Pros:

-Good for stubborn pimples under the skin
-Pea sized amount is all you need
-2.5%

Cons:

-Small tube
-Cream based instead of gel
-leaves a white residue when applying makeup/sweating

Overall this product wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. Like the product says, you should only use 'on the spot' instead of a topical treatment for your whole face. I like the fact that it is 2.5% instead of 5% or 10% (which most over the counter products are). It works well with sensitive skin if you use a very small amount.

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:

-Usually works on specific areas of the face
- Dries quickly

Cons:

-Dries skin out
-Do not use if you have very sensitive skin

The title of the product says it all, works on the spot. If you have psoriasis on certain areas of your face, do not apply on those areas, it will dry out the area further. Overall, the spot treatment worked for me.

Pros:

Works great for sensitive skin.
I could tell a difference in a couple of hours.

Cons:

Small tube.
Burns a bit.

I had really tiny red pimples/zits mainly on my nose and forehead, but it did help a lot. I could tell by just a couple of hours that it made a huge difference. I do recommend this product very much!

Pros:

dries quickly
stays on all night

Cons:

burns a little
leaves redmarks ( Which peel in a couple of days)

i have terrible acne that comes and goes sometimes its worse then others and sometimes i only have it on one side of my face, This product is not an magic eraser it takes a couple of uses depending on how inflammed your pimple is. I have very super sensitive skin and when i apply to much it can irritate and leave red skin spots. I've learned that you literally only need a dab to make a difference DONT use more then a dab, the bottle is small for a reason you dont need to be excessive when applying. Dont let your skin get addicted to the BP although its a great minute relief, your body will get use to it and you will break out more because it will depend on it! Trust me i've done Proactiv and Accutane and i still suffer with acne, it runs in the family and it can be quite depressing, today will be that day for me which is why i decided to write this review. Oh and my skin loves mosturizer! i would die without mine but i have found that applying that first before spot treating helps with the irrating and the BP i not spreading around! I hope this helps! Keep ur chin up, acne is not the end of the world....I know im being hyprocitical but beauty relies with in! :) Happy person makes happy skin!

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:

-If you feel a new pimple coming and spot treat it for a consistant amount of time the pimple will NOT form!
-It cleared up inflamed pimples and black heads for me
-Didn't over dry or irritate my skin like other products have

Cons:

-Dries very fast upon application USE MOISTURIZER!!
-Must use consistently

This product helped clear up my skin almost completely. It doesn't necessarily prevent new acne from forming but it spot treats very well and I only get occasional pimples every now and then. In addition, only one pimple will form rather than two to three. I'd definitely recommend this product. **I was using an oral prescription which might've helped my skin but my skin didn't clear up until I used this product...the products given to me by my dermatologist never had these types of results**

Pros:

reduces pimple size
works within a day, such as if you apply it at night, by the morning the pimple will be less inflammed

Cons:

after continous use, skin becomes irritated
balls up if you touch face after application

It does do the job, but when i was using it, it really bothered my skin and even after i took it off, my face would itch for the whole day. Maybe that was just me... for the most part it did reduce the pimple size. so now i only use it once in a while when i need it
