Pros:

Works fast, reduces swelling and size of acne. Speeds healing. Fantasitc for deep, inflamed, painful acne.

Cons:

Smells bad. Tarnishes silver jewelery/rings if it gets near it (take off first). The liquid part tends to evaporate, disappear before the healing sediments are used up. Pink and obvious on face so pretty much have to stick to bedtime use.

I am so glad I discovered this treatment. I get the occasional deep, hard, painful nodule as well as inflamed clogged pores and this really makes a difference on both. This stuff works fast, overnight you see a difference. The alcohol/liquid part was gone quickly though...while I had plenty of the pink part left...I added some alcohol to replenish but I don't think it worked so well after that.

Pros:

It really works

Cons:

smells a little wierd

My friend told me about it, so I tried it. It's works really good, so my advice is to make sure you cover only the affected area with the lotion. I personally like the little glass jar that that has a brown powder in it. The jar contains a medication that covers your zits and hides them at the same it. It kind of looks like a brown powder. It works really good because it helps cover up your zits so they aren't so noticeable.

Pros:

Dries pimples very fast.

Cons:

The smell is a little tough to take.
It can leave red spots on the skin after the pimple is gone.

It's worked pretty well for me. It dries pimples fast and it brings cysts to a head very fast. It's great for "killing" pimples in a day or two.

This is a awome product to get rid off the occasional zit and it would of been perfect if only that after using it for a long time i became immune to it an it no longer was as effective as the first time i tried it. prolly in my opinion its the strongest product sold in over the counter stores an most effective so far, i recommend it!

Pros:

Makes the acne less sore, gets rid of it within 4 days

Cons:

Nasty red marks, drying, expensive

This spot treatment can get rid of the acne in 4 days max but can leave a dark red mark on the skin that takes forever to heal...I've actually still have a faint red mark from using it. Its relatively expesive for such a small bottle and mine clouded due to dipping hte q-tip in the liquid so many times and the pink sediment was mixed into the liquid. Its not a repurchase for me due to it being way too drying but will consider going back to it.

Pros:

Works quite nicely! Very cheap for the good it does!

Cons:

It does dry out the skin, so I recommend an oil or oil-based product for a moisturizer. Must have q-tips to use.

I would recommend this to all my friends and none of my enemies.

Pros:

Great to use both during the day and at night.
No sun sensitivity; Clears acne up in about 2 uses
Uses a combination of salicylic acid and sulfur.

Cons:

Smells of strong alcohol
DO NOT SHAKE!!
Applicator is not included, must use a Q-Tip

This is a great alternative to Benzoyl Peroxide that will clear problematic zits up in a couple of uses. The sulfur won't bother particularly sensitive skin either.

Pros:

Non that I can think of

Cons:

Everything about the product, it is basically useless.
It has a repulsive smell, dries your skin excessively and certainly does not make my spots go away. If anything it made my forehead worse.

After reading the majority of the reviews on this site about this product basically being a miracle worker, I invested my £10 to see if it could get rid of the light acne I currently have. I can say I wished I never bothered, as after a week I have seen no benefits from this product. I could argue that it has made my forehead worse as after two days of using the product at least 6 new spots appeared, notably around where I was using the product. It has made my face smell like sulfur, which is hard to cover. I will note that I have greasy skin, this product excessively dried out the skin, even more than benzoyl peroxide I was previously using. I would not recommend this product personally, it must however work for some people due to the large amount of good reviews it has received. I will say that I am going back to using benzoyl peroxide 5% gel, which in my case is 100% more effective than this product

Pros:

None

Cons:

Expensive
Didn't work
Dried out my skin

I bought this based on the positive reviews on this site, but it was one of the worst investments I've made. It cost way too much, I got it for 10 dollars for a little bottle. Second, the sulfur seperates from the alcohol, and the jar says that you shouldn't mix them together. In the end, you're just putting alcohol on your face. Not to mention it really stung when I applied it. The next day I was excited to see the results when I realized there were none. My pimples looked just as red and swollen as before. I used it for a week, and I never saw any improvement, so I quit using it. There's ten dollars that I threw down the drain. Since then I've gone back the Proactiv's refining mask, it's the only Proactiv product that I like. So if you're thinking of using BBB, I would recommend going to the mall and getting the refining mask since it is more gentle, doesn't sting, and is much more effective and all around a better product.

Pros:

None...

Cons:

Very damaging to the skin... it doesn't get rid of the pimple at all... it might seem like it did but it actually makes it redder n bigger because it irritates your skin

Don't waste your money on this crap.
