Pros:

Does seem to work. My skin has smoothed and stay somewhat acne free.

Cons:

Still get a few pimples from time to time but not like before. The worst thing about this is the fact that it bleaches EVERYTHING!! I've ruined lots of bath towels, handtowels, and plenty of good clothes. This stuff is dangerous. Even after washing my face to get it off it still must be in my pores or something becuase we keep finding bleach spots on everything. Very frustrating.

It does seem to clear up and help prevent new acne for me. Very cheap too. I do hate how it turns white on you skin and dries like a mud mask of sorts. I only use it when I'm going to be at home for a few hours and don't wear it in public. It's too noticeable on my skin. Be very careful what your face touches while wearing it! It bleaches material extremely easy! I've ruined many good shirts, sweatshirts, even some of my wife's clothes have shown up with bleach marks somehow. Not to mention all the bath towels that are now hidden away when company comes over. Almost not worth using really, I'm always scared of touching my face and then forgetting not to touch anything else til I wash my hands thouroughly. Gave my wife a hug while wearing it and after doing wash the shirt she had been wearing had a big pinkish colored spot on the shoulder. Gotta be very careful. I use my shirt to itch my eye and forgot I was wearing it and now my $30 shirt is a shop towel.

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:

Works very well - at a much better price than other over the counter products.

Cons:

the bottle ( cream ) has a weird gritty ingredient, which i can't stand. needs to be shaken well - best for spot treatment. Usage all over will produce an extremely dry almost powdery film. Can only be bought at Wal Mart.

I just started using this a few months ago, as I could not afford another similar product - I was very impressed with the results. This might work perfectly for people with light acne, but I am battling problem adult acne.
