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:

dries up pimples fast and help stops breakouts

Cons:

small bottle, big price

okay, so yeah, the product is expensive but it works pretty great. it dries up pimples fast and helps to stop breakouts

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.
February 28, 2008

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:

Clears up acne pretty well

Cons:

Side effects of BP
Really small tube for the price which is used up in around a week

It's currently the best I can find here, so I'm using it and it has been working well apart from my skin flaking and peeling badly the first 2 weeks.

Pros:

Cons:

with the wrong skin
