Anonymous, London Oct 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dries up acne Cons: Leaves face very red and dry Bottom Line: I can see how this poroduct would work for a lot of people but the side effects of it were too harsh for my skin. I used a thin layer for a couple of nights and my face was so red and dry it looked worse than before I used it. It did dry up my spots but it dried my skin so much that my skin would "drink" my moisturizer and still look as bad. Because it made my skin so red I stopped using it after about a week so didn't wait to see if my skin could tolerate it over time. I would still recommend it because if your skin can tolerate it better, it does work on acne and you would probably see very good results!

Sean, UK Oct 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Starts to work quite quickly, oil free, easily available, inexpensive Cons: Can cause severe itching within the first few weeks of use which is hard to resist scratching, very dry skin, sometimes leaves residue Bottom Line: This stuff works and works well, however you'll need to use a mosituriser to prevent your skin from drying out and flaking.

Anonymous, houston,TX,USA Oct 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: acne free skin, less oilier, a magic happened Cons: nothing at all Bottom Line: i tried so many products orally and topically, nothing worked that best for me, i took clindamycin,differin, retin, A, antibiotics for many months, spiranolactone many months and even birth control pills for 5 months, but no use, well its right that my acne went away with tha use use of antibiotics, spiranolactone, and my skin got so beautiful and glowing with the use of pills but my acne came back, and u know there r alot or side effects using these things, so finally benzol peroxide(any brand) is working &im not worrid about using it for a long period cz it has no dangerous side effects, i HIGHLY HIGHLY recomend it Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

Linda, Fresno, CA Oct 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: clears out pimples within the first week and stayed clear for over year 1/2. Cons: first time i used, i remember it burned. then started to peel and shedding.which was expected.After my face got use to it,after maybe 2 mths it stop shedding though.your face may become oilier after u stop using it. Bottom Line: It works great for the time being, but after you stop using it, your face may become oilier since it is use to having drier skin. Your acne will disappear though, believe me it worked for me while for over about 2 years. But what I've noticed since about a year 1/2 in, my acne become for use to the product and the medicine wasn't working/as well. That is one thing i would admit, it gave me beautiful skin, spotless i am saying, but beware of over usage. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 40.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Ann, Ireland Sep 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: NONE Cons: Burns your skin, makes it really dry itchy and then I broke out far worse than I started with. Bottom Line: Do not use this product, it didn't work for me. I think in the long term it can't be good for your skin and I don't think its really going to keep your acne at bay for too long. Recommended: No Usage: Ann has used this item for a few weeks.

Bella, Beverly Hills, CA Sep 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dries up pimples. Stop a pimple in its track. Cons: Dry face with a white towel because it will bleach if face is not washed thoroughly! Better be safe than sorry. Bottom Line: My doctor prescribed it. Always put a small amount on the pimples. Do not spread it all over face because in the morning your eyelids will burn and so will your face. I use it because it dries the pimple leaving a clean spot. Only use on pimple not scars. It can redden the face. I only put it at night and sleep because it's too strong. Use it consitantly. P.S. Acne will go away when the time comes. Just drink a lot of water and eat fruits. Give up those nasty junk foods. Just makes matters worse.

Jasmine, Jacksonville, FL Aug 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works Cons: Once you stop using it every thing "pops" back up. Does lessen oily skin. Bottom Line: Its worked for me with the at first use. Then I stopped using it for about two weeks and new tiny white heads started popping up, and even on places i'd never had them on. It might work for someone else better than it did for me.

M, Bangkok Aug 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Brought out the Swelling, Eventually cleared up most of my acne to date Cons: Severe dryness & flaking, dyed my eyebrows! Bottom Line: I got this as a last hope to clear my acne up, i noticed changes immediatly after one use where all the redness had gone away in just a few hours and it was hardly noticeable I even had acne problems ! Then after a few days my face was sore and flaking and I've had to spend a lot of money on moisturising products to help my skin cope. It's great apart from that and bleaching some of my eyebrows ginger.. however I would only recommend this to people who are severely bothered by their acne cause it can be rather irratating. I was told though dryness was a side affect and it's not as bad now after using for a short amount of time. The benzoyl Peroxide itself only cost about $2.10 dollars it's the moisturising that made it so expensive Recommended: Yes Usage: M has used this item for about a month.

Kay, Honolulu, HI Aug 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my acne well, no burning sensation, easy to work with and apply Cons: I need to use a moisturizer on my face every day to prevent my skin from peeling Bottom Line: I used a Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5% with Clindamycin Phosphate topical gel 1%, and both worked wonders for my face. I tried Proactiv, Clean and Clear, AcneFree, Clearasil, Neutrogena, St. Ive's, and none really worked for my skin. With these products, the acne pretty much went away, and one pimple or two pimples come back every now and then. Ask your doctor for a prescription. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kay has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
