Pros:Clears all of my acne up. A pimple or 2 still comes through once a month but not a problem. Reduces oil on my face, smoothes and exfoliates my skin.
Cons:Dries me out around mouth and sides of nose, but moisturizer takes care of that problem. Certain moisturizers don't apply so well on top of this BP cream. Can only use this at night because of the white color and weird feeling on skin.
Bottom Line:This stuff works at clearing acne up, but also at preventing acne as well. I use it every night and its been over 2 years. This product works great and still fights acne even though I've been using it for so long. Smooths and evens out skin tone, just love this stuff. Too bad it can't control my pore size though.

Pros:Ok, well I use this as a combo with my cleanser. I mix it with my face wash, as I don't like the feeling of keeping it on my face all day, as it dries it out.
I got the idea from my brother's bp face wash (rx only) and it has worked well.
Cons:Dries.
Bottom Line:If you use it with a cleanser and don't keep it on it works good.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Cameron has used this item for about a week.

Pros:Eliminates and dries up pimples quickly
Cons:Also dries out the rest of your skin
Bottom Line:This is an excellent spot treatment and really helps to stop the pimples from maturing. My dermatologist even recommended it to me. I would probably use it only as a spot treatment, though as it does dry out your face fairly badly.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Clears up acne fast, fades red marks very well.
Cons:Powdery, REALLY dries out skin, do not put on facial hair (including eyebrows). USE MOISTURIZER!

Recommended:Yes
Usage:Reviewer has used this item for a day or two.
