Pros:

Eventually the pipmple heals

Cons:

They say it yoru pimple heal sin 8 hours... IT DOESNT! it took me like about a week. Plus it burns. And the packaging is TINY compared to how big it looks on advertizment. 8 dollars is not so much, but honestly its not worth it. Id rather wait.

Doesnt work. Burns Skin.

Pros:

It works great! cleared my skin up in a couple of day, I like it cause it gave you no shine at all, and the cream kind of hides your existing pimples!

Cons:

This stuff does not spread at all and dries out way to fast, It also left white residue all over my face, takes forever to apply!

It's a good product, clears skin well...But applying it is a pain in the a$$, I wish it was a little more light and spreaded better....I would reccomend Dan's BP Gel!!!

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.

Pros:

Available at every drugstore. Not terribly expensive.

Cons:

Smells funny. Doesn't 'melt' into skin well. Leaves an ichy white residue so it is really annoying to have to put lotion after and then makeup in the morning. Especially in the summer when it's about 90 degrees in DC and 100% humidity!

The white residue was uber not cool. I just bought Dan's BP and it is WAY better and I've only been using it for 2 days. The price is actually better because of the size. I use Vanicream bar of soap two times a day. I like it because it's cheap and very gentle. (About $2.85 at Target. You have to ask for it at the Pharmacy, behind the counter.) I use Dan's BP in the morning and at night. In the morning I use Garnier Noutrise SPF 15 lifting lotion and at night I use 10% glycolic alpha hydroxy brand after Dan's BP. It's only been two days but I already see wonderful results for the new BP. Being able to use BP in the morning (no more white residue from the Nuetrogena brand BP ) seems to be making a HUGE difference.

Pros:

I tried this tx after it was recommended to me to use as all-over tx rather than just on the spot, and it works great that way!

Cons:

I go through 0.75 oz. quite fast and would like to purchase a larger quantity. I did hear such a package exists, but I can't remember where, so I am searching the net today to find it.

This product will clump sometimes, but I've always found a way to blend it in, with an oil-free moisturizer, and foundation on a daily basis. It has kept my face clearer than any other product. I've recommended it to my younger sisters who are struggling as I was at that age. Most important though, is to go through the daily routine of washing, treating, and moisturizing NO MATTER WHAT! My sisters don't like to wash their face before bed every night and you have to be that dedicated to get clear skin!

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:

really small, worked on the small pimples and all. like little white heads here and there, maybe on every other blackhead.

Cons:

didnt really work for me. my skin got kind of "immune" to it quickly.

it will work on SOME of the breakouts i had, and it wont work on others.

Pros:

I've used this product for a while, and it works great! Being only 2.5% concentration, it's gentle on the skin, and does a great job getting rid of mild to moderate acne.

Cons:

Pricey for the amount you get. Plus, make sure you carry a cloth with you if you sweat a lot (like myself). It'll leave an annoying milky residue on your face (especially while exercising outdoors in the heat).

Overall, this is an fine product. However, I still prefer Dan's product over this one for the simple reason that it's a gel-based formula. Neutrogena On-the-spot is not very good to use in the summertime if you sweat heavily, and it does occasionally clump up when using a moisturizer (because it's cream-based). However, it does get the intended job done and I would still recommend it to most folks.
