Pros:

Clears up pimples.

Cons:

Very expensive and very drying. It also makes my moisterizer ball up. Whenever I use this my skin literally looks like its peeling.

Waiting for Dan's BP to come in the mail. Hopefully its better than this expensive neutrogena crap!

Pros:

Did reduce some inflamation

Cons:

Made skin REALLY dry, and almost burnt. Never made the spots completely go away.

This doesn't work, try something a little more on the upscale side. You get what you pay for.

Pros:

gets rid of pimples quick

Cons:

CREATES LARGE, DARK POST INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION SPOTS (aka dark spots)!!!

After reading some of the great reviews about Neutrogena On the Spot on acne.org, I decided to purchase one from my local rite aid. I applied it before I went to bed, and woke up with the pimples having gone down quite a bit. But to my dismay, I also saw HUGE, VERY visible brown spots exactly at the place where I had applied this cream!!! It does get rid of emerging acne, but in exchange for that, I got these brown spots as if someone drew it on me with a brown permanent marker!!! Bottom line: I would return this if I would, and highly regret using it (since now, I'm stuck with trying to get rid of dark spots- which take months to go away, not days/weeks in the case of some acne). Usually, I don't write reviews, but I wanted to let everyone know my experience so it doesn't happen to them.

Pros:

Made larger pimples go away.

Cons:

Caused a lot of smaller acne bumps, dried up skin, feels a bit tight and heavy on the forehead.

Although this made a huge zit go away in about 2 or 3 days, it didn't work any miracles and gave me a lot of smaller bumps that annoyed me even more.

Pros:

Stops breakouts, not overdrying

Cons:

it's a white cream and not a gel
Expensive

You have to use a lot of it for it to work and that causes my face to turn really pale white because of the cream texture/white color. Buy Dan's instead!

Pros:

small tube is easy to fit in makeup bag

Cons:

Didn't work on my skin. It just made blemishes more noticable, red, irritated, swollen, painful. I think they took even longer to clear than not using anything! Doesn't dispense well.

Try something else.
