Pros:

Definitely improved my skin. It got rid of a lot of little "bumps" on my forehead and decreased the amount of larger acne.

Cons:

Dried out my skin a lot...so use moisturizer! (I recommend Aveeno daily moisturizing cream that comes in a small jar.) Never quite cleared my skin up.

One of the best products I've tried! Though I saw improvements and would recommend it, it did not completely clear my skin up and I still went through some "difficult times".

Pros:

Works well for spot treatment. Clears up acne I can feel under the skin before it comes to the surface.

Cons:

Pricey-but lasts a long time if only used for spot treatment. Very drying for all over use.

Definitely recommend it for spot treatment, not all over the face.

Pros:

Not terribly expensive. My skin didn't dry out or get irritated.

Cons:

Didn't clear up my acne! Seemed to work for the firt couple months and then my acne got worse again.

I stopped using the product and went to a dermatologist.

good
Really great product. Overnight results on mild acne. I didn't use this as a spot treatment but on my entire face before bed every night but I used a moisturizer over it! At day time I apply suncream over it.

Works!

Pros:

Dries Out Pimples

Cons:

Skin Becomes Too Immune

I have used this about two months ago daily. It worked on my skin. By the next morning my pimple would already look smaller. Unfortunately, our skin becomes too immune to certain products like (Benzoyl Peroxide).. So this product stopped working on my skin. I'm using another topical on my face for now, but I will come back to this one in a few months.

Pros:

Less iritating than salicitic acid
works quickly

Cons:

smells awful (when applying)

i am 11 years old and have acne on the high side of moderate. I have gone to a dermatolagest and the only stuff she gives me burns really bad :(. but the 2.5 benzoil peroxide works great and hardly hurts at all. TIP: thie more you use the better it gets! ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WANT A QUICK, EASY , AND CHEAP ACNE TREATMENT,BUYTHIS!!!!

Pros:

Effective and can speed up the healing process of a pimple... makes them look almost invisible.

Cons:

Flakes out so if applied and you go out it can look embarrassing (like dried out milk), sometimes it burns and dries skin.

Good Product... nothing spectacular nor miraculous... but still good. Especially if you like me get an occasional huge pimple that looks really unattractive... it has also helped me get rid of these annoying smaller pimples that I have on my chin.

Pros:

After using it the way Dan suggested I saw immediate results! It quickly cleared up my skin.

Cons:

Took the moisture out of my skin. This enhanced the appearance of some fine lines. To solve this problem I have been making sure that I drink plenty of water, and I also purchased some jojoba oil that I mix in with my face lotion at night.

I would recommend this product for anyone to has mild to moderate breakouts. It's very good for sensitive skin and you will see results quickly but don't forget to hydrate!!!

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling smooth and works fast

Cons:

Small bottle

I just started using it. My acne has not cleared up yet but it feels better. My skin is smoother and it does not dry out my skin at all. I have combination skin and severe acne. Definitely try it. It really is not that expensive.

Pros:

This stuff works. Cleared my acne, almost 90% clear now.

Cons:

dries out skin, burns if you perspire even a bit.

I didn't see results until about a month after using. Also, I started out using it in combination with Clindamycin. I would apply the Clindamycin layer first then the One the Spot treatment. After two weeks my skin was so dry, felt like it would crack! I never bothered with moisturizer though because I'm terrified of clogged pores. Instead I just exfoliated as needed to get rid of flakes. I eventually removed the Clindamycin because I hear you become resistant eventually and just continued with this alone. Be patient and consistent - this stuff works.
