Pros:

- reduces pimple size within a day
- no strong odor

Cons:

- stings a bit
- takes a while to fully clear a pimple
- expensive for a small tube
- mostly only works on odors

I bought this to get rid of a pretty big pimple, fast. I applied it twice a day, or more, and I honestly noticed the pimple getting a little better... slowly. It took a few days to clear the pimple completely, but I'm sure that's a little faster than the natural process.

Pros:

makes the pimple a bit smaller
Takes some of the redness away

Cons:

Doesn't get rid of the whole pimple
Doesn't really work what it was meant for
small and pricey

It's an okay product. I used it many times but what it does is make the blemish smaller or nothing at all. I would recommend to use toothpaste instead of this.

Pros:

Cleared pimples
smells great
not sticky
works well

Cons:

stings a little

It works within the next day! It was amazing and I couldn't believe it! I use to use neutrogena on the spot acne treatment but it did not work as well as this. The box even said 100% showed clearer skin the next day! I will always use this.

Pros:

-Inexpensive
-Fast acting

Cons:

-Dries out my skin
-Leaves scabs

Its a great product. I get a zit, put some of the spot treatment on for a few nights and the pimple's life is reduced. It dries up the pimple but after the pimple is gone the treatment leaves a dried scab that takes a while to go away. Other than that I highly recommend this product.

Pros:

-Goes on very nicely
-Didn't CAUSE me to break out
-Small tube lasts a long time, even if you use a lot each day

Cons:

-Didn't get rid of my acne scars, which I thought was the point

I have sensitive skin and this product didn't irritate me or cause any harm but it didn't really do any good either. I'd say it's worth a try if you want but I wouldn't recommend it saying it cured me.

Pros:

- reasonable price
-nice packaging

Cons:

- stings when applied
- not very effective

This product worked the first two times I used it. Of course, it stings a lot, but nothing you can't handle. However, it didn't work after that. It left spots on my face three weeks after I used it. I will not purchase this product again.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Burns
Leaves your skin dry and peeling
Makes acne redder

Not such a good product. My skin is fairly sensitive, but peeling? I haven't had this problen in years!

Pros:

Reduces pimple size.

Cons:

Increases pimple redness.
Smells like beer.

For me, it reduced the size overnight and definitely made my spots a lot smaller and easy to cover with make up. However it does tend to make the pimple really red. It will reduce the size, but increae the redness, so if you are a guy and cannot use makeup to cover the redness, then I would not recommend this product.

Pros:

makes pimple smaller, works for the most part..

Cons:

Stings the first time, stings EVEN more if your skin hasn't healed (so make sure it's healed) Fragrance..smells very alcoholic, the scent stings your nose (don't smell it!!!) results arent quick so be patient.. maybe +3 days?

This is NOT a miracle product. Of course your gonna get pimples every now and then, no product can get of pimples forever.. lol but this product does make the area where you put it on red but it eventually goes away so don't worry about it. From my experience it makes the pimple smaller but not in 8 hours or however many hours it claims to.. Decent product =]

Pros:

it makes your skin feel soft
smells good.

Cons:

I saw either very little results or none at all.
the bottle is too small

I bought the clean & clear control kit, had a cleanser, moisturizer and this spot treatment. I used the spot treatment every night before I went to bed. The results were either very very slow, or I didn't see any results at all. This is just not the product for me. :[ If you want my opinion, there are acne products much better than this. I suggest not buying it.
