| Pros: | get rid of my acne, cheap (on Kroger and Wall-mart's $4 list) |
| Cons: | Peeling, burns when I moisturize? |
| Bottom Line: | It works great. If I apply it with a loofah or scrubby to get rid of flakes and then moisturize right after I use it in the morning and then again at night I don't hardly get flaky at all. I thought it wouldn't work for me since I have sensitive/dry skin but i tried cause its so cheap and with the moisturizing and loofah it works fine! |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Cassy has used this item for about a month. |
| Price Paid: | 4.00 |

| Pros: | It helps you when u have a very nasty breakout, and it clears some pimples in one day, but some may stay there for a week or so, and i use it to prevent it. But i just tried a new product wich is Retin A 0.1% and its working incredibly for me!!! |
| Cons: | Irritates yoour face, sometimes itches and burns, and it decolorates clothing. |
| Bottom Line: | I would buy it as a tool, because sometimes it helps people a lot and sometimes it dosent, but it dosent hurt to give it a try. |
| Price Paid: | 7.00 |

| Pros: | Clears face, and reduces redness. Rubbed it in constantly for one night and left marge globs on open zits. The next morning my skin was VERY dry, but i washed my face and the redness had gone down by leaps and bounds. |
| Cons: | Had to use a lot, but since the one Dan makes comes in a huge bottle it didn't matter. |
| Bottom Line: | Great stuff. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Peter has used this item for a few weeks. |

| Pros: | helps blemishes fade faster, dries out blemishes |
| Cons: | bleaches towels and such |
| Bottom Line: | This product has only done very minimal for me. I'd reccommend it simply because when you have acne, its worth giving everything ago. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Holly has used this item for a few months. |

| Pros: | helps a bit and anything that helps is worth it when you have acne! |
| Cons: | takes time to work, dries out skin, redness |
| Bottom Line: | i started using this maybe 2 or three weeks ago, I definately didnt see chnages overnight, infact for a few days things got worse before they got better. This hasn't prevented me getting spots i dont think but rather just stopped them getting so big and red and helps them fade faster, seems to help clear pores too. On the down-side - it makes skin dry and red, my skin got pretty flaky for the first while but is calming down now - i'd rather dry skin than loads of big red spots. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
