Pros:

works great

Cons:

feels sticky, gets clumpy, leaves residue, feels kind of heavy, expensive

It works great but, there are a few set backs. If you are using this product all over the face it will run out very soon and feels quite heavy and takes a couple of months to see a very noticable progress.

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

Pros:

Clears up acne pretty well

Cons:

Side effects of BP
Really small tube for the price which is used up in around a week

It's currently the best I can find here, so I'm using it and it has been working well apart from my skin flaking and peeling badly the first 2 weeks.

Pros:

its clearing up my blackheads, it definitely eliminated all of the oil my skin produces, i am seeing an improvement in my complexion

Cons:

redness, stinging, itchy, very dry skin, small tube

the package does say it can bleach hair and dyed materials, however i have yet to have any problems with bleached clothing (even my turtleneck). this could be because i wait until my face feels dry following its application and then use a moisturizer. this product really dries out your skin. definitely find a good moisturizer you can use multiple times a day to compliment its use. i am using this product along with Neutrogena's moisturizer and extra gentle cleanser to complete The Regimen. there has been an obvious improvement in my complexion. my smaller blackheads are disappearing, my skin is not as oily, and areas of my face that have not been clear for years are clearing. HOWEVER following the use of all three, my face burns, stings and is very dry. also, my upper cheeks look almost sunburned since beginning the Regimen with these products. despite this, i doubt i'll discontinue using these products because my complexion is improving.

Pros:

Worked extremely well at curing my acne. Cleaned up in about 4 weeks.

Cons:

Using the regimen it costs WAY too much for anyone on any kind of budget. The tube is wayaaay too small. The white cream clumps up when sweating and the "tinted" kind looks like make-up. Not cool for a highschool freshman.

I haven't used Dan's regimen for 4 years because of the cost of this product. I just purchased Dan's BP and am awaiting it's arrival. If Dan's BP is as good as this then I'll be overjoyed as my acne has flared up bigtime. This product works extremely well but if money is a problem for you then you might want to check other options.

Pros:

Clears off my skin. I can see how the pimple gets smaller from one day to other.

Cons:

Small package and kind of expensive. It's a white cream, kind of noticible in the mornings. I cannot find it easily outside US.

It really works, but you end up spending a lot of money.

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 really works well on sudden pimples. I don't know if it speeds up the progression of them so they heal faster or stops them before they're completely there, but it works.

Cons:

It can cause dry skin if you use it too much. What you have to do is use it consistently so that your skin doesn't flake, and use only a tiny dot and rub it gently over the pimple. It will be somewhat dry but won't flake the way it does if you put a

At least give it a shot. It's a bit expensive but I find it well worth it. One of very few Neutrogena products that agrees with my skin.
