Pros:

Easy to use. heads. Great at preventing new pimples. Removes all facial scum (oil, dead skin, ect.) Easy to use (has a soft side and rougher side!). Barely stings/burns at all (definitely the least I have ever felt). Drys quickly. Very affordable!

Cons:

May dry your skin occasionally, but any good moisturizer eliminates this problem. Container has sorta small width. Has a smell, but I never noticed it when applied. Doesn't do much for cystic acne (BP works great for that though!)

This a very effective and easy to use product. So far in my 4 year battle with acne, this is the best I have used at preventing acne and treating current pimples. Keep in mind that I have been through many products, such as TriClear, Proactiv, Murad Acne System, AcneFree, and many other over the counter products. In my opinion, the perfect regimen is: 1- Wash with Dan's face wash 2- Stridex pad soft side on over face and neck 3- Dan's BP Gel on affected areas (or all over) 4- Complex 15 moisturizer on face and neck To quell what many have said below, this product is NOT harsh on your skin if you know what you are doing. You MUST use a gentle face wash (such as Dan's or Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser) and you MUST use a moisturizer (such as Complex 15). You will not have dry skin if you do this. Also, this product doesn't burn on the skin, and if it does for you, use the soft textured side and wipe in soft strokes.

Pros:

A few years ago, i noticed i got a pimple so parents gave me stridex and made most of it go away so i started using it everyday. But when i ran out of it i started getting more white heads. But i started using it again, and have very little acne.

Cons:

It might not make all of the acne go away, but it still works. But it may cause dry skin.

If you have very little acne, i reccomend you to try this.

Pros:

Works after awhile

Cons:

Harsh on the skin. PEELS!

This item actually works for acne, but it extremely harsh on the skin. It tends to make your face sting and burn. While using this product, my face peeled 2-3 times a week. It was tremendously embarassing. It will peels all throughout the mouth area. In my opinion, I think that there are other products that work just as well or even better, without drying out your skin.

Cons:

didnt clear half of my skin

Well I used this produce for a week after using proactiv and making my skin worse, its alright it cleared all the big pimples below my nose which was an irritant because im s a stuffy person, and my nos looks a little bit better, but honestly it isnt very affective.
