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.

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 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
