Pros:

Cheap & effective

Cons:

None so far

I have wasted sooooo much cash on stuff that did nothing for my acne(it came about a year after I had a baby and has not stopped). So I was reading about home remedies for acne, came across this, tried it (what have you got to lose, a buck?). You can feel it working. I'm never using anything else.

Pros:

Works so fast, immediately took away the redness and pain. I noticed a huge difference the first morning, and every morning it keeps getting better!

Cons:

Over-drying.

I was so desperate because my pregnancy acne was really out of control, and I don't have any options when it comes to medications. My face was in so much pain (I have never had acne before my pregnancy) and I was just so embarrassed, I didn't want to step outside. I saw it sitting in the medicine cabinet and decided, why not give that a try? The next morning, I couldn't believe how much my face improved. This is the last acne medication I will ever buy!

Pros:

dries up pimples

Cons:

overdries non-pimpled skin

use sparingly on active pimples and it works well to try them out. Don't get the caladryl - use ganuine calamine lotion.

This page seemed harder to find the second time around; and I came back to report my progress after about two months or so. The result has been pleasant, but it does not deserve as much hype as I previously gave it. Don't get it wrong; this is a great product that has greatly enhanced my backne problem, going from pretty bad to much better (as if that serves as any indication...) Bottom line holds that with some OXY Maximum Daily Wash 10% used in the shower followed by a moderate layer of calamin lotion, it works.
