Pros:

Cheap and easy to use

Cons:

Didin't work at all for me!!

A friend reccomended me this product because she said it worked very well for her. I had a mild case of acne (not more than 3 pimples at the same time), and after a week using this product I broke out to have my chin really full of pimples!! Maybe this product would work for other people, but for me it wasn't good at all...

Pros:

It doesn't sting like other spot treatments, feels very soothing on skin.

Cons:

It's not strong enough to prevent or cure breakout.

I have always been a fan of Neutrogena, but this product was a major dissappointment. I used it for almost a month, hoping to see the difference. Unfortunately, it did nothing to help my acne. So I switched to the Rapid Clear 2-in-1 and I'm loving it :)

Pros:

silky, light consistency, very gentle, effective on mild acne

Cons:

doesn't really exfoliate, added scent

It's so gentle that I can't believe the concentration of salycilic acid(2%). It moisturises enough so that I don't need any additional moisturiser. I don't think it works as an exfoliator though. Anyway, it's a great moisturiser for those who have whiteheads or mild inflammatory acne.

Pros:

It kind of tingles feels really nice makes your skin feel soft and smooth. Doesn't help with my acne but doesn't make it worse.

Cons:

I kind of have to hold my breath when I use it because the scent is really strong and can get up in your nose and... ugh not a nice feeling.

Good if you want a soft clean skin but not if you want to try to treat moderate to severe acne.

Pros:

Makes your face look like you put on foundation right after you wash your face

Cons:

The "foundation-effect" wears off after only a couple of minutes and it also smells very strong. I've found that it causes giant pimple on your face, and the pimples actually get stuck in your skin. It also caused me mhiteheads all over my chin+nose!

If you have a couple of pimples, (1-5) then sure, it works. But in more severe cases, it screws up your skin. It makes your face shiny, dries out your skin, smells harsh and causes huge boil sized pimples. VERY umpleasent. I am now turning to AcneFree in hopes that it will work. If you have only a couple of pimples and decide to try this, I would reccomend the Life Brand Oil free medicated lotion from Shoppers Drugmart. It's not pricey ($5.49 in Canada)and it works AMAZING. It makes your skin feel smooth and clears up the pimples.

Pros:

instantly softens skin, Supports clearing pimples. It smells clean and makes your skin feel cleaner.

Cons:

Doesn't work well on its own

This is a great product to use at the end of your skin care regiment. I would really suggest using clean and clear astringent before hand. It will work almost instantly when used together. The next morning my skin was already half cleared up and way softer/hydrated.
