Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Contains witch hazel, an irritant.
Didn't do anything for existing pimples
Made me break out.

This product is horrible. It irritates my skin and makes me break out. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has sensitive skin for this reason. I'm not sure if it's the witch hazel or other ingredients in this product but it irritated my skin and made my acne worse than it was before. I do like the rapid clear lotion, but the gel is the worst!

Pros:

-reduced pimple size
-stop new forming pimples
-not expensive
-works

Cons:

-stings (a little but tolerable)
-small

I have only had this for a few days, but i must say it is working well. I'm a pimple popper so it does sting when i put it on an open pimple, but its is done within a second. I read the reviews on here and decided to give it a try and i'm very pleased. It is reducing my pimples but it made them kinda like hard scabs, but they are much MUCH less noticeable. I am defiantly going to try the entire rapid clear line.

Pros:

It works very well. I had heaps of pimples on my forehead and everytime I put it on it looks a lot clearer. If I don't it just makes it worse then.

Cons:

It may sting as it can touch exposed skin. And the product is a small amount.

I don't know how everyone is complaining but the product is great. It's probably a bit expensive but the product shows amazing results. You should definitely try it. Also if you get it in the Girlfriend magazine atm, it's free.

Pros:

Small, portable tube size, a little goes a long way, pleasant smell.

Cons:

Slight tingling/stinging on affected areas, but this is pretty minor unless you're super-spleeny.

I am a female, in my mid-30's, and have begun to have a frequent cycle of breakouts on my chin and jawline. This has gone on for the last several months, and it's making me NUTS. Gotta love middle-age hormone changes!!! Since the skin on my face has begun to go haywire recently, I thought it was time to add something new into my regimen to unclog what appear to be congested, unhappy pores. After washing my face, morning and night, I applied the spot gel sparingly to the affected areas with a Q-tip. The resulting tingling wasn't unpleasant; it was rather satisfying, as it told me the medication was sinking in where it needed to, and the tingling only lasted briefly. Once morning came, I noticed that the blemishes had shrunken considerably, and had dried up some! YAY! Thank goodness! Finally, I'd say: Give this stuff a whirl, what have you got to lose?

Pros:

can be worn under makeup

Cons:

burns
irritating

My skin is almost always perfect, but I recently had my very first major breakout. (about 3 very large, red pimples) I tried using this problem to get rid of them. The first thing I noticed was that it burns upon application and for about 30 seconds afterward. (I have very sensitive skin) I liked how I could wear makeup on top of it, and I could go out in public while wearing it even without makeup. (it was a little shiny, but not noticeable) After a few days of wearing it, I noticed that the area of skin in which I had been treating were getting more and more red, and felt hot all of the time. My skin definitely did not react well with the product, and the skin on my cheeks is very red and sensitive. The pimples I treated seem redder, and more irritated than before, and I have several smaller pimples that weren't there before. Definately not for me.

Pros:

you think it's working when you first try and it's exciting due to the tingling although i believe it's just a mental thing, after watching the ads and reading the packaging you would be sure that it would work in 8 hours!
it goes on clear!

Cons:

that tingling turns to intense burning after the third or forth try, it cracks and flakes the skin and for me it caused my acne to get worse! after a week i ended up with big sore, red spots all over.

i do not recommend this product, it doesn't work in 8 hours , it doesn't even work in three weeks! It burns your skin and causes more breakouts. i'm not sure why they claim 8 hours, is that even possible from any treatment!

Pros:

A very small stinging sinsation proves it is cleaning bacteria, unlike on the spot

Cons:

reddens surronding skin very very very slightly (not noticeably to others, only you because you observed the change)

Try it, it may not work for you, but I payed 4 dollars, and it was totally worth it! If you have have an extremly low tolerence for pain, I mean the slightest splinter or pinch would make you cry, this isn't for you because of the feeling you get when it cleans. The feeling is sort of like hydrogen proxide when it cleans open cuts, except it doesn't last as long.
