Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Made my acne ten times worse!!!
I have gotten the worst acne than I ever had in my life since using Nature's Cure! My roommate said it worked great for her, but not at all for me. I would atleast say try it because it worked for her and it's cheap.

i can't believe how much money these two dermatologists have made conning people into believing that their product is somehow different from any over the counter, BP-based acne treatment. don't believe the hype.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Available at every drugstore. Not terribly expensive.
Cons:
Smells funny. Doesn't 'melt' into skin well. Leaves an ichy white residue so it is really annoying to have to put lotion after and then makeup in the morning. Especially in the summer when it's about 90 degrees in DC and 100% humidity!
The white residue was uber not cool. I just bought Dan's BP and it is WAY better and I've only been using it for 2 days. The price is actually better because of the size. I use Vanicream bar of soap two times a day. I like it because it's cheap and very gentle. (About $2.85 at Target. You have to ask for it at the Pharmacy, behind the counter.) I use Dan's BP in the morning and at night. In the morning I use Garnier Noutrise SPF 15 lifting lotion and at night I use 10% glycolic alpha hydroxy brand after Dan's BP. It's only been two days but I already see wonderful results for the new BP. Being able to use BP in the morning (no more white residue from the Nuetrogena brand BP ) seems to be making a HUGE difference.
Pros:
its ok, clears up acne
