Pros:

Works ok for spot treatment. Showed slight improvement and it helped to dull redness.

Cons:

Way too expensive for small tube, does not spread easily over face

I've been using this for about a month, but now switching to Dan's gel. I feel it is way overpriced for it's small tube, especially if you're using it twice a day - it runs out fast. It seemed to work ok on some existing pimples, which is what this product is really made for - spot treatment. It didn't work well when applied over the entire face - it was hard to spread and I think I ended up irritating my skin more from using it instead of helping it.

Pros:

It worked pretty well and it was very convenient because I could take it with me everwhere.

Cons:

It really dried out my skin. I would recommend using a moisturized afterwards.

It kept my acne under control. I switched from this product to Clean and Clear and this product ended up being better even though Clean and Clear had 5% B.P.

Pros:

Frankly, it's working for me. As it's descriped on this site. Waiting for the Daniel Kern's regiment gel...

Cons:

Really too expensive! used up one tube every week. And it's balling up all the time. And it causes flaking. Sometimes people wondering what I have on my face... I have to explain a lot each time. Anyway, pimples are almost gone...

I think like its name, On the spot, it'll be excellent only for the "spot". When it comes to the general application on the face, problems are caused. I didn't try the Daniel's regiment at beginning, cos it's quite complicate to get it in China. But finally I ordered them this morning, Even including the UPS service, it would be much cheapper than the Neutrogena cream(here in China, we buy it at $8). If you're outside the US, I think it's not a bad idea to try this one first, just to see if the BP really works for you.

It works well, but it drys your so it's all flaky and gross. Make sure you have a moisturizing cream when using.

Pros:

I used this first when I started the CSR. It worked very well. It also made my face less greasy.

Cons:

It beaded up A LOT. Especially when using moisturizer. I had to use a wet washcloth to get the excess off.

It works if you don't have any of the CSR gel on hand, but watch out cuz it won't absorb all the way.

Pros:

Does actually stop pimples in their tracks, and prevent them getting worst and bigger. Good for ridding of pimples fast.

Cons:

Does dry out skin, and because the product is benzoyl peroxide, scarring may occur. Also, may rid of existing pimples, but does not prevent new ones.

Perfect for people with occasional pimples, but not serious acne =(. Use sparingly, but definitely use on problematic pimples! If looking for something to rid of a pimple fast... On-The- Spot acne treatment is the way to go.

Pros:

It dries out your pimples , specially the red ones, it kills bacteria as claimed.

Cons:

It dries your skin severely, it leaves very red spot. After one month and a half i have black scars left from this product.

I never had that much acne, since i was exfoliating with the st ives scrub. After i few blemishes 3 i used this. It made my life a living hell. My 3 pimples got dried out. But i was left with 3 big horrible scars.

Pros:

Not as irritating as 10% BP; gets the job done when applied very gently and gradually, in layers of small amounts; packaging is easily portable

Cons:

Very drying if not used with a moisturizer; does not "vanish" completely without some finesse of the fingers, will immediately liquefy and turn white when exposed to sweat or water; packaging is too small for the price and extended use

Works, but a gel-based version is far superior.

Pros:

This is one of the best treatment for clearing acne. It is great when you apply before you sleep and the next day your acne is almost gone. I love it and I think it is great for acne clearing.

Cons:

The amount in a tiny bottle is to pricey. When you first use it or when you use it on a new pimple, it can be a bit irritation, but it's not that bad.

This product is great and I continue to use it. It clears my skin perfectly leaving no spots. I wish the container was bigger for a better price
