Works fairly well i think, limited/no side effects (maybe a little dry). Fairly expensive cause in australia many antibiotics/accutane cost about $4.00, cause i have a concession card. BP costs me $20

Too harsh. Regimens with it take long. Outcomes are above average.

Have only used it for a couple of days but it is really drying out my skin. My skin gets really tight after I have applied the cream and after I wash it off, my skin is really flaky and dry. Will update in a few more days...

Works great. Doesn't go deep enough for some of my cysts, though. Unlike others, my skin has almost no problems with benzoyl peroxide (except some dryness).
