Pros:

Works fast, No smell, Easy to apply

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics, Dries skin

Only been using for a week, already seen improvement (mostly in whiteheads), seems to lighten marks from old pimples, not too drying so far, covered by most extended health care plans.

Pros:

-Worked unbelievably quick, cleared up acne substantially, easy to apply, affordable (with health plan), not overdrying (for me), no initial breakout (again, for me).

Cons:

Comes in a pretty small tube, but you apply it sparingly anyways so no big deal really. Does have a 4 month expiry date, which is kind of short i suppose (and probably explains the small size of the tube).

After having relatively clear skin for the first 20 years of my life, i suddenly broke out about a year ago, primarily on my forehead and back. Initially i tried your basic Neutrogena SA wash with little success. I then moved on to other brands (still using SA), added exfoliants, gentle cleansers, fish oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, you name it. I even drastically cut my dairy intake (instead drinking soy milk) and stopped taking supplements (for weightlifting), multivitamins, etc. I should also mention that i tried a BP cleanser for approximately one month with little success. Fed up, i finally went to see a Dr. (not a derm, my city has none). He took one look at me and prescribed me Clindoxyl and tretracyline (oral antibiotic). My skin started clearing up after 3 days and is now probably 90% improved after only 1 week. I cleanse with teraseptic (which is pretty harsh, fyi) twice a day then apply clindoxyl, that and taking the tetracyline twice a day as well.

Pros:

Cleared up acne on my face instantly. It is clear (and not a white cream) so you can apply it in the morning as well as at night time. I've only used it twice so far and I already see a huge difference.

Cons:

It can be pricey is you don't have health insurance. Original price was about $55.00.

I would highly reccommend this product. I have tried endlessly to get rid of my acne (on my face) and it just kept coming up. This product is quick and effective.

Pros:

It cleared up the fresh breakout pretty quickly and over a few weeks got rid of some older marks. My skin gets less oily during the day now too!

Cons:

My skin can look quite red some days but it's nothing that a little powder can't fix.

My skin still isn't perfect but it is a lot easier to manage and to make it look good. I have to use less makeup now and my skin feels cleaner all day. Get it!

Pros:

worked quickly - face cleared up in about 3 days. Haven't had a breakout since using the gel. Goes on clear

Cons:

dries out your skin, but using a good moisturizer will prevent that

Worked well for me. Had tried ProActiv, didn't work.

Pros:

It cleared my skin after a week!

Cons:

skin might be dry

It works, but for people that have really bad acne it might take a while. Do NOT apply it in the day because ur skin might become more darker or hyperpigmented.

Pros:

didnt cost anything insuranceeeeeee!:D

Cons:

i dunno didnt see much of a difference yet

I just got this product from the doctor yesterday and I hope it works. She told me not to use it on my whol entire face the first night. She said to put the cream on just my chin and work my way each night towards covering my whole face. So I don't think you're supposed to use the cream on your whole face at once cause it could aggrevate ur skin and make it red. Peace!
