Pros:

Convenient packaging, clears up existing acne

Cons:

Drys out skin, doesn't prevent new pimples

It worked for the first week or so...after that, my skin was a flaky mess with more pimples than I started with. It's not worth it!

Pros:

It didn't sting my skin badly or cause lots of redness like so many other acne medications have done.

Cons:

It is not an overnight product, when it comes to how quickly it clears up acnce. Also, I don't care for its scent.

This is one product that I really tried to stay faithful to but couldn't. I like that it had a lower percentage of benzoyl peroxide. However, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a slow worker and I just am a bigger fan of higher strength benzoyl peroxide products than this super lower low strength instead.

Pros:

works incredibly well and quickly. Gets rid of the small pimples and greatly reducing the bigger ones.

Cons:

Extremely Drying before moisturizer is put on. but once skin is moisturized, not a problem-- although there some irritation.

Something about the fact that this is a thicker cream consistency as opposed to a watery gel make it seemingly more effective and potent. I tried Dan Kern's gel and it dried out my skin tremendously, because it was a gel and it required so much of it. A cream just works better for sensitive skin in general.

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:

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.
