Pros:

fades pimples, clears skin

Cons:

dries face but only a LITTLE bit, burning. i also warn everyone DONT PUT THIS NEAR YOUR EYES because if you apply it anywhere near them, it burns a LOT. especially if you are wearing eyeliner or mascara, it can be very painful. thats about all

i have moderate acne. i use this along with a mild retinoid and also im on doxy. this works VERY well it has made a lot of difference since i started using it. i use it all over in the morning and sometimes as a spot treatment during the day.

Pros:

Dries painful and really bad looking pimples. It works from the first application!

Cons:

Dries skin and if you touch pimples before applying can leave scars that will not dissapear so easily.

I have almost every treatment available in the local market, but after trying this one. I ´ll stay with it. I had bad looking pimples resulting from stress at work, I used to have nice skin, imagine how bad I felt about everyone getting so close and asking what was the matter. I tried to hide with my hair, so it got worst. Because of my desparation I started trying everything you can imagine. I even got monthly money assigned for "investigation". I decided to invest some more money in this one, worth it because it works it made in just a couple of days more than any other product i tried before!!!

Pros:

I love the product, I already see a difference and the pimples have gone down only after a few days.

Cons:

Dries your face if you dont use a moisturizer

Essentially, I used this product about a year ago and it worked no problem and kept me clear for about 8 months. All of a sudden it quit working and nothing would work, so I switched and kept switching items. I then went to the extreme and ordered proactiv (what a mistake that was!). My face broke out after a weeks use of that crap, apparently I wasn't the only one. After that I went back to this product and it does the trick everytime!!! I am so happy. I can now walk in confidence and not have to hide it! Especially being in the military does require you to be at your best.

I just bought this product today and applied it about an hour ago after using the acne wash . my face feels alot better already although it was really dry but luckily the acne wash came with a oil-free moisturizer that made thinhs ALOT better . i am going to continue using this product along with the acne wash & moisturizer . - - i don't recommend using this if you have sensitive skin .

Pros:

Clears up acne quickly!

Cons:

Causes dry skin, but worth it!

I've been using this product for a few days and I've seen a dramatic difference. I've tried ProActiv and prescription medications, but this has been the best product so far.

Pros:

It really works!

Cons:

Dries out skin like crazy, bleaches towels, sheets & clothing if you're not careful.

After paying waaay too much money for Mario Badescu products and having them break me out worse than ever, I needed something strong & effective to clear me up. Even with make-up, it was obvious I had bad acne because my face was covered with huge, bumpy cysts and pimples. I spent a weekend at home & applied liberal amounts of this three times a day. I didn't wear make-up & kept my hair out of my face. By Monday, my skin was dramatically better. It wasn't perfect, and it was extremely dried out (but I expected that), but the bumpiness was gone. Since then, I've applied it only at night, along with using tea tree oil as a spot treatment, and my skin has improved ten-fold. It's not perfect, but it's more effective than other products that cost a lot more money.
