Pros:

It's AWESOME! It soothes the skin and removes dead skin cells.

Cons:

none :D

This is GREAT! I have been dealing with acne for about 8 years and there have been some ups and downs on the products I've experimented with. I would only recommend this the product to be used the way I use it for max. benefits: Use this during the day and at night use BP (benzoyl peroxide). Before using this lotion I only used BP and although that worked great for about a month the excessive dryness actually caused more and larger bumps. I am very sensitive so its been way to hard to find a moisturizer that doesn't cause breakouts. Finally I found this lotion which moisturizes.. exfoliates and contains 2% salicylic acid which unclogs pores ..prevents blemishes..and also helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles!!! Oh and also.....NOTE: ONLY use neutrogena rapid clear acne defense face LOTION NOT GEL!!!.....the gel is not good!

Pros:

Light, nice fragrance.
Really softened my face.
Seems to work!!

Really small bottle.
Not carried at Target.

I have been using this product for a week now and I have not gotten one new pimple since then. It has cleared up my existing pimples and makes my face feel really soft and not greasy. Love it so far!!

Pros:

It DOES reduce redness in 8 hours ! Makes breakouts less noticeable throughout the day, smells pretty good, and you can feel it working.

Cons:

If used too much, it can dry out your skin.

The first day I bought this lotion, I used it and the redness reduced in less than 2 hours ! It does moisturize your skin if used only once a day. If you apply the lotion and wait a good 10-20 minutes before applying makeup, you WILL see a difference. :D

Pros:

Works consistently and well. Does not dry out skin and helps prevent breakouts better than most products. Helps to unclog pores.

Cons:

None so far.

I would really recommend this product above most other BHA and AHA products beacuse it is gently and effective. Be sure to combine it with a gentle cleanser and toner. I use Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Face Wash and a non-alcohol cleanser.

Pros:

Not sure if it works in 8 hours, but this product was the only thing that has noticeably improved my acne.

Cons:

Small bottle. Product was discontinued in my area :(

This was the only product that has worked for me! I have used this in conjunction with Neutrogena's on-the-spot BP cream for maximum effect, but the lotion does work great on its own. I thought my acne was impossible to get rid of until I bought this lotion on a whim about six months ago. Now after my skin is clear I am finding that no stores in my area stock this stuff! Switching to another similar looking Neutrogena acne lotion made breakouts return full force in a matter of 2-3 days. I wish I could find this locally again, I hate to have to order it online. The stuff is pricey enough as it is. If you can find this lotion I would recommend buying some. Be patient and in a month or so your skin will look much better. Size and frequency of acne is greatly reduced (I am referring to cysts, I don't get many blackheads) and scars and skin tone also improve!

Pros:

-makes skin soft&smooth
-pleasant smell
-prevents pimples
-gets rid of redness really good!

Cons:

none really.

I love this(: it makes my skin uber soft and smooth and really does help prevent,&treat pimples. Gets rid of facial redness pretty quick. Its just really hard to find a good moistuizer for acne prone skin that wont make me oily/breakout. I have clear skin right now(has been for months and im SO happy!) and this is part of the reason. <3

Pros:

keeps skin from getting oily all day

Cons:

doesn't clear or prevent acne

this doesnt clear up acne, but it keeps skin from getting oily, so its great in the summer. I use this with an acne wash even night, and it doesnt dry out my face at all. I also have oily skin, and this took away all the extra shine!
