Pros:makes my skin feel less oily
Cons:not exactly working
Bottom Line:ok.. so I use it a long with some acne face ultra wash of theirs, and it is sooo not working
this stuff only seems to work when I apply huge slatherings on my face at night, and it's all white and dry, and makes my skin feel better, and tight, but that's overapplying it right? see.. when I don't do that, it doesn't do anything
how do you use this
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Lucy has used this item for a few weeks.

Pros:none
Cons:itchy, overdrying, chalky, ineffective
Bottom Line:For spot treatment, persa gel is 100 times better. Zapzyt is also better. Zapzyt is not as effective as persa gel, but it is less drying. Clearasil, however, is the worst in all respects.

Pros:well...i guess it kinda worked, but onlt slightly.
Cons:umm...well, it dryed out terribly, and made the skin kinda swell, i think it also caused a slight skin discoloration on my cheek, and very ichy. i couldn't wear it out side because the cream just wouldn't absorb and formed a chalky white layer.
Bottom Line:well, maybe i could have used a bit longer, but, this is the worst reaction to any mediacation my body or just face had...
If this doesn't improve..i'll porbably go back to salicylic acid.

Pros:Clears up acne in a very short time; very effective.
Cons:Burns a lot, itchy, makes the face red at first.
Bottom Line:This product is very effective even though it might hurt at the beginning. I've found that just sticking with it will result in a great decrease in acne.

My recommendation is to USE MOISTURIZER right after applying the BP. I use Cetaphil moisturizing lotion and it keeps my skin from drying out really well.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Mili has used this item for a few weeks.

Pros:I can't say any.
Cons:It burned my skin everytime I put it on, which says 3 times a day. The large pimple I had gotten it to remove is still somewhat visible, also a redish/brownish mark around it the size of a dime that was caused by this product.
Bottom Line:I might be allergic, I don't know, but I have never been allergic to any product I injest or place on my body. Be careful if you use it, I am on 4 days with this scar on my forehead,which I hope is not perminent.
Recommended:No
Usage:Adrian has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:This stuff is alright against acne, your skin will be better with than without.
It doesn't do a lot to prevent spots, but speeds up gttting rid of them.
Also, it doesn't burn or hurt my skin, unlike some other stuff i've tried.
Cons:It's godawful itchy!
It's damn expensive,and theres more effective stuff out there.
It turned my fringe and eyebrows ginger! Horrible bleach stuff.
Bottom Line:The fairly unremarkable acne-removing effects are not worth the price, and months of bullying. Why, oh why does "ginge" rhyme with "fringe"? Do not buy it.
Recommended:No
Usage:Mike has used this item for a few months.
Price Paid:10.00

It works for me. I apply it once a day directly after showering, and I usually have no more than one or two pimples a month. Good stuff!

I use this product every day, twice a day. Like all benzoyl peroxide products, if over applied, it will dry out your skin. I use sunscreen over it everyday and that helps reduce dryness. The key to benzoyl peroxide is to keep applying consistently until your skin is clear. It will get worse before it gets better because the zits will come to the surface of the skin once they've become irritated. But once all the zits in your skin have come to the surface and healed, continual application of benzoyl peroxide will prevent formation of new pimples.
