Pros:

kind of helps it go away quicker.

Cons:

dries out your face very, very easily.

If you are going to use this product, all you need is a very tiny dab of it. If you put on too much on sensitive skin like I did, it is going to be a nightmare. This product ended up giving me a chemical burn on my face, and it took months for it to clear up, as it became very prone to breakouts in that one spot.

Pros:

if you use it in small amounts JUST on the spots it will reduce the redness and the size of your pimple. The best time is to use it before you go to bed.

Cons:

it leaves a filmy residue so i wouldnt wear it under makeup...maybe a very very tiny dot.

its a good spot treatment, worth the try I saw that someone wrote that water helps this product work..im sure it does but water will help any product work it cleans out your system and clears your complexion. DRINK TONS OF WATER! I always notice a great difference when i drink lots of water

Pros:

Works on whiteheads & tiny pimples. Smells alright.

Cons:

Doesnt work on huge, angry acne. Tend to dry up the skin around the zits, causing irritations & flakiness.

Quite expensive for a small tube. It takes at least 4-5 days to reduce redness & swelling, not 24 hrs as stated in the packaging.

Pros:

it works on small pimples like whiteheads, but sometimes it burns the little suckers

Cons:

it doesnt work on cysts

the smell is okay. it tends to leave a film on your skin, so when it dries, try not to touch your face or else it flakes off and then you'll have to reapply it. it does absolutely nothing to a cyst. a bit pricey for a small tube, but it is a SPOT treatment. it occasionally will burn on new, itty-bitty baby whiteheads (and i dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing)

This product is excellent in the since that it does dry pimples up fast, the negative effect is if you apply to much around the pimple instead of just on the pimple, it will dry your skin. It does leave your skin red for awhile I use it at night for it does not work well under make-up. If you use this product with a moisturizer, and an exfoliator once a week, I think you will be happy with this product.

Pros:

It worked really well on reducing the size of a nodule I had on one side of my nose(it was huge and painful!).

Cons:

I dont like the smell and look of it and its a bit sticky.

I love it.Works great on stubborn pimples.

Pros:

Good when used with other products. Can be used as a really good cleanser.

Cons:

You have to use it in the correct manner or you won't have any noticable reduction of acne.

This is a good product compared to other clean and clear products. Any salcyclic acid product is like this in that it is a slow peel and can give you red and flaky skin. Slow peeling is part of how it works to remove comodones. You can use other products to control flakyness such as Retin A to remove the flakes or on the other hand moisturizer to keep them stuck to your skin, which usually negates the effectiveness of the product.

Pros:

This product really did reduce the size, redness, and swelling of my pimples. I would much rather use this than clean and clear persagel that dries out my skin and didnt clear it up. Not too noticeable

buy it, this product works... i think it depends though, on your skin- i have fair skin
