dries the skin
I've just started using it, so I'm still waiting on the results. they say the mask works. that ain't so true, cuz i put it on my pimple over night when i woke up there was no difference... I'm still using it to see if my face clears up. cuz i really want it to clear up

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It makes the skin feel clean and it makes it feel like it's actually working.
Cons:
It makes my skin red and blotchy for about an hour. And it doesn't smell that great.
Don't use this product, it's not worth it. My skin stayed the same the whole time I was using it. All it does it make you think it's working, but it's really not.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Works great help cleared away lots of pimple
Cons:
the price. small size tube dies off quickly!
Great product, Use it with my regimen
January 2, 2008
Pros:
Super cheap compared to most acne products with a max amt of benzoyl
Cons:
small tube that is plastic so it is hard to squeeze just the right amount out.
I have moderately severe acne that consists of mainly white and blackheads. I have stopped using my $50 a month Rx acne cream that wasn't helping my acne at all. I have switched to Zapzyt and this is the only thing that helps out of the millions of products I have tried. You definitely have to use it morning and night everyday to get clear skin but it works!

Pros:
So far the product is reducing pimples and tightening skin.
Cons:
Acne Peel (Purchased seperately) smells aweful.
I am a 29 year old African American woman with fairly good skin. But after visiting my sister in another state, my skin broke out. I don't know if it was due to the water difference or what, but I came back with pimples on my forehead, cheeks and chin. THEY WON'T go away. I tried Proactive twice, no luck. I was on my way to a dermatologist when something told me to try the "Proactive" wannabees... Especially since the dermatologist isn't covered by our insurance. So we will see!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
It didnt make mu skin any worse.

It was expensive, when I returned it the lady at the counter didnt want to give me my money back. There is also to many steps, but If it worked that would have been fine but It didnt work.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Dries painful and really bad looking pimples. It works from the first application!
Cons:
Dries skin and if you touch pimples before applying can leave scars that will not dissapear so easily.
I have almost every treatment available in the local market, but after trying this one. I ´ll stay with it. I had bad looking pimples resulting from stress at work, I used to have nice skin, imagine how bad I felt about everyone getting so close and asking what was the matter. I tried to hide with my hair, so it got worst. Because of my desparation I started trying everything you can imagine. I even got monthly money assigned for "investigation". I decided to invest some more money in this one, worth it because it works it made in just a couple of days more than any other product i tried before!!!
Pros:
NONE REALLY
