It cleared a terrible papule/cyst once or twice. Then my skin plateaued. Now it's about as affective as anything else really. Which is to say it's pretty useless. I recommend trying one or two bottles of it. Anything more, it will lose it's potentcy as anohter user has stated before.

I used this for a while after I had tried everything else I had ever heard of. Neutrogena was supposed to be this trusted brand, but I guess you should not expect a lot from something that is sold in the drug store. My bad and their good marketing, right? Long story short - the good points: the cost. Can't beat it. That is it for the good points. AHAHAHAH But if you want results, I would try something else. It irritated my skin and made my blemishes actually more evident because they were red and inflamed after use. I would recommend the stuff I use now instead - it is a medicated sulfur mask from Ninja. I heard about it from a co-worker and it really has been effective for me. Pretty low cost and great to use as a mask when you have time (I find I can only do it like twice a week because I am too tired at night) or as a spot treatment right before bed. It has lasted me about 2 months and I am about ready to order a new one. Great results for the cost.

Not For Sensitive Skin
I never considered myself to have sensitive skin until I tried this product. It made my skin very hot and itchy, and the area around my eyes stung from where my moisturizer had spread it. My skin was already fragile as I was recovering from a breakout, so it only caused me to breakout again in tiny, painful pimples. Apparently for some people this works?? I wouldn't use it if you're even a little bit sensitive.

Pros:

Clear

Cons:

it wakes up smaller pimples, dries up skin, and leaves scars which usually take about 2 weeks to clear up

dont buy it unless you really need to dry ur pimple, use benozyl peroxide instead.

Pros:

Reduces appearance of pimples, can be covered with makeup within minutes

Cons:

Doesn't prevent new acne, doesn't treat blackheads or skin roughness.

I have used this for only a day and already many of my pimples are smaller or completely gone! Very easy to use and is very discreet: I put it on in the morning and was able to put makeup overtop soon after. I'll see how it works in the long term, but definitely TRY IT!

Pros:

Looked nice good message, thought i'd try it out since the the Oil free Acne cleanser works

Cons:

black spots still there, I get more pimples

It probably only works on only certain types of skin

Pros:

Kind of cleared up my breakout

Cons:

A week later I still have bright red marks in the area it was applied. Spots are still tender, almost feel burned.

Would NOT recommend.

Pros:

-easy to apply
-smells ok, i guess

Cons:

-TOO EXPENSIVE FOR SUCH A SMALL TUBE!
-dries out skin
-doesn't work

I wouldn't recommned it, due to it not doing anything for my mild acne. It works on my brother whom only has the odd spot here and there.

Pros:

Clears up acne after one night next morning you see results.

Cons:

Leaves skin kind of sticky feeling.

This product worked really well. My family is seeing reuslts. I have more confidence and im going to buy another one. one of the best acne solutions i've tried.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It didn't work at all. My pimple became worse and caused more around the pimple I put it on. It did nothing for the redness, swelling or unclogging the pores.

Don't bother wasting your money. It was advertised to work and it doesn't. I was very disappointed.
