Pros:

Cleared my acne to a tolerable degree.

Cons:

Still get acne, i'd say about half of what i got before, Redness (racoon eyes), peeling for about the first 4 days, very, very sensative to sun.

Works better for those with inflamitory acne or skin cell growth problems ( i on the other hand just have extremely oily skin), It made going out a bit easier but still got a fait bit of acne. Improvement is very slow. Used it for a little over 4 months

Pros:

Takes away pimple fast, noticeable results

Cons:

flakiness when used, scab

You'll notice results pretty fast, each day the pimple gets smaller and will disappear soon, but right now i have a small red mark where the pimple used to be and i hope it goes away soon

Pros:

It takes away the redness quick! Supresses the oils. The supply lasts a long time.

Cons:

Alot of skin peeling where the acne was. Nothing a good moisturizer can't fix. Rippens the acne a bit slow.

I'm using (25) steivmacin mild 0.01%14% Gel. I hope this helps you find it, it says it on the lable. Bottom line is, expect some burning it's worth it. It only happens when you apply it. When it dries it's like a facial mask, if you smile, you'll tear it appart. That's why you only apply it at bedtime! You'll wake up and half of it or most of will be flaking off your face. It's a good thing! Wash it off with warm water. Pat it dry. The redness disapears fast. You'll notice it right away. Within a week you'll notice a really big change. 2 weeks, almost all the white heads are dry. (I have a white head problem) you can pop them. The only really bad thing about this is...if you stop, you're doomed. Everything comes back like that. You can't really break the cycle. Just one annoying thing I don't like about this product is this...it actually if you use it longterm...brings out more acne. NOBODY likes that. But it sure gets ride of alot of crap from your face. All the future pimples.

Pros:

Burns and kills bacteria of existing pimples.
Free with certian health plans

Cons:

Drys and burns skin
causes flakes on visable skin
only works in the beggining

I certainly dislike this product. It worked and got rid of a few pimples in the beggining, but hasn't done much at all. Basically all this product does is burn and dry out your skin, while burning very small and few pimples along the way. When it burns the pimples, it leaves scars and dark marks. I've used this product for abo0ut 5 months now, and my acne has improved by like, 20%. (I have very sensetive&pale skin- I am 1/4 albino- so maybe it is my skin, after all everyone is different.) So, I say TRY the product at least, and see what it does.

Pros:

-Works really well with consistent use

Cons:

-Dries out skin
-Causes more breakouts in the first few initial weeks

If you stick to using it every night, then it will work. If you forget to put it on for a week, you pretty much need to start again. Get a good moisturizer ( I use Cetaphil wash and moisturizer) because you will get very dry skin. Sun Screen is important if you're in the sun. I also use in partner with Hydrophase Solugel, which I use for the mornings. Keep at it, my skin cleared right up until I stopped using it.

Pros:

wow this stuff works!!!!!
good for people with oily skin esp. of indian descent or mixed white

Cons:

takes a while to work, like 2 months, i was ready to give up but like my dermatologist told me, after 2 months my face started clearing up rapidly

it can make you a little dry so make sure to moisturise adequately

makes your skin clear! occasional pimples but no big red ones

Pros:

exfoliates

Cons:

burns, redness, flakiness

I have tried this product under the recomendation of my doctor. I had a bump like rash thing near my lip, I think from a certain lip gloss that I no longer use, and he gave me a sample of this stuff to try. I applied it once a day for 5 days and it burned the thing right off. I was left with scab that healed but geese, there must have been a better way. I figured I overused it or something. So I tried it again on a little bump on my cheek and it burnt the skin there as well. I think I am too sensitive for this product. Now I have a bunch of little bumps around the burn like mark on my cheek to get rid of. Lovely.
