Pros:

not too irritating

Cons:

too expensive for such a small tube

I love this product. I had a slight feeling of irritation, but it's totally tolerable and disappears in a few days. The most important thing is it ACTUALLY WORKED! It seems to prevent acnes and works great on existing ones. I'll keep using it even though it's ridiculousely expensive for me to get it shipped here.

Pros:

Great for sensitive skin, doesn't dry out skin, reduces acne redness, a small amount goes a long way, and it doesn't irritate skin like other benzoyl peroxide products.

Cons:

It comes in a small tube and costs about $5, but it does last a long time (depending on how bad your acne is).

I've tried dozens of acne fighting products. I've tried facial rubs, lotions, moisturizers, deep cleaners, and exfoliators. All of them have turned my skin red from irritation, have dried my skin out, and resulted in worse breakouts. I was about to give up on cosmetics and focus on changing my lifestyle and diet, but I thought I'd try one more product...On-the-Spot Acne Treatment by Neutrogena. A very small dab of this cream on the acne affected area will reduce the acne's redness considerably and make it disappear in a couple of days. This product has helped reduce my acne breakouts by eliminating the ones I have and keeping me from popping pimples, spreading the bacteria to other parts of my face. If you have dry, sensitive skin and other products seem to make your acne worse try this product out. It is sold in small portions, but (depending on your condition) it lasts for at least a month. Five dollars a month for clearer skin sounds like a great deal to me. Can't hurt to try it.

Pros:

-Non-greasy
-Absorbs fast
-Less irritating than most benzoyl peroxide medications

Cons:

-flakes a bit, but nothing to worry about if you moisturize.

This stuff is especially good if you have just light acne that you're trying to get rid of, but I've seen it work wonders for people who have moderate/heavy acne as well. I have to say there's a product line called CeraVe if no one has heard of it. If you use this stuff in combination with there cleanser and moisturizing cream, flakiness and irritation is no problem. CeraVe is designed to target dry, flaky, irritated skin and repair it. I was skeptical but it works, and this acne medication with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is the perfect amount to heal your skin in unison with that cleanser and moisturizer. If nothing has worked for you yet or your just starting out trying to get clear skin, i really recommend you try that combination of products. It's the least irritating, no dyes, no soap, no fragrance...I can tell you from personal experience that it's worth a shot!

Pros:

Works amazingly. It's not very harsh, either. And yes, A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY :)

Cons:

Might irritate your skin if you have dry skin or sensitive skin.

Put this on your shopping list. It is inexpensive and helps get rid of those pimples that don't seem to want to go away. It might overdry your skin if you put it on all the time, so you might want to just start at night.

Pros:

I tried this tx after it was recommended to me to use as all-over tx rather than just on the spot, and it works great that way!

Cons:

I go through 0.75 oz. quite fast and would like to purchase a larger quantity. I did hear such a package exists, but I can't remember where, so I am searching the net today to find it.

This product will clump sometimes, but I've always found a way to blend it in, with an oil-free moisturizer, and foundation on a daily basis. It has kept my face clearer than any other product. I've recommended it to my younger sisters who are struggling as I was at that age. Most important though, is to go through the daily routine of washing, treating, and moisturizing NO MATTER WHAT! My sisters don't like to wash their face before bed every night and you have to be that dedicated to get clear skin!

Pros:

Gave my skin a much smoother surface overnight. Fast acting, not nearly as drying or irritating as Persa-Gel 10.

Cons:

None.

Get it. Also, It might cause minor stinging if you have very sensitive skin.
