Pros:

It has worked amazingly for minor breakouts I've had.

Cons:

It hasn't worked as well for moderate breakouts I've had.

This can work really well, but it's not the answer to everything. I used this for a minor acne breakout I had a few years ago and it was the only thing that worked. However, I had the worst breakout of my life on my chin and above my lips for the past two months, and this did not heal it. I had to use other methods which were dramatically better. It's possible that the reason it worked for me once really well and not the second time, could be different factors at play, concerning stress and environment.

Pros:

This product works very, very well. I have used 10% BP Clearisil Persigel which was very drying and irritating to my skin. This is much more mild. With Oil of Olay moisturizer, make up goes on very well-a must for work.

Cons:

You really should start with a very small amount to avoid irritating your skin. I used a very small amount on my forehead, nose, and chin and it has worked very well. Not really a con-just a recommendation.

This works very well. I've tried tons of other products, and this has worked by far the best. I use Dove white/sensitive bar soap for the first step, and Oil of Olay Moisturizer for the third step, but only if I have to wear make up for work. If you've never used BP, start off small because it can be a little drying and irritating, but it is just as effective as the 10% stuff out there, but not nearly as irritating. Moisturizing helps a lot, and my Bare Minerals make up goes over everything with no problem. Bare Minerals is great for your skin, and conceals blemishes like nothing else. You can get the starter kit for about $60, and it lasts a long time (still on my starter kit 3 months later).

Pros:

Helped clear a few pimples. Very handy when traveling.

Cons:

Price for one tube is expensive. Itchy and irritated on skin after applying.Saw discoloration on some spots where pimples were/are at. I usually put it on at night and then in the morning, my face would be all red.

This product may have different results on people, but I recommend that people with a lot of acne/pimples shouldn't use this product, if they don't want their face irritated,discolored or dried out.

Pros:

It's actually working pretty well so far. I've had a big breakout on my nose and cheeks. And it's doing pretty well with it. I've noticed some pimples clearing a bit :)

Cons:

Quite expensive for such a small tube. Drying but a good moisturizer can help with that.

If your having problems with acne this is worth a try. If it's drying...moisturize. Moisturizing is really important.

Pros:

I don't know...

Cons:

Doesn't really do much, it costs alot for a tiny tube, and it tends to make my pimples bleed when my fingers accendentaly brush it.

Use this for spot treatment. Just as the name says. I got some Neutrogena Daily Scrub for about a dollar less, and the bottle is bigger than this Neutrogena On-the-Spot. Plus, the Scrub did alot more for me then On-the-Spot.

Pros:

took away my white heads

Cons:

gave me a rash all over my face

i just had an allergic reaction but if you aren't sensative it's probably good because i haven't had a pimple since i started using it.

I e-mailed Neutrogena to find out how come I couldn't find this product anywhere in Ontario anymore. They told me that it has officially been discontinued in Canada. That sucks. :(

I couldn't find this exact product at the store, but I found a clean and clear one that is 10%. I've only been using it about 5 days, only once a day, and it's amazing! I had a bunch of red spots/scars and about 8 pimples on my chin. It does dry out your skin some, but moisturize alot! And girls, use Oil of Olay....it feels wonderful for the moisturizer!!!

Good and bad
I feel like it works in drying out the acne and not my skin, but it really burns and tingles when first applying it. I've just started using this with two other creams from my derm. and I can tell my acne is clearing up
