Pros:

My son has used the Equate Acne Vanishing Cream for a couple of years (available only at US Walmarts). Works great..always!! Now we can't find it anywhere...does anyone know if it's coming back?

Cons:

none for him

If anyone knows anything comparable, please let us know. Use it sparingly. Not much is needed to work.

Pros:

It is cheap and works very well.... Walmart no longer sells it so I got the name brand stuff for 5 bucks and it has a smaller content... doesn't work! my face is all broke out!! When are they bringing it back?!?

Walmart needs to bring back the Equate acne gel or my face will never be clear again if anyone has found something else that works let me know!

Pros:

This stuff is awesome! I've tried dermatologists, every OTC acne med you can find, Proactive, NOTHING WOKRED except this stuff. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Cons:

It keeps selling-out at Wal-Mart and the past 4 weeks i've gone in I can't find it. I finally found the last two packages in town at a Walmart grocery market and bought them both!!!

It's amazing and I absolutely reccomend it for anyone with acne problems, I just hope they start producing more of it and NEVER change the formula.

Pros:

Dries up pimples, has already started helping some with my under-skin red bumps (nodules?), VERY cheap

Cons:

Dries skin, leaves light white film (hidden when used with moisturizer)

I bought the maximum strength (10% benzoyl peroxide) and it has worked wonders so far. Yes, it dries my skin out, but everybody knows that BP does that, which is why everybody reccomends moisturizer. I put it on in the morning after cleansing and then apply moisturizer which eliminates the visible white film and helps with the itching it sometimes causes when your skin is not quite used to BP yet. It's extremely affordable (I got it for around $1 at Wal-Mart). My acne is clearing up nicely, it's even helping the acne under my skin (nodules?). BP is the best thing that will ever happen to you (IF your skin can handle it - not reccommended if your skin is EXTREMELY sensitive - mine is sort of but not that bad).

Pros:

I've used this at night for years (the cream or gel) mixed with aloe vera gel or other face mosturizers. It feels like a lotion on my face (not drying at all) & clears the acne too. Has worked far better than all the other products I've tried.

Cons:

It can bleach clothing/bedding. It does have the "benzoyl peroxide" smell, but that can be diminished depending on the lotion it's mixed with.

Try it! You will probably be surprised, as I was, that a mosturizing lotion can help clear acne!

Pros:

Works really well. I tried Neutrogena to Pro-Active and none of those treatments worked for me. I wasted hundreds of dollars and Equate is inexpensive and dependable. It helped clear up my acne and get rid of scars too! It works fast!

Cons:

Does act like bleach. Be careful with clothes and bedding! It dries my skin too so to help prevent that I put lotion on before applying the medication and it helps keep my skin moist!

If you need a cheap,effective treatment for acne. I would definately recommend this.

Pros:

are you serious!!! this product is ridiculous!! honestly i've tried every acne treatment you can think of... except for pro active and that's just cause i've seen what it really does to people face "makes it worse". and no acne treatment comes close!

Cons:

i guess... the only bad thing about it is that its only sold at wal-mart but... isn't that where everyone shops???

if you want a acne treatment that actually does its job..... then equate is right for you!!

Pros:

clear pimples fast

Cons:

too strong

this product says use daily, I use a small amount once or twice aweek because its very strong, works great and keep face clear. I got proactive as a gift and after useing it for about 2 months it dosen't even compare to how good this stuff work's.

I've used different acne meds for the last 10 years. This is the only one that will keep my face consistently clear. I use a pea-size amount every morning and night on my whole face.
