Pros:

Works; Reduces Pimple Size and Redness
Comfortable
Not visible

Cons:

A little pricy

It dries out the skin a bit, but nothing too serious. Its a bit pricy (about 5$) for a small little tube, but it works and its my miracle cure for pimples that I've been searching for a long time. I use Clean and Clear cleanser and then use this overnight on whatever visible pimples i have. If there are any still in the morning, I put some more on. Pretty simple.

Pros:

dries out/shrinks active breakouts
no offensive odor
can be used anywhere, non irritating

Cons:

expensive
tricky to use with makeup, especially if you use powder/mineral foundation

OK, i've been using this product for years on and off. for a while i was using the acne.org regimen system and that was a disaster. then i discovered that ADULT acne is NOT the same as teen acne, and does not respond to certain acne medicines, who knew? so i used to have *very* severe cystic acne. i tried a bunch of other systems including proactive, they all made it worse. this product seemed to be the only thing that was doing any good, so i stopped all other products and began pretty much dousing my face in salicylic acid. i apply this very generously, and i also use it on my shoulders/back/chest. i couple it with L'Oreal 360 anti breakout with an extra dose of salicylic acid. this actually isn't as drying as i'd like it to be. i have *EXTREMELY* oily skin, and i go hardcore with this stuff twice a day and my skin has never felt dry.

Cons:

it stings a bit

i been using this for a few weeks and it does help,.,in three days it makes the pimple dry up and it gets so much smaller ,.,the down side is that when u first start putting it, it leaves it red ,.,.i mean u can cover it with makeup but its still kind off annoying ,.,either way its a great product =]

Pros:

-Clears acne dramatically
-The sting tells you it works
-Does not leave residue
-Sanitary packaging
-Will last long than you think

Cons:

-Tends to dry out skin
-Applying too much will result in needing to wash it off

I have acne prone skin, T-zone gets really oily, the rest of my face is somewhat dry. Strange huh? My friend introduced with to me. Worked wonders, but DO AN ALLERGY TEST on your arm, I think the other reviewers were allergic? Who knows. This doesn't work for EVERYONE, so make sure you are able to return the product to where ever you bought it from! Good luck everyone :)

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:

- Smells Nice
- Feels cooling to the skin
- Not expensive ( the price stated is in ringgit, to find USD just divide it by 3.5 )
- Easy to apply

Cons:

- Noticed that it stopped working after a few days of success

I bought this product cuz I was trying to find a pimple gel/cream other than Benzoyl Peroxide. When I used it the first day, I saw very fast results where my pimples shrunk the next day I woke up. After a few days, I kept on using it. Then I notice that it suddenly stings. ( It was cooling the first time I used it ) I have been using for 2 weeks and will be planning to use it until the product finishes. If it doesn't work, then I would say that it would have not worked on my skin. But remember, if it doesn't work on mine, it might work for you. =D

Pros:

Works quickly
Smells fruity
You can feel it working
Lasts a long time

Cons:

Loses effectiveness over a period of time
Sticky
bleaches everything.

I've used this along with the rest of the clean and clear advantage kit for about a year. I've tried loads of things, and i always come back to this, because though it doesn't eliminate all my acne, it definitely improves it over anything else i've used. it's mild, and doesn't make my skin burn, peel, or feel like it's on fire. it seems to work almost over night, and when you wake up, your blemishes appear to have calmed down. it's worth the cheap price, and is probably the most effective treatment you can buy in the stores.
