Pros:

-cleared acne bumps overnight
-smoothed out skin
-prevents new acne breakouts

Cons:

-can sometimes leave skin a bit dry

This is the best acne cream I've found. I've had moderate acne for at least 10 years, especially around my chin and after a few weeks I've noticed a dramatic decrease in new pimples, and it cleared up the current ones right away.

Pros:

-One of those products that really works overnight.
-Works on spots coming up but not reached the surface yet
-Nice consistency

Cons:

-If I applied too much it was a bit drying
-Caused redness around spots to increase so I use it just at night

I decided to review this today because I had a major breakout 4 days ago that I had picked at in frustration :( big bumps and bad redness that weren't even covered by foundation and concealor. I didn't even want anyone to see my face. Today the redness is all gone and my skin is flat. :) I still obviously have the purple/faded red marks to show for it but I'm so much happier. I love this product. In less than a week it has improved my confidence a lot.

Pros:

I use this with the Effaclar foaming gel and it has changed my skin drastically. The two together have changed my worst breakout ever to beautiful, clear and even skin in just 2 days.

Cons:

Slightly pricey

This has worked wonders for my sensitive, combination skin with moderate acne. It doesn't dry out my skin and I live in northern Canada where it's very dry. The only product that has changed my face that clearly and that quickly.

Pros:

lightens scars
prevents and gets rid of pimples
smells good

Cons:

semi expensive

I've been using the effaclar foaming facewash toner and then putting this on after morning and night. This stuff is the ONLY thing that has worked for me. ive been on retin-a, minocycline, acnetox, proactiv, acne free etc. Ive been using it for about a month now and my skin has cleared significantly. i used to have about 6 pimples at a time on my face with many scars but now i have no pimples left and my scars have even lightened. BUY IT! so worth it

Pros:

Not sticky, dont stink, makes my skin smooth, really worth trying, not expensive, great for scars too!

Cons:

None I guess...

I've been using this for 3 weeks and im seeing a diference on my red marks which some are scars(look like red holes), they are disapearing, i cant even believe it. I'll use it till my skin is totally smooth, i guess its possible, this product gave me hope, lots of it, RECOMENDED!
