Pros:

great product!

Cons:

drys skin, suggest to add jojoba oil to your cleanser or hypoallergenic moisturizer.

I posted a rave review for this product back in september. A week ago I went to re-up and after 3 visits to 3 different stores in 3 days they were out. I did some searching on the net and found that it was recalled November '08. The processing plant that makes the Walmart Brand, Kroger Brand, and the Dollar General Brand was found by the FDA to have a form of bacteria in it. I was trully upset for days. I found CVS brand & It seems ok. Walmart associates did not seem to be aware of the recall. I saw a posting on here by another person that their Walmart didn't have it and that's what made me do some digging. Has anyone else found it difficult to find before I write a letter to Walmart????

Pros:

Works well. Driew up acne

Cons:

Ruins pillow cases. There's something in the jell that when it gets on a colored pillow case it acts like bleach. Ruined several pillow cases before I realized it was from this product. How do I contact the manufacturer?

Don't use before going to bed!

Pros:

Works great and works fast

Cons:

Has a bit of an odor, and sometimes will leave a bit of white on your face, but can be rubbed in a little to clear up.

Overall seems to work ok. Haven't tried Clearasil but due to it being at a lower price i think it should work ok.

Good product for the price. I use it at night and by morning my face looks a lot better despite the dryness. It should be used with a moisturizer.

Pros:

This product really drys up pimples fast. It works and has not made me break out worse like some other products like Pro Active. I love it & it's a great price.

Cons:

It really drys the skin, so I suggest a good facial lotion such as Purpose or Oil of Olay for Sensitive Skin

This product is good for moderate to cystic acne and it's inexpensive. Use it every other day if your skin is sensitive or weekly with a great oil-free fragrance-free moisturizer. If you have african american skin, I'd recommend seasonal chemical peels to clear away the dead skin cells. You'll have beautiful skin again over time. Maintenance is key for acne prone skin.
