Pros:

Keeps acne under control
Minimal Breakouts

Cons:

Has to be used continuously
Doesn't moisturize very much

This product is great at helping keep Acne away, but the Salicylic Acid tends to impair the moisturizing capabilities a little. You can get the generic Target brand for a little less. I sometimes get flaky skin while using it, but nowhere near as bad if I didn't use anything at all. So far, it is the best I have found.

Pros:

-moisturizes really well
-tingly cool feeling

Cons:

-doesn't get rid of acne

It's a good moisturizer but it doesn't do anything for acne. I still use it because it doesn't worsen my acne.

Pros:

Nice cooling effect. Didn't clog any pores. Didn't aggravate acne.

Cons:

Left a bit of film. Didn't moisturize well enough to be called a moisturizer. It stung a little, and it didn't really do anything for my acne, either.

I remember using this for a bit in high school, and I thought it helped a little, but then my skin started getting drier and drier. I got another bottle recently, since it's cheap, and I was experimenting again. I only have mild acne, and it didn't work for me. I wasn't happy with it at all, so I gave it to my bf's little sister, who had recently gone off some kind of acne medication (I don't know which one). It seemed to work perfectly for her, even better than her prescription! I personally wasn't satisfied with the product, but I could recommend it to others after seeing this.

Pros:

I love this product! In the past, I was unable to find moisturizers that wouldn't cause me to break out, no matter what the labels said. But this moisturizer works great, has a more than tolerable fragrance, and helps my acne!

Cons:

Almost none! Unlike some people, I haven't had issues with my skin looking oily when using this product. The only thing some people might not like is that it doesn't show immediate results. However, using it regularly I've noticed a HUGE difference.

Use it. It works great, and it's CHEAP. I've only been using it about 2 1/2 weeks and I can see a big difference. However, I've been using this product in addition to Oxy daily wash (also works like a charm) so, my results may be partly thanks to that. But the Oxy facewash dries out my skin, so it's perfect to have this moisturizer to use that I can be sure won't clog my pores and cause breakouts... just the opposite!

Pros:

-Really makes flakes and dryness disappear
-Very good consistency
-Inexpensive
-Does not leave your skin greasey
-does TWO jobs, moisturises and fights back spots

Cons:

-Quite difficult to work into the skin
-If not completely absorbed in the skin, can leave residue making your face appear oily.

I love this product. It really helps with your acne and really lives up to its promise. As I said, it is quite difficult to work into the skin, but i find it helpful to move the fingers I am using in a circular motion, anticlockwise and clockwise. I am also very impressed by its dual-action which does as it says on the container. This product does have a bland kind of smell, like petroleum jelly. I would recommend this because it effectively gets rid of flaking and dry skin. Trust me, I've used it for 2 years.

Pros:

It leaves skin soft, helps to slightly reduce acne

Cons:

caused more acne in areas around the place you put it, like if you had only one pimple and put it on that area that pimple might be gone the next day but there are more surrounding pimples.

I've had mine for a while and haven't ran out. I think this is overal an okay product. After using BP, skin is dry and flaky. This mosturizer makes that area soft and baby smooth. Acne is still there, but your skin is soft. I would use this product combine with others.

Pros:

mosturizes very well.
its good to use under makeup.
does not make acne worse.
helps prevent new acne.
has a nice scent.

Cons:

not really any acept the pump on mine got stuck a couple of times.

This is a very good mosturizes for people with acne. My acne medicatoin (10% bp) was making my face very dry. This product eliminated that problem. My face felt nice and smooth. It also helps prevent new acne from forming.

Pros:

-very light
-perfect amount of moisture
-nice smell
-cooling sensation
-prevents acne
-non greasy

Cons:

-no spf
-a bit drying in the winter

This is my night moisturizer. I stopped using BP, because it was making my skin so dry. After I wash my face and use a gentle alcohol-free toner, I apply this and that's it! I only use it at night because it doesn't have SPF and it can be a bit drying under makeup.

Pros:

First time you use it it feels great, it's clean and light. It really helps if you have mild acne and the smell is really fresh.

Cons:

Even though it helped me a lot after a year or so of using the product I was immune to it. And it just started to become a mositurizer and did not help my acne. I've tried using it as a spot treatment and did not really work afterwards.

If you want something that takes you acne away for a short time, this would be the product for you and it feels great. But know everyone's skin type is different so your results could turn out better then mine.
