Pros:

Gives fairly consistent results, and clears acne very well.

Cons:

The tube is way too small, making it VERY expensive for continued use. Doesn't reduce much redness for me and only keeps me clear about 1 week out of the month.

I have been in love with this product for a long time, as my skin hasn't been this clear since I was 10. But, the price is taking its toll on me for such a small amount of product and there is always the hope of finding something that gets me completely clear. Great product, and I will continue to use it until Dan's products arrive! If you are hesitant about the regimen, I suggest beginning with this, and if you like what it does for your skin, purchase Dan's products then, they are a MUCH better deal.

Pros:

Clears up pimples.

Cons:

Very expensive and very drying. It also makes my moisterizer ball up. Whenever I use this my skin literally looks like its peeling.

Waiting for Dan's BP to come in the mail. Hopefully its better than this expensive neutrogena crap!

Pros:

works well first couple of days

Cons:

started to not work as well after 2 weeks or so. EXTREMELY expensive!

This product is definetly not worth the cost. Instead, I use CVS's acne treatment, which is compared to neutrogena on the spot acne treatment. it's less than $4 and just a great product if used right!

Pros:

this is non-irritating yet extremely strong on existing blemishes.

Cons:

extremely expensive. I think I used to use 4 tubes a month! at between $5 & $7 that was a lot of money. I skimped on the product and was always running out because I never stocked up too much because the tubes were so expensive. .75 ounces?no thanks

Buying the acne.org products will give the same (or bettter) results for a much lower price.

Pros:

absorbs smoothly into skin, no odor, no flakiness. clears skin very well.

Cons:

can get sticky, a little pricey for a small tube

Although it's a little pricey for such a small tube, I'll take it ANY DAY over the expensive other brands. This fits right into my budget! It does have a drying effect but as long as you follow up with the proper moisturizer, problem solved. It even doubles as a fade cream. I've noticed my post acne marks are disappearing.

Pros:

Excellent at preventing pimples AND getting rid of ones already present!

Cons:

Can be drying some times.

Keeps my entire face clear even during those times I am more prone to breaking out:) Goes on easily and absorbs fast.

Pros:

Works ok for spot treatment. Showed slight improvement and it helped to dull redness.

Cons:

Way too expensive for small tube, does not spread easily over face

I've been using this for about a month, but now switching to Dan's gel. I feel it is way overpriced for it's small tube, especially if you're using it twice a day - it runs out fast. It seemed to work ok on some existing pimples, which is what this product is really made for - spot treatment. It didn't work well when applied over the entire face - it was hard to spread and I think I ended up irritating my skin more from using it instead of helping it.

Pros:

Works well, gets rid of pimples faster and helps with redness.

Cons:

WAY TOO DRYNG for my face! It completely made my face go crazy and I was peeling so bad on my chin. I couldn't smile throughout the day b/c I it literally felt like my skin was about to crack. Didn't look to nice either, so I stopped using it.

Good as a spot treatment like what it is made for, definitely not the whole face. Although it claims it is gentle, it was too harsh for me and way to drying. People with sensitive skin I woudln't recommend, I learned that the hard way! My skin is still messed up b/c of it.
