| 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. |

| 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. |

| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | Everything |
| Bottom line | I have medium back acne that i developed about 5 years ago when I was 20. I used 4% benzoyl peroxide for 2 months 2 times a day. It did absolutely nothing other than bleach my shirts. No redness no drying no nothing... Sounds absurd but is true. |

| Pros | Did a fairly good job of clearing pimples. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Severe allergic reaction after a week. |
| Bottom line | Product did well for a week or so then I appeared to have a puffy eyelid. Tried treating it with cortesone topical lotion but ended up at the doctors to treat severe reaction around eye (under) and everywhere I had applied the lotion. I now look like the loser in a boxing match, eyes swollen shut, top and bottom, red swollen cheeks, and lots of itching. |
