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:

-can clear up your skin if your more oily than not

Cons:

-drys out your skin like crazy

because it dried my skin out as much as it did it ended up making my acne worse. I gave it a month too and it was a no-go.

Pros:

It has not made my acne worse.

Cons:

It has not made my acne better. It is drying to your skin, and I moisturize twice a day. It is hard to wear under makeup - it makes the makeup look flaky. I have noticed zero difference in my acne and I have been using it for two months.

I had high hopes for this simple formula but it's just not doing anything but drying out my skin. I still see new blemishes every day, the old ones still take forever to go away. Plus now my skin had acne and is dry and flaky. On the positive side, it hasn't made anything worse. After two months I was hoping to see some results and got nothing.

I did not like this product at all. I used it today and I had an allergic reaction. My cheeks swelled up and it had a burning sensation. My face looks horrible today. I will never use this product again. I'd rather stick to Dove.
