Pros:

None

Cons:

Over priced for the amount of product you receive. ((((Doesn't work period ))))

I would not recommend this product to anyone. This product is not meant for sensitive skin. It is way to harsh for anybody's face. It burns and increases the amount of acne on your face. ((DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT))

Pros:

It seems to have finally had an impact after several weeks. My face has cleared up quite a bit on one side and moderately on the other.

Cons:

I still get occasional new zits and pimples, even in areas where I applied the cream. It also dries EXTREMELY fast so you cannot rub it in as long as Dan suggests.

On-the-spot is the only thing that has made an impact on my acne. Overall it is a good product- although it is kind of expensive. The cheapest I could find was at my local Wal-Mart for $4.50 a tube.

Pros:

not too expensive, clears up skin very fast, easy to use, easy to carry around

Cons:

requires a lot to clear up entire face

This produut worked fantastically on my skin. It did not dry it out, and I saw results after 1 day. 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is the way to go. It's way less expensive as Proactiv or those advertised brands. It dries very quickly and doesn't feel sticky or oily on my skin. Fantastic prodcut overall.

Pros:

Keeps skin from getting oily

Cons:

Expensive, and you have to use a LOT of it for it to work. Also doesn't seem to go on as invisible as the regimen gel.

Well the bottom line is, it keeps my severe (yes, severe as in cystic) acne under control better than any prescription I've used (never been on accutane though). When used with the regimen it is nearly a miracle. I like the Neutrogena better than the regimen gel, but that is probably because I have oily skin, if your skin is normal or dry then the regimen gel may be better.

Pros:

invisible

Cons:

doesnt work, expensive

Used this product with the regimen for over 4 months and didnt see any results. Waiste of money.

Pros:

You can pick this up in a drugstore to use while you're waiting for your delivery of Dan's bp gel to arrive.

Cons:

It doesn't glide on or soak in as well as Dan's bp gel. It balls up. It tugs at the skin, thus irritating it.

Holds you over until Dan's bp gel arrives.

Cons:

okayy..

okay well i am 13 and good god. i have been suffering with acnee so much i remember going to bed crying everry night because it was just so bad..well anyways i just started using on the spot acne and god i think it might work i have notice some clearing up and eys it is my second day. but my skin has become really dry so i have been using nivea or something like that to keep it moisturised. ive heard so many good things about this product so im going to give it a try! and i also use the nuetrogena face wash with this product and its all together about 11 dollars. pretty cheap id say. thanks nuetrogena! i love you! you are my life savor!

Pros:

Easy to apply
Smells good
Relatively inexpensive

Cons:

DRYING
Doesn't work (if it does, very slowly)

I have very light but stubborn acne that's very difficult to conceal. This product only made my acne redder, and stopped it from forming, didn't treat it. I would recommend this product for harboring future acne, if it weren't sooooo drying! I have very VERY oily skin, and go through much make-up and oil sheets a day and this product managed to extremely dry it out. Even with a lot of moisturizer (applied almost hourly) the areas where I applied the spit treatment were so flaky, concealer couldn't cover it, and water couldn't sooth the burning. Furthermore, I've tried almost everything, from prescription to store-bought to online orders, and there are MANY products with a higher amount of benzoyl peroxide that are much gentler than this! I highly recommend Clean & Clear spot treatments. They are more specific to YOUR problems, not only fight acne but prevent it and fade past marks, and work much better and much faster for a much smaller price.
