Pros:

It works. It got rid of my big red painful pimple in 2 days.

Cons:

The bottle could have more for the price. What people don't realise is a little goes a long way.

A little goes a long way with this product. If you use too much then you will run out faster. My painful pimple that started on thursday hurt so bad wicked bad. Then I bought the product and on friday it was a little smaller, and saterday more small, by Sunday it was not there anymore.

Pros:

It goes on smooth- aborbs fairly well but dries quickly. Its great for prevention (if your skin is clear), and for controlling (if you have tiny, barely noticeable zits)- it usually clears up small break outs in a day or 2.

Cons:

If you have a massive, pussy zit already erupting- it doesn't appear to have much impact on it; and tends to make the area immediately around the irritated area dry and flaky.

I actually discovered this a few years ago and always recommend it to friends. Its such a tiny tube and is pricey depending on where you buy it- ranging from $6-$9... A tube can usually last me about 6 months. But I haven't used it as part of Dan's Regimen- his method would surely cause you to go through it a lot faster. But it really is good for prevention, so I would recommend it if your in the prevention phase of the Regimen- thus making it worth the expense.

Pros:

This product works very, very well. I have used 10% BP Clearisil Persigel which was very drying and irritating to my skin. This is much more mild. With Oil of Olay moisturizer, make up goes on very well-a must for work.

Cons:

You really should start with a very small amount to avoid irritating your skin. I used a very small amount on my forehead, nose, and chin and it has worked very well. Not really a con-just a recommendation.

This works very well. I've tried tons of other products, and this has worked by far the best. I use Dove white/sensitive bar soap for the first step, and Oil of Olay Moisturizer for the third step, but only if I have to wear make up for work. If you've never used BP, start off small because it can be a little drying and irritating, but it is just as effective as the 10% stuff out there, but not nearly as irritating. Moisturizing helps a lot, and my Bare Minerals make up goes over everything with no problem. Bare Minerals is great for your skin, and conceals blemishes like nothing else. You can get the starter kit for about $60, and it lasts a long time (still on my starter kit 3 months later).

I e-mailed Neutrogena to find out how come I couldn't find this product anywhere in Ontario anymore. They told me that it has officially been discontinued in Canada. That sucks. :(

I couldn't find this exact product at the store, but I found a clean and clear one that is 10%. I've only been using it about 5 days, only once a day, and it's amazing! I had a bunch of red spots/scars and about 8 pimples on my chin. It does dry out your skin some, but moisturize alot! And girls, use Oil of Olay....it feels wonderful for the moisturizer!!!

Works with a combination
I use this as apart of the acne.org regimen and love it. I believe it has def helped with my comedonal acne. I also use epiduo and yaz. It has been two months and I have seen my skin clear up drastically!! Seeing your GP or Dermatologist is key!! Make sure you get a topical and oral medication.

Pros:

Did not Burn.
Felt Great Using it.

Cons:

Takes a bit to use.
Small Tube.

This is wonderful on my face. It does not burn my face and I feel great using it. It dries quickly and makes my face feel tight so I know it is dry. I personally like the quick drying and face feeling tight. My face only started do burn, when I put my first moisturizer on after this dries.

Pros:

This is heaven in a bottle for me! When I first started using it my face was covered with blemishes but this got rid of them in 4 days. It doesn't irritate my skin, and it works quickly.

Cons:

It's a bit pricey for such a small bottle, but it's worth it.

It works like a charm.

Pros:

It reduces my acne fast and it doesn't dry out my face as bad as other BP products. It clears up my skin within a week.

Cons:

a little expensive for such a small tube. It ran out quickly

Out of all BP products I've ever used, this seems to be the best one that helps reducing my acne dilemmas tremendously. Though, it's a bit expensive compared to its quantity, but it's worth the money. I'd rather spend this money for a clean and clear face than spending money on products that don't even help anything.
