Pros:

Lives up to it's promise and DOES reduce spot size in 4 hours.

Cons:

After the pimple(s) drie out, you are left with a VERY dark red mark for a few days.

I don't have bad acne nor minor (I'm mostly paranoid, as family tell me they can't see the spots but you know how it goes) Anyway, I purcahsed this item because i had tried everything else and to my surprise it actually worked!! And it does exactly what it says on the tube. I had a very big sore spot and a couple of hours later it had shrunk. The next day it was barely there just a little crust. It does leave very sore red marks (JUST FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN FADES), but hey! if you want rid of a pimple fast I'm sure it's worth it!

Pros:

A very good spot treatment, worked really well.

Cons:

I found when I used it on my nose, it made whatever what was on my nose worse. But everywhere else, it worked amazingly.

It is a SPOT treatment. DO NOT USE IT ON YOUR WHOLE FACE! I also suggest using it at night.

ok. this product should not be used on the entire face. It's not meant to be used like a lotion at all. I just use a very small amount and put it directly on a pimple at night. It is sticky, so i suggest using it before bed. The next morning, wash your face and you'll see the pimple had either lost some redness, or has shrunken a bit. This should be ised along with some other kind of scrub or exfoliator.

Pros:

-reduced pimple size after about a week

Cons:

-stings when you put it on
-made my skin peel off
-made me look like i had worse acne than i do as it made the area around the pimple red
-caused my skin to be very very dry
-made the zit last longer because my face was so raw

I'm not usually one to complain but this spot treatment ruined my skin for about two weeks even after I stopped using it. The decreased pimple size doesn't even matter because first of all it takes so long to actually happen and secondly it aggravated my skin so much that even after the pimple went away on its own i still had a large red area where it had been. If i hadn't put this stuff on it all the zits would be gone by now. I hat ego say it but this product is really not worth it.

Pros:

- clears breakouts fast
- easy to apply
- doesn't dry out skin too much

Cons:

- Expensive
- Doesn't clear bigger breakouts
- Doesn't prevent breakouts
- Small package

I used this for two months and it worked at first but as I used it and expected it to work more it just didn't. I has quick results, but doesn't completely clear anything. I applied several times a day, and it didn't dry me out. It works fast. I'd recommend it to someone with very light acne and very little breakouts, maybe someone with light. It doesn't work much with more severe acne.

Pros:

its alright. it helps with my little red bumps on my chest. works best only on really small bumps or pimples

Cons:

didnt really do much. and its expensive for that little thing.

i kind of recommend it. kind of don't. if you big pimples then no. it wont do anything but if you have alot small bumps, then sure give it a try. also, i got this spot treatment in the Clean And Clear acne kit...so i didnt know how much it rally was until i ran out and had to get it seperatly and it was their for about $5.00

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.

Pros:

Dramatically reduces size of spots, even big angry ones
Smells nice
does the job basically

Cons:

none really...expensive for a small tube? worth it though really.

Been using this for years and I can always rely on it as an on the spot treatment. if you feel a big spot coming on(i get some pretty large cystic ones) or you've got a problem area, stick this on before you go to bed and by the morning it will have helped a lot. It dries out the spots and reduces swelling without drying out the skin. Not a fan of the clean & clear products, not had much luck with their cleansers or moisteurisers, but this stuff is a great product.
