It's alright
It worked good for a while, no miracle results but it did help. It worked best for my back acne but it helped my face as well. After a while though it stopped working and I haven't repurchased since. It's worth a shot though, it's one of the better drugstore acne treatments out there.

You just have to know how to handle it
I use this not as a spot treatment but all over my entire face.. because my entire face is one spot of acne. As far as BP creams go, this one is great. It dries you out, but that's what it's supposed to do. As long as you moisturize about 10 minutes after using it with something like Cetaphil facial moisturizer, you shouldn't experience any dry spots. It's also worth mentioning that your skin has to get used to the strength of the BP, which can take several days of use. As far as whether or not it works, I'd like to think that it does. It definitely seems to help bring my pimples to a whitehead when they're deep and inflamed. For me, it doesn't really prevent acne but it at least helps shorten its lifespan.

AWFUL!!!!
The first day I tried this product it helped clear my skin up a little bit but left me with these odd dark patches of dry skin wherever I applied the product. The dark dry patches weren't all that noticeable at first but the second time I used this product and woke up the next morning to wash my face off I noticed my cheeks were completely discolored and dry from this product! It has been several days and my skin is still peeling and looking oddly darker in some places! Please do not buy and waste your money!

Pros:

*works~This is essentially what cleared my skin!
*cheap
*not chalky

Cons:

* I did have a bit of dryness for a while so definitely use a good moisturizer.
*may pill up if you put your sunscreen over it too soon

It sinks in well and doesn't leave a white cast. (Apply this to a damp face )This cream didn't irritate me as bad as other OTC BPs I've tried~that might be why it actually worked on me. I also never increased the dosage to more than a dime sized dollop for each problem area (for me the whole cheek area). Consistent use, a good AHA, & in 2 months my skin was clearer than it had been in 10 years. I'm using this about 2-3 times per week at the moment for maintenance.

Pros:

-Um...dries clear?

Cons:

-Weird consistency
-Doesn't work!

I used this for about 2 weeks without seeing results. I would apply it to my spots and it would pretty much do absolutely nothing. After going online and reading reviews, I went and returned this crap for Clean and clear Persa-gel 10. OMG what a difference. Seriously, don't waste your money on this stuff before exploring other options!

I used to swear by this acne treatment, but after a few times it irritated my skin. Do not use is your face is super sensitive.

Pros:

Clears up skin literally overnight
Dries Clear
Great Value

Cons:

Smells HORRIBLE!
Stings slightly when first applied

Overall I really liked this product. It literally cleared up my acne overnight and killed the few pimples I had while on the regime. It comes in a 1oz tube and for $5 I think that is a great value verses the Neutrogena On the Spot treatment which is $10 for .75oz. My only gripes with this product are that it smells so terrible, it's really overwhelming when first applied. Also it stings slightly when you first apply it, at least for me. I never had this issue with the Neutrogena but it was nothing to bad and it subsided within a couple of minutes. Overall I'd recommend giving it a shot if you are sick of the high price of Neutrogena's formula.

Pros:

found in stores
doesn't clump
no white residue
effective

Cons:

expensive for 1 oz.

I used this to start the Regimen. It works the way I expected it to--my skin cleared, got a little itchy, felt rough, then cleared again. It hasn't stained my hair or pillowcase, but that could just be the way it works with my chemistry. I like that it's a gel because it's easy to spread. It was also convenient because I just went to a store and pick it up. It's a nice tube to travel with, but I'm probably going to buy the 16 oz. acne.org BP bottle because it's cheaper. I'm giving it a 4/5 because of the price per ounce.

Pros:

-Dries up pimples
-Can reduce redness

Cons:

-Can also worsen redness
-Didn't really make my pimples go away.

I've actually been using this product for about 2 weeks, & when it comes to a spot treatment, I usually expect for it to work much faster. Well, it's been 2 weeks, & it does dry out my pimples, & makes them flaky, but has failed to actually make them go away. Maybe if I use it for a few more weeks I may get some results, but my tube is almost gone, so I think I will try something else.

Terminator 10 For Neck Acne
I've been using Terminator 10 for about 6 years now. I started using it because of the bumps on the back of my neck. I get the bumps from cutting my hair really close once a week. I understand a lot of African American men and women have this problem. Terminator 10 works great. It's truly rare when you find a product that actually works good. I have to apply it everyday, but that's okay with me. So don't wait, the acne on your neck can quickly become out of control if you don't treat it early. Terminator 10 is the way to go! Thanks for reading, Rod
