Pros:

Dries acne FAST, makes face feel smooth, reduces redness.

Cons:

Very drying, small tube (expensive).

This stuff works. It's a miracle. I've used Proactiv, Acnefree, and all the expensive 10% PM creams. This cream has done more in one day that everything else did in years. I started using it this afternoon and by night, my face was much less red-looking. The pimples I had are dry and almost gone. My face feels smooth and I feel more confident already. I can't wait to see the results when I keep using it consistently. Just try it. Don't buy the intense 10% BP stuff. This stuff is mild and and makes skin feel amazing. Seriously, it's amazing. Just buy it.

Pros:

When used with Dan's regimen I started seeing results in about a week and a half and it helped prevent acne when used properly according to his instructions.

Cons:

Dry skin but I used CeraVe moisturizer which helps.

When used in Dan's regimen it works but I highly suggest replacing it with his gel but I saw results with this when used properly but the gel is a better alternative but if you can't seem to get the gel then this makes an accurate substitute.

Pros:

It works for my moderate acne with consistent use.

Cons:

EXPENSIVE and leaves a white film.

After finding Dan's website about a year or two ago, I began using a modified version of his system. I use eye makeup remover to gently remove *all* my makeup each night before bed then applied the Neutrogena product generously over my face. It leaves a white film but gets the job done and is in an easy to use package (tube sits on the cap so I know I am getting all of the product out). If I skip it for a night or two the blemishes re-appear, so I must use it every night. This is extremely frustrating because I am on a tight budget and this stuff is expensive, but convenient (pick up at the local Wal-Mart). Today for the first time I ordered Dan's version and I will use it for a year or two and then write a review on it. I read some of the reviews people have written and I hope that it works better than the Neutrogena for me as well. I'd rather give my business to this website since it is less expensive for Dan's version.

Pros:

-can clear up your skin if your more oily than not

Cons:

-drys out your skin like crazy

because it dried my skin out as much as it did it ended up making my acne worse. I gave it a month too and it was a no-go.

Pros:

the BP appears to begin clearing up the skin because it seems to almost tighten the skin and reduce the appearence of pours.

Cons:

After 2 weeks of using this product my face began breaking out even worse than it was before. Active Ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%

Inactive Ingredients: Purified Water, Bentonite, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Emulsifying Wax NF, Polysorbate 20, Glyceryl Laurate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

Something in this caused my acne to begin almost Flaring up worse.

At first this product was amazing, but after about 2 weeks my skin became sore and my acne flared up more than when I started using this product. I now have about 30% MORE acne than when I started using the "On the Spot" treatment. I believe that if you have very SMALL amounts of pimples/acne then it would probobly be great, but if you are like me and have acne on the cheek area in a large amount, then its not a good idea..

Pros:

Works very well
Cleared up acne quickly
Doesn't smell too bad

Cons:

Can make skin very dry and flaky if you use too much or don't use moisturizer
Tends to burn if I use a lot

This product is amazing! I am so glad that I found this through acne.org it has made me feel so much better about myself! I have light acne so I'll usually have a lot of little pimples or a few big ones. I''ve been using this product for about a week or two and it's really helped! All my little blemishes on my forehead are gone and it's working on my larger blemishes. I could tell the day after I started using Neutrogena that it was working. When I first started using this I would wash my face at night and in the morning with my Cetaphil daily cleanser but only at night time would I use the Neutrogena on the Spot. I've been using it every day now sometimes morning and everynight. My skin is VERY dry but that's only because I don't put moisturizer on. It doesn't feel dry it just LOOKS dry. Anyway, this product is GREAT and I recommend this to anyone with light acne as it'll clear it right up quickly! I'm not sure with more severe acne but it's worth a shot!

Pros:

It really worked for me! It actually doesnt dry my skin out. It is very affordable. Works better than any other product Ive tried (including Proactive!) It doesnt burn at all.

Cons:

It takes FOREVER to start taking effect. takes a couple days to clear up a couple blemish's. took a month to finally get rid of my black heads

It works but takes a while to take effect.doesnt dry up my skin. Affordable, and works!
