Pros:

- has made skin less oily
-is slowly removing blackheads
- overall clearing by skin, haven't had a breakout since I started using it

Cons:

- may cause some redness, flaking/peeling of your skin as it exfoliates, I use an oil free mosturizer with SPF 15 in the morning

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS , I did not get results until I read the instructions and used it properly, the main points are that you have to wash your face and let it dry completley for about 10 minutes, do not put on any other moisturizer , wash your hands, apply a THIN layer to your face (more is not better), avoid eye area and around lips, then wash your hands again. Brush and floss your teeth before you put it on because it creates a tight mask like effect on your face. Wash with a gentle cleanser in the morning. Do not use with many other acne products at the same time, example scrubs , masks, etc, unless your doctor told you to because it will likely dry your skin out alot.While using this gel, I always used a night cream around my eyes because the skin is so delicate. Also, be careful not to get it on or around your mouth because it tastes bad and if you swallow alot of it you may get an upset stomach. The trick with this stuff, is patience I think, the results are not insta

Pros:

Works moderately well. Progress is slow, but noticeable. Does not irritate skin or cause any itch or pain. Doesn't leave skin feeling oily the next morning like clindoxyl gel, the other product I tried. Quite cheap.

Cons:

Dries out skin, but an average moisturizer fixes that easily enough.

You must use it constantly to avoid setbacks. Works better than clindoxyl gel. Progress isn't what I hoped for, though. Still not close to getting rid of my acne altogether.

Pros:

Made acne smaller, and skin feels smoother

Cons:

skin dried, peeled, and left bad dark spots

Don't use if you don't want dark spots. The only impovement is makes bumps smaller, but it looks much worse than it is. The dark spots are hard to cover up. Hoping they don't scar and go away

Pros:

takes away the redness and gets rid of the pimples fast.

Cons:

burns

I don't have sever acne but I get alot of pimples around my chin and it gets really bad at times. I tried Proactive and it made it worse. This is the only thing that worked for me. It takes away the redness of existing marks too :)

Pros:

With constant use it cleared up about 90% of my acne. I used this medicate for close to 6 years without too many problems.

Cons:

It dries out the skin considerably, so make sure you have a good moisturizer.

This medication helped me have clear skin throughout my teenage years without any notable side effects.

Pros:

clears up skin pretty well

Cons:

takes a while to work. burning, redness, dryness and peeling may occur while using it, but is not severe.

must use consistently. don't use cover up or any other moisturizers or skin products on affected area(s). this makes skin worse and makes progress slower. (says on instructions)

Cons:

I had some acne on my back and my doctor prescribed a stronger gel. I burned, left some scabs where the spots were and left darker spots. I then began to have an allergic reaction, and after i had cleared up my rash, i had no more acne....

Burns, not for everyone, but works
