Pros:

Can help reduce the size of spots

Not very effective after a while
Dries out skin

Small tube

I haven't had much success with this product unfortunately. A much better product is 'germolene' which is also cheaper.

Pros:

-It reduced the size, but only with the first use
-It doesn't smell bad
-It doesn't sting at all

Cons:

-It made the acne more red than before
-Didn't work very well
-Made my face dry

I am fourteen and I used to only get one or two pimples on my nose, but recently I have had breakouts on my nose, the right side of my mouth, and especially my forehead. My mom went out and bought me the clean and clear acne spot treatment and I followed the directions, but it did not do much of anything to get rid of the acne. This stuff dried out my face on the right side of my mouth and made my forehead and nose really oily and red. I had really high hopes for this, but it did not work very well at all. I do admit though that the acne on my forehead did reduce in size.

Pros:

Reduces size only

Cons:

Burns like the devils rear end
Gets flaky like dry glue on your skin
Doesn't get rid of the entire pimple

It's good if you like getting your acne "half" clear. This stuff burns a lot! And I don't really see a difference after using it. I used this along with my Clean and Clear 3 in 1 acne exfoliating face scrub in the morning and night. And my acne hardly reduced or changed the next day.

Pros:

Reduces spots a little bit

Cons:

1:The packaging is rubbish! When you try to get the gel out of the tube it brings far to much out at once!
2:It really stings when you put i on!
3:It stinks!
4:It's really sticky!

You have to apply it every day for 4 weeks for it to work a little bit!!!!!!!

Pros:

Stings so you know its working

Cons:

No quick results

Takes over 4-5 days for pimple to reduce size. No speedy zap or anything, doesn't work very well on me and I have very light acne..when I get spots it's 2 or 3 really noticeable ones so this is useless. I'd suggest something with quicker results but so fat this is the best I've got. :(

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:

Worked the first couple of times.

Cons:

took a couple weeks to take full effect
costed a lot for one small tube
didn't for-fill what it said it would.

worked on few, but didn't really give me the effect i was wanting. it got rid of the swelling but didn't remove the entire blemish. I would recommend it if you wanted the swelling of your acne to decrease.

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.

Pros:

it helps with the huge pimples (nodules)

Cons:

used it for about a year and nothing worth my time or money happened
broke out every so often

If you don't have an issue with salicylic acid you should be fine. but if your skin is sensitive like mine it wont really work.
