Pros:

+It prevents breakouts
+It feels cool and refreshing on your skin
+It prevents your skin from getting too oily

Cons:

-If you have sensitive skin, it may irritate your skin
-It doesn't get rid of current breakouts

It works well at preventing breakouts, but it does nothing for current ones. It keeps oily skin matte and clean throughout the day.

Pros:

>PREVENTS pimples after regular use
>Moisturized well (for me)
>Smells great and has a nice cooling sensation

Cons:

>Doesn't actually kill existing pimples
>The menthol (cooling agent) can be irritating to some with sensitive skin (not my case).

Well considering this is a cheap ($5.00) drugstore moisturizer, it's amazing. Even though it does not kill existing pimples, it definitly prevents them. The .5% s. acid is just enough to give your skin an acidity that acne can not grow in but is not enough to cause irritation. PREVENTION in my opinion, should be the main objective when fighting acne.This product did that for me so...i give it a 2 thumbs up! Just as a reference my regimen consists of, MORNING (I take a Iodine-Free Multivitamin) >Wash face with CeraVe cleanser in shower >Apply the Dual action moisturizer >After 5 minutes, I apply a little Aloe NIGHT >Wash face with CeraVe >Apply Alpha Hydrox 10% AHA lotion >Apply a little Aloe <<helps speed healing

Pros:

the moisturizer tingles when applied, leaving my skin feeling very clean.

Cons:

slow at preventing breakouts/acne

I suffer from moderate acne and dry skin. I like this product because it leaves my skin feeling very clean. I noticed that others were saying that it stings when applied, it didnt sting my face atoll. I am from the UK so i payed £3.50 for this product.

Pros:

Good Price for what you get. Overall a good deal. Lasts a long time.

Cons:

4% salicylic acid is too strong and makes my skin red and weird. Don't think it works for acne, but skin looks fantastic!

I mix a tiny bit of it with olay sensitive skin lotion and it works wonders! I hated it at first until I did some research and found that the salicylic acid concentration was too high.

i dont have bad acne so i'm not sure about that part, but it barely moisturizes, but it does make your cheeks red. maybe thats from irritation :)
