Pros Cheap, big, very effective.
Cons Harsh, drying, leaves red marks.
Bottom line I was on the regimen for 4+ yrs ever since i started having acne.
It worked like wonder and was very affordable.
however, starting of this yr, i started having allergic reaction to BP.
My skin became very red, itchy, and irritated after using it for more than 4 yrs.
Regimen works like wonder. However, you might become sensitive to BP after long period of time.
Be thoughful when using a lot of BP over a long period of time.

Pros -Helps shrink existing pimples.
-Goes on clear.
-Cheap
Cons -EXTREMELY dry skin.
-Patchy skin.
-Wrinkly skin around eyes.
- Did not really help new pimples from forming.
-bleaches any kind of fabric it comes in contact with.
-takes a long time for it to settle on skin.
Bottom line Let me start off by saying I have been an avid user of acne.org's BP since I was 15. It helped tremendously when I was a teen. Im 23 now and I dont know if the formula has changed or its my skin but this just isnt cutting it anymore. My skin is always dry. Mind you, I have extremely oily skin. No moisturizer has been able to help me get over dry skin. Not even trying adding jojoba oil to it. I feel BP has aged me 5-10 years. There are too many cons that outweigh the pros. Sadly, as I have been an avid supporter of this community.

Time for accutane....

Pros It works!
Cons Bleaches clothing
Takes a while for your skin to adjust.
Bottom line As a 30 year-old that has suffered with acne for 18 years, this is the best stuff out there. At first, my skin did not respond well but within a month or two, things turned around (well worth the wait!)

Pros nothing for sensitive skin
Cons my face was destroyed
not for sensitive skin
extreme redness
dryness
Bottom line at first my face started to clear up and it turned extremly red. as the week progressed, the redness became more severe and it look like i had been burnt in the sun for days. the acne was dissappearing but this couldnt have been good on my face. i mean it makes your face red and dry. i went the natural way of eating fruits and detoxing and now my face is alot better and clearing up better than ever

Pros It works well and even cleared up my razor bumps from shaving.
Cons There should be a warning about getting this cream anywhere near your lips or the soft skin near the eyes because gave me rashes in those areas.
Bottom line Do not apply this product near your lips or around the eyes as you are applying all over your face. Even though it's only 2.5% BP, it is very powerful and it can severely dry your skin if you don't use enough moisturizer.
Price paid $38.00

Pros None
Cons Dries skin a bit(mine). Does not prevent future breakouts, does little on current pimples.
Bottom line I am a 27 yo male. I recently got acne back. I have whiteheads and blackheads. This dried my skin a bit, and did nothing to stop new acne from forming, and did very little to current acne.

This junk is amazing.

Pros • It works pretty well
• It's cheap
Cons • Bleaches clothes/skin really badly
• Itchy face when sweating (during sport etc.)
• Your face will be red in the beginning, and VERY dry, this goes away later.
Bottom line This is the only treatment which worked for me. I tried Minocycline, Differin Gel and many others, and none of them worked, then I switched back to Benzoylperoxide, my face is cleaner than before! It's not 100% clean. but better than before! I use this Benzoylperoxide since 2005.
Price paid $1,700.00

Pros not over drying
gel
cheap
large tube (can use a lot)
works!
Cons can be a bit irritating
will dry you out a little bit but nothing a moisturizer can't fix
the first few weeks dried me out a lot but my skin got used to it so don't stop using it because it works!
Bottom line it works. it is irritating at first and will probably dry you out at the first few days or weeks but just use a moisturizer and keep using it because it does help with acne a lot!
