Pros:

Lessens redness
Seems to encourage spots to 'scab off' quicker
Good for healing quickly if you've popped a spot

Cons:

I don't like the consistency - very sticky and thick
I'm not sure if it makes blackheads worse as the texture seems like it's pore clogging
Would be better and more hygienic in a pump dispensing container, for example

Does seem to work well but don't expect miracles. Like others have said - you can't use it when you're going out because of the whiteness. I'm not sure if a lot of what makes it seem to work so well is just the 'white stain' effect which makes any skin look less red...

Pros:

Reduces redness of pimples, reduces them, more effective than marketed so-called "pimple fighting" products.

Cons:

Very white and thick, so only use at night time. Tub is a bit messy and unhygienic.

Effective as a spot treatment (I haven't used it all over as I don't have that many pimples anymore). I used this over Benzac 2.5% cream and I was clear within 2 weeks. It's dirt cheap so give it a go, you have nothing to loose.

Pros:

I love this product!
I've suffered from puberty acne for four years and this product aids healing and moisturises my skin.

Cons:

This product could only be worn overnight. This is because i have dark skin!

Buy it-wear it as an overnight mark. It good value for money.

Pros:

Cheap, easy to use, works good for red spots

Cons:

Feels oily, you tend to use more than you need. Just a little bit is enough...otherwise it might clog the pores, not suitable for wearing in public.

I mainly use this product when I squeezed pimples and blackheads to reduce the swelling and redness. Really works. I put this on overnight, or day (like now, I don't have to go out anyway). It doesn't seem to clog pores and I just think it's a great product. I also think, since it is made for babies it is not loaded with chemicals like over the counter products.

Pros:

Doesn't clear up acne completely, but it does make it better. Just smooth it on before you go to bed, or if you're not going outside the house (it's really thick and white - you'll look shocking!) and use a headband to keep your hair out of it.

Cons:

Really thick and white and comes off onto your hair, clothes and bedsheets. Can't use it outside the house.

Great for calming your skin right down. You should exfoliate to get it all off afterwards, and then touch your skin and feel how incredibly soft it is. Even if you find it doesn't work amazingly on the acne, it can be used easily in conjunction with other products (I use it alongside salicylic acid and a gentle facial scrub), and it moisturises beautifully to boot! Great stuff.

Pros:

Cheap enough to use over large areas eg back, face etc, benign enough to use regularly (proven on babies bums!), effectiveness does not decay, no prescription

Cons:

Needs to be worn a face mask strength overnight for a few nights while spots are bad.

Definitely not placebo effect as suggested by some, although side benefit can be a well moisturised skin. I would recommend this product.

Pros:

Works fantastically every time. Clears up spots over night.

Cons:

To white.

One of the best face products Ive ever used. Its cheap. Apply on at night generously and spots should be gone by morning. Apply in a small amount three times each day.
