This is the worst spot treatment I've ever used, my skin is dry, red and irritated, and the pimples are still there, for me it did not work, now I have to wait probably months until my skin gets better

Pros:

None

Cons:

Left dark marks where applied
Ineffective

I bought this hoping that it would clear a bout of chin acne that I'd never experienced until recently -- mostly whiteheads and the occasional deep papule. Per Dan's advice, I applied the BP sparingly at first and gradually applied more. Not only did the product not clear my existing blemishes, but it left my skin a few shades darker in the area to which I had applied it, exacerbating spots of hyperpigmentation. I later tried using On-the-Spot as a spot treatment, and found that it did not shrink the blemishes and, again, left the areas darker than they appeared previously.

Pros:

Doesn't smell

Cons:

Burned my skin
Left huge red blotches on my face
Acne looks untouched

Don't buy this! Immediately after I put it on my acne areas my skin started burning. After I washed it off, I was started to see there were red blotchy circles exactly where I put the acne treatment before. It looks horrible and my acne still remains :(

Pros:

Excellent product. I have been using this for almost a month. I usually have oily skin and this product reduces the oil and greatly enhances my appearance. My son has also been encouraged to try this product for the same reasons. It is great.

Cons:

A bit itchy at times, but worth the itch.

Get it today, do not delay! I have tried many, many products and this is absolutely, positively the best yet!

Pros:

None

Cons:

- Very small tube
- Overpriced
- Cannot be used for the whole face
- Makes your skin dry as a lizard esp during winter
- Doesn't eliminate acne

Do not use this item if you want to get rid of facial acne. It does not seem to eliminate it, I used it for 2 weeks, it made no difference to my skin but I got an eye infection after it badly irritated m eyes and made my skin really very dry. It sucks!
