Pros:

visible results in 8 hrs!
goes on clear
feels like its working

Cons:

If used excessively skin becomes slightly dry

I bought this product after reading that there would be a difference in 8 hrs of applying this spot treatment. i didnt believe it and decided i would email the company complaining about their false advertising. To my suprise, there was an actual difference! It didnt completely eliminate my acne in 8hrs, but it helped considerably! I've spent hundreds of dollars on acne treatment- Proactiv, Murad, Vichy, you name it! and this is the first product that has actually worked for me! Please try it, you wont be disappointed!!

Pros:

Extremely effective, gentle SA product with a pH of 3.8 which is in the range to be a good exfoliant. Non drying, spreads easily and has 2% SA, which is maximum strength for acne control. No initial breakout. Can't praise this product enough!

Cons:

Small (1.7 oz.) bottle, so buy 2 at a time.

This product works! While the claim of visibly reducing breakouts in 8 hours is a stretch, give it 8 days and I'm sure you'll like it, provided SA is going to be effective for your particular skin type. This comes from Neutrogena, who also came out with the Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock, which is a sunblock finally made for acne prone, oily skin. Combine these 2 products and you've got a powerhouse on you're side.

Pros:

I used this lotion along with The Neutrogena Rapid Clear face wash and the sunscreen. I started using it 3 months ago and now my face is almost perfectly clear :)

Cons:

No cons really, its kind of exspensive.

Im not completely sure if it was the neutrogena, or my birth control patch kicked in and cleared my face up, because i had started that 5 months ago.. But my face is really clear now and I dont have to wear tons of conceler ! I really think this product works

Eh?
This didn't change my skin very much. It did help, but I wanted completely clear skin. It didn't clear a pimple in 8 hours- sad, I know, since there were at least 100 times when I needed that- and it wasn't as effective as I hoped. But, it did smell nice. Kind of citrusy?

Great Product.
With just two months of consistent use, this lotion has cleared my acne. My face is now clear and smooth. Initially I used it twice every day, but after I started clearing up, I changed to once a day (only at night). I'd recommend it to anyone with mild to moderate acne.

Works well for teens

Pros:

Good for teens

Cons:

not for adult acne

This is the only thing that worked for me when I started breaking out after puberty. I had tried every product and repeatedly went back to this. It helped keep my acne at bay until around my period, I would still break out again. However, I don't think it does much for adult acne.
