Pros:

It works!
It dries very quickly and is easy to use

Cons:

none so far!!

This stuff works! It does all of the work for me. It's paired with other acne perscriptions but it has obviously helped to dry out my acne. I would recomend using a good oil-free moisturizer though!!! m/ ( >.< ) m/

Pros:

It makes the larger zits (like cysts) shrink overnight and the smaller ones vanish. I am still in awe.

Cons:

Dryness like others have said, but it's getting better. Other than dryness there are no problems for ME to use it to get rid of these zits!

Use it-it works! I love it because I am wearing less makeup and my self esteem is much better. I had zits in HS, but I am 30 now and had no idea where this adult acne came from, so I used it and BAM-it's great! I thought I would have "to grow out of it" like people were telling me, but that was not an acceptable answer for me! I'm the type of person that wants something to happen overnight and this pretty much did the trick. I was completely broken out on my chin and forehead on a Thursday and on the Monday after my face was 90% cleared. I am SO happy!

Pros:

Worksgreat,I am 32and this is the only thing that has every cleared up my skin and has kept it that way for over a year.

Cons:

Pretty expensive and the insurance hassles you after a while as to why you need to use it for an extended period of time.

It's worth it! $186 w/o insurance and $20 w/insurance.

Pros:

Works really fast...my flare ups were practically gone overnight!

Cons:

Bleaches your towels so be sure to wash your hands really well after applying. I only sleep on white pillow cases now that I'm using the cream, otherwise it will bleach your sheets.

Love it!! I don't have chronic "acne", I just had my dermatologist prescribe me a medication as I tend to get flare ups when I'm stressed out. I'm getting married in 2 months and I don't want to have to worry about having a pimple on my wedding day! This stuff works great, I would recommend it to anyone

Pros:

My skin started to clear almost over night. It is so smooth too. Retin A and Differin didn't make my skin this smooth.

Cons:

I am taking it with Minocyclin and am feeling a little nausiated, but I think it is all the Minocyclin.

I would give it a try.

Pros:

It works fast, and effectively, making my skin smooth, and clear within a week

Cons:

Makes skin a little dry, but that's why it works.

If you want to get rid of very bad acne, this is the way to go. My skin is perfect, I don't have to wear make up, I don't have to avoid seeing my friends, I'm more confident. It's perfect!

Pros:

It definitely works for me. I tread everything from Murad to Proactive. But those products totally irritate my skin and makes it even worse.

Cons:

Like another person mentioned my skin starts to break out again after I stop using it for about a month. Does not work well with Moisturizer with SPF sunscreen.

This is no wonder cream that completely stops you from getting acne/pimples. HOWEVER, it controls the severity. I ocassionally get some pimples. That depends on what I eat. The cream prevents the pimple/acne from looking really nasty. And it usually gets rid of it within a couple of days. I use it with Clearisil 2% Salicyc face wash and Cetaphil moisturizer. And I use it with mineral powder makeup.
