Pros:

It really works! The only product so far that actually kept the oil off my face.

Cons:

It makes my face white/bleached looking (temporarily). I wouldn't want to put it on in the morning, but I put it on about 20 minutes before bed every night, and then wash it off before going to sleep.

This is one of those things you can't believe it actually works, but it really does. NOTHING else has worked for me, not $350 tubes of creams or medications, or Proactiv, or anything else... it's amazing that a $2 bottle of laxative finally fixed the oiliness on my face!

Pros:

Controls oil, great for a make- up primer, makes skin smooth, reduces redness :D

Cons:

I honestly don't have any cons, yeah it makes your face white but hello you put make-up on over top of it. And if you are a boy well,,,,I guess that sucks for you then doesn't it lol.

WORKS GREAT!!!!!! INEXPENSIVE!!!!!!

Pros:

Didn't make me break out & Controlled oil

Cons:

Was still a little oily at the end of the day!

I use this product under my foundation and moisturizer and i have to say i am impressed. I am very very OILY!!!! at the end of the day my face looks like i smeared olive oil all over it. So i brought this product to get rid of that problem and it did. I have to say though i was still oily at the end of the day and i did have to plot once but when i don't wear this stuff i have to plot like 6 times a day. Worth the small amount of money paid just use a moisturizer over it or you can look pale but don't put too much on.

&'nd keeps my oily skin under control(:

Cons:

Itchy a bit after it dries up.

I started using this last night, After all the goood reviews, i had to give this a try! So i went to walgreens and got a bottle of MoM and pour a little in the cup it came with, got a cotton ball, dipped it in, and put it all over my face (2 coats] , like you would do with a reg mask. it dryed up in with 3-5 mins. after it dried my face started to itch a lil :/ but when i took it off 30 mins later, my face was so smoootttth(: like never before. i had NO redness (before i put it on i had redness] I LOVE MILK OF MAGNESIA! It works wondersss! (: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Pros:

Works quickly and effectively, cheap, doesn't bleach fabric like other products. No more oily skin or redness!

Cons:

Can cause irritation on dry skin, dries white so you can't use it during the day.

I've tried countless perscriptions from my dermatologist, none of which have worked. Proactiv, benozyl peroxide, all the rest were ineffective and just irritated my sensitive skin. Even other "at-home" remedies (think: tea tree oil or egg whites) don't work as well at battling acne and redness. MoM is gentle and not overly-drying on my skin. It works very quickly. I've only used it for a few days and i'm already seeing improvement. I'm hoping it's going to continue to cure my problems!

Pros:

get rids of redness and bumps
it also clears up acne and forming pimples pretty fast
its super super good at reducing oilyness..no shine at all during the day...it makes skin amazingly soft and smooth after a couple of days

Cons:

it seems pretty weird to be smearing laxative on your face, but hey it works :P
it does leave it a little residue but its barely there

this stuff really works, its probably the best that i have tried to get rid of redness and scar spots....you just dab some of this on with a soaked cotton ball, on your whole face or just for spots doesnt matter...leave it on for like 10-20 minutes, wash it off..then wala!..i saw a huge change after one day and even more after 1 week.. i started using this after i read it somewhere that it helps rosacea and quit my daily routine of benzaclin (which stopped working for me)..however i did continue using retin-a but i dont think that makes much of a difference...this stuff works wonders for my oily skin and does not make my skin dry and flaky at all..i dont know how it works for normal to dry skin though...
