Pros:

Works well. Doesn't trash my skin like benzoyl peroxide does. Smells nice. Cleared black-heads in around two weeks. Has controlled most break-out in the two months I've been using it. I don't need a lotion when using it, as it moisturizes.

Cons:

Doesn't preven ALL break-outs. I've gotten a couple cysts on my chin while using it. But for sensitive skin like mine it's been SO much better than BP. I still have a little redness in the areas around my mouth that are most sensitive to products.

Works better than I would have expected for so something that seems so mild. Is able to penetrate the pores much better than the alpha hydrox lotions I've been using for years. They help prevent acne, but dry quite a bit more, and for me, don't clear the pores unless I use in conjunction with BP. This product, however, seems to clear the pores and prevent acne without the BP. Plus, my skin is soft, and doesn't peel every twenty-four hours. Before using this stuff, the area around my mouth began to look flaky like lizard skin by around 3pm every day. Yikes.

Pros:

Really does work as a spot treatment.

Cons:

Expensive, small tube. Can be drying. I wish I could buy a larger quantity for an overall facial treatment.

If SA products generally work for you, then this one is definitely worth a try.

Pros:

Didn't cause excessive dryness

Cons:

Didn't really make acne disappear and did not see a difference in 8 hours or 2 weeks either

Was disappointed as far as a Neutrogena product. I thought it would be more reliable.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This is NOT, I repeat NOT for sensitive skin!! I have sensitive combination skin. The first couple of days I used it, I liked it, but wondered why the shine control didn't really work. However, after about a week, I had a reeeeeeeaaaally bad allergic reaction to it. My normally pale skin swelled up and turned red. My face got shiny within minutes of using this product!!! Don't use this if you have sensitive skin!!!!

DON'T BUY IF YOUR SKIN IS SENSITIVE!!!!!!
