Anonymous Feb 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap and doesn't take long to see the limited benefits. Cons: Makes the skin very dry. Bottom Line: This douse not work. I was told that I needed to wait a little while to see benefits and they never came. It did make my acne a LITTLE better but not much. If you have you have cystic acne head striate to the doctor because no over the counter treatment will help. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Leah, USA Feb 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works great and works fast Cons: Very drying if used on entire face. Bottom Line: I love this stuff, I use the Clean & Clear brand. It literally clears up a blemish overnight. I use it just for spot treatment because it's real strong and will dry my face out and make it look red if I use it all over my face. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Gave a good peel. Cons: Left me with brown patches especially on my forehead. I became allergic to it after several months and had to quit. I did not have particularly sensitive skin before using this product, now I do even after discontinuing a year ago. Bottom Line: USE SUN PROTECTION EVERY DAY! Come winter, summer, on sunny, rainy, snowy...every single day...Otherwise you will end up with sun damage. If you can't commit to that, don't use this product. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pros: Clears acne ......eventually Cons: Acne returns with inconsistent use and in stressful periods AND ALSO on other rare occasions for no apparent reason. Bottom Line: Worth a try if you are persistent and patient. Guess what it just might work!! Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 6.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

JS Jan 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It clears up acne FAST Cons: It left my skin with a red burning flaky rash that i have heard reports of will not go away for months. Bottom Line: I hate this. I looked at the rash i got, and immediately threw out the tube. It is unsightly and will not go away for a long time. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL! Recommended: No Usage: JS has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 4.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Hanna, Toronto, ON Jan 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: gets rid of and prevents acne Cons: makes skin a little bit dry Bottom Line: I have had acne since i was about 14 and i am 21 now.... i have visited several dermatologists and been on many different treatments but this has been the only one that has done such an efficient job at preventing and getting rid of moderate acne.... i use 5% twice a day and the only con is that my skin feels pretty dry but considering how much it has helped with my acne it's well worth it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Hanna has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 16.99 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pros: makes skin more matte/drier, makes breakouts less severe, prevents white heads Cons: can dry skin out if you use too frequently or if you already have skin on the dry side. Bottom Line: Definitely give it a shot. I do not have severe acne, but I have extremely oily skin and I'm very prone to white heads. I am applying 5% gel about once a day and it already seems to be working. It makes my skin nice and drier, which is a plus for someone like me who has extreme oil production. If you have dry skin or somewhat dry skin, this medication could make you peel, so either seek a lower dose or use less frequently. It won't change oil production if you have greasy skin. I'm also taking spiro in order to combat that. I have a 60g tube gel which I paid about 18$ for. My insurance, United Health, didn't cover it so I was debating on not getting it since I didn't even know how it worked and 18 isn't something I just want to throw away. Glad I tried it. A tube will last a long while too. You shouldn't have to apply it to your ENTIRE face, just the affected area. On me that's just the chin, nose, and maybe some forehead. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 18.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Alex, Kansas Dec 30th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Easy, Cheap Cons: Drys skin a little bit. Bottom Line: Used with Retin-A micro and Sulfameth - 100% clear acne in a couple of months. Recommended: Yes Usage: Alex has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Melissa Kay B., Las Vegas, NV Dec 24th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my acne completely! Cheap I have my own prescription of 10 percent BP, but I also found the 10 percent BP at the dollar store!! Cons: Can leave your skin sensitive, burning sensation, more sensitive to the sun and becoming sunburnt. You definately need a high SPF when you go outside. Bottom Line: BRedness usually goes away after a few months of using it. Your skin is able to tolerate the side effects after using it for a long period of time. I recommend using it every other EVENING before you go to bed, then build up to using every single evening. If you use this during the day, it WILL make your skin experience the side effects to a higher degree! Recommended: Yes Usage: Melissa Kay B. has used this item for about a year.

Pros: It does get rid of acne - by flaking off your entire face. Cons: Makes your skin sensitive, red, flaky, burn Bottom Line: While using this product to clear acne I went though many nights of my skin burning, itching and peeling to extreme amounts. Even moisturizing wouldn't stop the peeling. I was prescribed 10% off the bat from my doctor (which may be part of the problem). At least a year or two later my skin has been having rosacea-like symptoms (which I am 100% sure are due to the benzoyl peroxide). Although it is a fast acne solution, it really takes a toll on your skin. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
