Pros:

easy to apply, when dries, easy to put make-up over, does not leave you overly dry or oily.

Cons:

stung for the first week or two, but i have adjusted

I have tried soloyn and many other prescriptions and topicals but none have been as this spot treatment, which i use as an all over topical on a nightly basis. works fantastics with the clean and clear advantage acne control moisturizer, which comes in a kit with the spot treatment. sorry to see so much negative feedback

Pros:

Advantage spot treatment works very quickly to dry out the skin and reduce the size of pimples.

Cons:

As it dries out skin, it leaves red spots on the face.

Choose this product if you'd rather have dry skin and red marks. I'm really worried about how long the redness is going to last on my face. That's the price to pay to reduce pimple size in using this product.

Pros:

doesn't smell bad. clear.

Cons:

dries out skin waay too much. now i have reddish spots on my face, not pimples, but theyve been there over a month.

didnt work for me.

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:

Best over the counter product on the market for preventing pimples from forming. It's available everywhere

Cons:

May dry out skin, I recommend moisturizing a few minutes before applying

Great for prevention and moderately effective on existing pimples

Pros:

By applying it many times a day on one blemish, it seems to dry out the area enough to heal it.

Cons:

Has to be applied 3-4 times a day to live up to its promises.

If you have the time to fret about small areas of concern all day (not judging, I'm guilty of it too), this product should help even the oiliest of complextions.

Pros:

It does make a pimple smaller and prevents them from breaking out or getting worst. It works overnight... as it claims. it makes it a bit smaller.

Cons:

very very drying. I have normal skin, not oily and not dry and yet it can leave me peeling.

It is really useful, but the sting can be a bit painful sometimes. It's just really really drying. it makes your skin peel like crazy. and moisturizers don't seem to work.

Pros:

It did work at first.

Cons:

It burns, and the spot was really red afterwards.

Dont use it, I recommend prescription SOLYDYN my dermatologist gave it to me and it works.
