Pros:

it cleared up my complexion

Cons:

down side it caused tiny bumps to come all over my cheeks and forehead, places where I would never get acne before. I would only get cyctic acne sprouts, and since going to the dermatologist they have just made my skin worse. It is now extra sensitiv

I would suggest going back to the basics, my skin everywhere else is clear yet my face which I have been using all this crap on that makes it dry and irritated. It works then as soon as I am off, it stops.

Pros:

this WORKS!!
Coming off of birth control made my skin explode and this took me back to normal and fades scars in just WEEKS.

Cons:

Can't wear it during the day with anything else bc it seems to ball up no matter what.
Tube is annoying to use and cap broke off in a place...a pump would be better IMO.

If you're not sure whether to try this...TAKE A CHANCE! It's worth it. Or atleast it was for me. I took a shot and it is now my HG staple in my skin care. Nothing and i mean NOTHING fades scars as well as this has. Also, it prevents pimples from forming into those huge monsters and noticeably shortens the lifespan/lifecycle of the pimple. Thanks Dan! This is by far your best product IMO, you are amazing! I love not worrying about my skin anymore <3

Pros:

moisturizing, helped with whiteheads

Cons:

Gave me blackheads!! I used this on my chest and I suddenly got blackheads on my collar!! They are starting to go away now that I am using other products but wft!

I would not use this product. I dont know what it is about this product but if you are blackhead prone I would steer clear.

Pros:

Seems to be working for chest acne

Cons:

Terrible for my face. Maybe an allergy or something? Or maybe my face is too sensitive for this stuff.

I bought this lotion (the kind in the picture) to use on my chest and back. I decided to try it on my face as well. Big mistake! My face has NEVER looked so bad. Covered in small red bumps! I can't believe the reaction my face had to this lotion. My chest seems to be clearing up, but who knows how long it will last. I would recommend this for body acne as acne.org has suggested, but not for face acne.

Pros:

It made my blackheads disappear, thats the only good thing about this product.

Cons:

It made my pores big & when i got a pimple it just got bigger. Breakout alittle. Made my face very oily.

I won't prefer it if you have combination & acne-prone skin like me. I'm goig to try the Alpha Hydrox AHA Souffle 12% Glycolic AHA. It got lots of good reviews from people with the same kind of skin like me.

Pros:

Parts of my skin that don't have acne it looks amazing.

Cons:

it does feel like my skin is purging quit a bit. I'm not sure if this is normal but I will continue to use for a couple weeks.

My skin does feel much smoother and I have a lot of hope for the acne to disappear. I haven't been using it long enough to really see if it works. I will write back in a couple weeks. The packaing does state that some blemishes my occur.
