Pros:

Fairly fast and effective results. Side-effects are small and manageable, definitely worth it.

Cons:

Skin feels tight first couple of weeks of usage, also gets dry and flaky occasionally. Itchiness and redness occurs if you stop using it for a couple days.

I saw noticeable results after a few weeks, best acne treatment I've tried. I haven't used it in a month though, and the pimples are coming back.

Pros:

Worked. Plain and simple. Got rid of my junk.

Cons:

No, cons so far. But, I've been reading the comments and people say it comes back if you stop...that sucks. I haven't stopped so can't tell.

Good stuff that got rid of my acne. Although, my face wasn't really that bad. Just small stuff that i couldn't get rid of but the gel worked. Sucks if you don't have insurance though. Cost me $40.oo.

Pros:

Very cheap, easy to use, doesnt bother the skin

Cons:

All the warnings make me kind of scared. IE: bleaching, flaky skin

I have been using it for a couple days and so far so good, im pretty pleased with the results. Keep in mind i didnt have that terrible of acne but I'm using proactive aswell as this and it seems to be keep everything under control. Hopefully it keeps up! Good luck, I realize acne can be a really big pain.

Pros:

Easy to use, always available, can be used with other acne treatments.

Cons:

My acne got worse, it bleached the hair that it touched at my hairline and my pillowcase.

Its worth the try, its not only affordable but some people have found it extremely effective. Its not painful and there are no side-effects. You can continue using your daily cleanser and moisturizer and it has no effect on your birth control. It didn't work for me, but it could work for you, and that's why I recommended it. Although it was ineffective for me, it could work for you.

I applied this gel today and i dont know how well it is going to work. Hopfully it will work . But the doctor said if not, then come back and i am going to take it in the pill form and do laser acne treatment.

Pros:

Cleared up my minor to moderate acne fairly quickly. I've been using it for 3 months and I love it!

Cons:

I was crying one night in bed and when I woke up, I realized that it bleached my new pillow case! I also experienced some dryness in the beginning.

I recommend using Complex 15 ceram for oily skin. It's very thin and gentle and it works wonders. My acne seems to come back a bit at that time of the month but Clindoxyl keeps it under control. This is the best product i've used. I've tried Proactiv for a long time, I've tried aloe vera gel, and I've tried Steivamycin which was NOT for my skin type(how frusturating!) I love this!
