Katie, UK Jul 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: clears up acne Cons: redness, burns, itches, stings, dry skin, reaction with eyes. Bottom Line: I have only used it now under a week and already it's reacted with my eyes! It seems to be clearing up the spots, but is drying my skin out so I look terrible! I got this from my doctor, and if it hasn't cleared up all my acne between a month and 6 weeks, I am giving up on it! It's not worth the pain! Recommended: Yes Usage: Katie has used this item for about a week. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

nawor, Australia Jul 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: If I was careful applying it twice a day I could almost totally prevent new pimples. Cons: Bleaches clothes Made my skin red and permanently photosensitive. Bottom Line: Do not use this product! When I was applying this I was putting moisturizer and sunscreen on twice a day and thought it was working well. I was getting very few pimples and the redness of my skin was ok, so long as I put on the sunscreen and moisturizer. I stopped using it because I was sick of it ruining my clothes. I was ruining so many clothes it was no longer worth the cost. (Hence the low affordability rating). I noticed after ceasing to use it that if I didn't put sunscreen on I would get burned very easily on each side of my nose and my skin would turn red and flake. I haven't used any for six months and I still get sun burnt very easily. In the middle of winter I can go out for 20 minutes and I will get sunburnt. I believe the benzoyl has permanently made my skin photosensitive. A Dr has told me that if I don't apply sunscreen every day I run a high risk of getting skin cancer on my face. Don't use this folks, it is too dangerous. Recommended: No Usage: nawor has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Dawn, Oslo, Norway Jul 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up skin. Can be used in combination with other acne creams/gels. Cons: Bleaches clothes and linens. If not used with care can cause skin irritation. makes skin sensitive to skin. Bottom Line: Worked well, but I find the bleaching of my clothes to make me not want to use it - as I had to use it also on my upper back. If it was only the face I would probably have continued to use it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Dawn has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
