Pros:

- works quickly to prevent pimples
- started to clear my skin within 2 weeks
- inexpensive
- prevents any new pimples from growing

Cons:

- can be very drying if not used with a good moisturizer

Really awesome when used properly. I have been using this for a few months now and i have never been so happy with my skin! start off on a tiny amount at a time to prevent extreme drying so that your skin can take to the product and so that you know if your skin can handle it. All in all a great product

Pros:

Cleared some of my pimples
Reduces redness

Cons:

Dries your skin (I recommend using Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion)
Stings at first
In the first week I got new pimples at places I usually wouldn't get (jawline, neck and back)

This has cleared my acne along with the face wash from Neutrogena (Acne Stress Control Power Cream Wash - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT). I found that dabbing the cream onto the pimples worked best. Also, spread some on your face even if there aren't pimples in that area, because once your pimple disappears it will move somewhere else! After the cream dries I usually dab another dot onto the pimple. After that the pimple usually disappears within 2 days.

Pros:

- clears skin within 2 weeks of use
- gets rid of up coming breakouts very quickly
- prevets breakouts

Cons:

- dries put skin especially around the nose area

This is a great product i love what it has done for my skin it is clean and clear. This is great for people with moderate or light acne. Start using in very small amounts so that your skin doesnt over react

Pros:

I had moderate acne on my face and this product pretty much cleared it all. It's also very easy to apply on the skin. It is neutrally scented.

Cons:

It took more than 3 months to take real effect. During those 3 months I experienced several breakouts that did die out rather quickly. It also left my skin dry for almost a month after starting the treatment.

I would say this is an effective way of getting rid of mild to moderate acne in small areas. You should give it a try but don't expect to get instant results.

Pros:

Prevents new spots forming and quickens the fading of old ones. Quite cheap.

Cons:

Takes a while to adjust to. Smell is not very nice. Makes skin very dry and flaky - not smooth at ALL! Also, takes a while for the redness to subside making it not ideal for those of us who appreciate FAST mornings.

Good if you don't mind the side effects. Get ready to splurge on the moisturizer!!

Pros:

Like the large tube, I keep it on the shelf in my shower. I like the creaminess also. Seems to be working really well, my skin is almost completely clear.

Cons:

Lol, hating the bleaching factor for my towels, I had to switch to white. My skin is dry but not horribly so.

It took me a few days to get into my regime of the was, the lotion, duac, and then actually remembering to put on moisturizer. I only use this in the AM (using retin A Micro at night) but so far I like it. I do use a makeup remover first cause I don't want it near my eyes. I think as long as you use a good moisturizer it's relatively easy.

Pros:

Within a couple of days of using this product I had no new spots forming and the old ones had begun to fade so it worked very quickly

Cons:

It dries the skin and used it morning and evening for three days and woke up in the morning with a VERY puffed up face. It said on the leaflet that it can cause temporary facial swelling though and I wasn't going out that day for which I'm very glad.

The product definitely works, but if you only have mild to moderate acne then be careful that you don't use too much. I think once every other night will be enough for me as I'm still trying to exfoliate all this dry skin off lol
