Pros:

easy to spread over the skin, doesnt dry my skin out, works fast and lasts all day.

Cons:

very expensive, $266.00 but my insurance covered it. it also made my skin a little tight and dried out, but nothing serious.

i use this product in the morning, on my face and on my chest acne after a benzoyl peroxide wash (benziq). then i use a salcylic acid wash at night with differin, and that keeps my face acne free and in good shape. i get some mild breakouts sometimes, but nothing severe that is any worry.

Pros:

-Works pretty fast
-See results
-Nice tingling feeling

Cons:

-Dries out skin

My dermatologist recommended it for me, because I have pretty bad acne on my forehead. My forehead has always been covered with bumps, and now after using this product for about 5 days, once in the morning, once at night, I have noticed that the bumps have gone down. I still see redness, but my forehead is no longer covered in bumps. I do have really REALLY dry skin, and this has dried my skin out considerably, so I have to use a moisturizer. But otherwise, it's pretty good.

Pros:

So it totally helped the quality of my skin overall. breakouts are much less severe. generally doesnt affect how dry my skin is, or oily. very easy, and effective.

Cons:

EXPENSIVE. Also, it doesnt make acne completely disappear, just keeps it mild.

It is a great product, but i would use it with another product for more effective results (I use tazorac, they work well together!)

Pros:

Works great for me. didn't dry out skin, keeps me from getting large breakouts

Cons:

expensive if you don't have insurance

This has really helped to keep my face clear. I quickly clears up the few little spots I get. After being on Accutane for 8 months this is better to use since it doesn't dry me out as bad as the Accutane

Pros:

Great product!

Cons:

if you don't have insurance this is rediculously priced, but my insurance covered most of it and I paid like 30 bucks.

Pros:

It pretty much worked over night for me. Over a week or so a lot of my acne was gone.

Cons:

Although it cleared up MOST of my acne it doesn't really clear up ALL of it. I still got occasional whiteheads and blackheads. And it actually stops working after a while for me.

Porbably the best solution for my mild acne I had ever used. Although it will dry up the face a little bit if you use too much, but its definitely worth it. Easy to apply, goes on smooth. It will bring down the growth of acne after a few days, or even one night. HOWEVER, it's biggest drawback is that it stopped working after a prolongged period of time! I can't confirm if it varies from person-to-person, but it stopped owrking on my skin, as if my acne became resistant to it. If you have very mild acne, this is definitely recommended.

Pros:

Dries quickly, works incredibly well. Gets rid of big pimples on my scalp and around my mouth, as well as on my back.

Cons:

Mostly the price. Also, it prevents inflammation, but not pore clogging, so I found that I had some small blackheads, which I had never had before.

Absolutely the best and only solution that worked for me.

Pros:

It can almost immediately clear a break out and can be put on at anytime of the day.

Cons:

It isn't really the best long time solution for me because it stopped for me and if ussually takes over 2 weeks for it to even to kick in.

Not the best medicine out there. Not worth the money. Only use if you're running out of better options.

Pros:

So far I have been using this product for about over a week, and it has been clearing up my acne causing smoother skin and less breakouts.

Cons:

I don't kno if i am applying it correctly and I dont kno how long it is supposed to take to actually effectively change my skin.

Give it a shot if you have insurance

Pros:

I can't believe how well it worked! Reduced redness by nearly 50%. Helps with existing pimples as well as wards off new ones.

Cons:

A bit of a burning feeling and my face did get red but settled down within minutes.

I am a late in life acne sufferer and was facing the whole Accutane "do I or don't I" question. I was basically running out of options. My doc gave me a sample of this miracle in a can and gave me hope. If you are given this treatment as an option, take it. If you aren't ask for it. It really works.
