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...

Pros:

works great on oily skin

Cons:

leaves white streaks on your face/hair

i've only been using the stuff for about 3 days, but i used to have really oily skin, but now not so much. the only problem seems to be white streaks but i just put another layer of lotion on my face and the white streaks disappear.

Pros:

1. Easy to apply
2. Works in about 4 days. Improvements in 1.
3. Cheap to buy at store

Cons:

1. If you use too much it'll dry out your skin.
2. Gets a little itchy when it's on your face.

The pros definitely out-weigh the cons. I swear by Milk of Magnesia. Great to use right before you go to sleep, but don't leave it on all night. Keep in on for about 10-20 minutes.
