with my skin WAY too much, but this is perfect and works fast! Just in time for my pictures too! :D

Minimal Results
I used this product because it was available at my local pharmacy and there were many positive reviews. Please note that this product certainly works for some people, just not for me. Also, I have somewhat sensitive skin, so that might be part of it. However, after applying it for about 3 weeks consistently on pimples, zits, and other acne, it didn't really help. On smaller acne, it helped expedite the process of it healing. But, it would scab over after and there would be a burning sensation post application. On the larger stuff, it would burn, and there would be no noticeable improvement. I used it on my skin for 3 weeks, and nothing really big changed. There were small improvements, but it didn't prevent acne. I gave this product a rating of 3 stars because even though it didn't really help me, I have seen reviews and people that claim improvement while using this product. There was a slight pain factor as well because of the burning sensation that I felt a couple of minutes after applying the product. I have heard this to be the case for some spot treatments, and it also might be an affect of my sensitive skin. If anyone has had similar experiences or product recommendations, please let me know! :)
