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:

Clears acne, easy to apply, great for oily face.

Cons:

Doesn't work on blackheads, when raining or in pool the cream comes off face, small tube.

This product was what I started with for the 3 step Acne.org regimen by Dan before going to the gel. In just 3 weeks my face was clear using this product. Just follow the steps of the regimen when using this product and your face will most likely clear up, mine did.

Pros:

It doesn't dry out skin, dries out blemishes in a few days.

Cons:

Doesn't really prevent future breakouts, or get rid of current ones all that fast. Basically just keeps your face from getting worse.

I've used this cream for about 3 years, and it hasn't done anything for my face, I just never changed because I never knew what else to use. I just stopped using it, and started using On A Clear Day, and it's already started to clear up my skin. I think this Neutrogena product might work if you have very mild acne, or just a few blemishes.

Pros:

It works!
Gradually dissapears acne
After enough uses, it makes your skin look clearer, and overall appearance appears to be better.

Cons:

Small bottle
Drying (you will need a moisturizer with this product)

For years Ive been searching for a product to clear up my acne and NOTHING would work. I finally found something that works! Its very exciting. I am very curious as to see what it will look like in a couple more weeks.

Pros:

cleared my adult acne after 4 years of trying everything except laser and acutane

Cons:

$6/10 days

4 years ago I developed adult acne. Since then I've tried Proactive, Murad, DDF, Arbonne, Cetaphil, holistic remedies including acupuncture, cleanses, enemas, prescription ointments and oral medications, supplements, cutting out sugar and caffiene, expensive make-ups, not wearing make-up... Finally, I have clear skin by using a dime size amount of the On the Spot which I spread over face and neck and follow with a non-comedegenic, fragrance free lotion twice a day with NO redness and NO over-drying! Sometimes simple is better.

Pros:

I had mild to server acne. Now my face is PERFECT. I have spent a lot of money at the dermo and on products and never got the results that I have gotten from On-the-Spot. It did infact take about two months to have the perfect face that I now have....but compared to having lived with acne for over 18 years...it is worth the wait.

Cons:

NONE

GET ON-THE-SPOT. Just give it some time to work and you too will have PERFECT ACNE-FREE face!!!!

Pros:

Reduces redness and size of pimple, prevents new pimples, doesn't irritate skin that much, good size package

Cons:

None really.

I use it once a day at night. Put on an even layer that soaks into my skin, fairly fast. Then I put on my spot treatment, and in the morning most of the pimples are gone, and no new ones. I used to have bad acne, but it's getting a lot better.

Pros:

Works fast, extremely gentle on skin but still very effective, reduces appearance of shine during the day

Cons:

Can be a bit tricky to apply, comes in small tube

If you use this product twice a day like dan says to, you will probably see great results. I've recently used both epiduo and proactiv consistently for months at a time, and this dinky little tube of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide works better than both of them. And i dont have mild acne either, i have pretty aggressive moderate acne and this cleared it up. Definitely give it a shot.

Pros:

It clears out all acne and is a very affordable and non-stink acne cream unlike other types.

Cons:

It dries out a TINY, LITTLE, MICROSCOPICAL amount of skin.

Buy it, it'll make your skin look, feel, and be as soft as a baby's but again.BUY IT

Pros:

Cleared my acne
works fast
very little drying
not pricey at all

Cons:

NONE

I love this product. i had SERVE acne because i was using Movate to fade some scars on my chest, back, and face and never doing that again. I broke out SO BADLY it was ridiculous. so i decided to try out this product and within the first day i saw improvement. I had to wash my face chest and back extra clean. i used regular soap at first then i exfoliator. It did dry my face but not as bad as other product and wasn't as noticeable. it's the first week and most of my acne on my back and face is almost gone. I'm so HAPPY. Oh and this is my first tube. It lasts a long way for a small tube considering I had to use it for my face,back,and chest and its cheap.
