Cons:

Small tube :)

I rarely depend on miracle products but this works great! Hey it is worth a try. My skin isn't dry at all, it came back to normal. I clears blackheads around my nose area, and acne as well. I't amazing!! The tube last approximately for a month (I use it daily). I found it is important to let the skin dry before putting it on, and then wait again before moisturizer. My routine: 1.L'Oreal visibly clean - foaming cleanser and scrub 2.Neutrogena on the Spot 3.Olay all day moisture lotion (not greasy) Voila! :D Good luck guys ;*

Pros:

It works quickly to remove pimples and doesn't leave red spots on the skin, unlike other medications I've tried.

Cons:

The product is drying but very effective on my oily skin. The container is too small for the price, and I usually have to open the container with scissors to get the rest of the cream out when I'm running out.

I used Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne wash 2x a day and this product once-a-day at night.It cleared my skin in a little less than 2 months. I use the product consistently once a day everyday and haven't gotten a serious zit since.

Pros:

-Doesn't irritate my skin at all
-Clears up acne
-Doesn't hurt when I put it on

Cons:

Can't think of any right now
The smell could be better, actually.

This is my system: When I shower, at night, I use clinique extra strength on my face, chest and back to get rid of dirt and other crap on my skin. After my shower, I put the Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment on my face, chest and back. I only use the Neutrogena at night, once a day so to not irritate my skin. Within 5 days after using this system consistently, I saw improvement in my blemishes. They seem to be going through the whole cycle more quickly. However, you can't stop using it for a few days after doing it consistently because it can cause the blemishes to return quickly. I love this stuff, and I would recomend it to anyone with moderate acne. I don't know if it is strong enough for severe acne. But, seriously, try it!

Pros:

Does make my skin really red, dosen't makes me fleck, dosen't burn! Helps manage my skin.

Cons:

The container is small. I'm keeping track of it so I will know just how much I will need with the amount I use.

I had to stop using my prescribed med, so I needed something FAST! I found this, and I think I might just switch over to it. I don't feel the need to hide when I first put it on, let my original stuff, I actually look good. Best of all it seems to help my acne almost as good as my 5% bp stuff. Becuase it's not harsh, helping my skin to look great!

Pros:

Not as irritating as 10% BP; gets the job done when applied very gently and gradually, in layers of small amounts; packaging is easily portable

Cons:

Very drying if not used with a moisturizer; does not "vanish" completely without some finesse of the fingers, will immediately liquefy and turn white when exposed to sweat or water; packaging is too small for the price and extended use

Works, but a gel-based version is far superior.

Pros:

This cleared up my skin COMPLETLEY i was amazed i used it along with the cetaphil for oily skin i have never been so happy i had suffered from very severe acne for a long time

Cons:

You don't get a lot but i have no problems making it last like 2-3 months and applying it everyday to my entire face

People asked how i got my skin to clear up so fast my skin is like perfect now i have no acne at all every once in awhile i get a small red spot or two but they go away within a day or two

Pros:

Works good for me, reduces pimples in a day, and their clear by day 2 or 3.

Cons:

a little expensive for a small tube, but it lasts me awhile.

i dont put this on my whole face, just a little on my chin, and a little on my forhead. so it lasts me around 2 months. but it works good at keeping me clear.

Pros:

Stops breakouts, not overdrying

Cons:

it's a white cream and not a gel
Expensive

You have to use a lot of it for it to work and that causes my face to turn really pale white because of the cream texture/white color. Buy Dan's instead!

Pros:

This is one of the best treatment for clearing acne. It is great when you apply before you sleep and the next day your acne is almost gone. I love it and I think it is great for acne clearing.

Cons:

The amount in a tiny bottle is to pricey. When you first use it or when you use it on a new pimple, it can be a bit irritation, but it's not that bad.

This product is great and I continue to use it. It clears my skin perfectly leaving no spots. I wish the container was bigger for a better price
