Pros:It can Reduce zits size
Cons:It irritates skin A LOT ! Also, it dries skin, leaves white residue, and bleaches eyebrows... Keep it away form your hair
Bottom Line:I wouldn´t recommend it unless you have cyctic acne, VERY oily skin and your zits are giant-sized. Only for severe acne, otherwise use the %5 one when you get a breakout.
Recommended:No
Usage:Reviewer has used this item for about a week.

Generally makes face cleaner and shiny

Pros:Dries up moderate pimples fast when applied multiple times daily. It's very cheap.
Cons:Doesn't rub in all the way, and leaves a matte white residue. Can leave skin dry and flaky when applied to sensitive areas, or overapplied.
Bottom Line:Worth it for spot treatments...I use it in conjunction with my prescription Differin and it helps greatly.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Cleared up my cyctic acne on my cleavage area., around my mouth, chin, temporal hair line, and on my neck ( where my limphnodes are). How they can appear there on my neck and in my clevage blows my mind!
Cons:Sure it dries you out but as long as you use a moisturizer you can help it from over doing what it is meant to do. I have super sensative skin so if you do too then maybe using Jergens natural glow or any daily moisturizer by them will work great.
Bottom Line:Key word is BALANCE. Help it help you.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:HappyAgain has used this item for about a week.
