Pros:

This product did help moisturize my skin, and for the most part kept it oil free. Easy and quick to apply.

Cons:

It didn't help get rid of acne that already existed, and just slowed down the appearance of more, but didn't completely eliminate them.

I was a little disappointed that this didn't help my acne out as much as it could have...

Pros:

Clears up all acne blemishes, Dry's quickly, Doesn't dry out skin, Smells pretty good.

Cons:

Cap is hard to screw on.

Fantastic if you have dry skin and want to get rid of acne.

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

Doesn't reduce redness (it actually causes it)
Dries skin out
Caused me to break out

I used the entire tube of this, and it dried my skin out, irritated it, and made it itchy. My skin is sensitive and I have moderate acne. The tube lasted about a month (maybe two, I don't know), and when I finished, I did not repurchase.

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:

Love the smell.
Love how it cleans my skin.

Cons:

I wish it exfoliated my skin.
Wish it cured my acne. :)

Cleans really well. It didn't necessarily cure my acne, but it helped with the cleansing.
