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.

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.

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.

THIS PRODUCT IS AWFUL! IT HAS RUINED SOME OF MY BEST CLOTHES BY BLEACHING THEM OUT! IT DOESN'T CLEAR UP ACNE- IT ONLY MAKES YOUR FACE EXTREMELY DRY!!!

This product did absolutely nothing to clear up my acne and also terribly dried up the skin on and around the pimples I applied it to. Don't waste your money on this product, it does not work!

It dried out my zits and made the swelling/redness go away but it didn't stop breakouts/prevent more. Ok to use for one or two zits on the face.

The product works quite well, but be warned, it's very chalky and it was difficult for my skin to absorb it. I ended up wearing it at home because there was always a powdery residue on my face.

I have very mild acne, an extremely oily nose, very dry cheeks, and a slightly oily forehead. This stuff made my nose and forehead swell up and become all red. Also, my face got really itchy, and made previously barely noticeable acne into red welt-like patches on my face. I don't like this product. It takes many applications and days to make acne dissapear. I've given this a lot of time to work, but it still makes my skin go crazy. I give it a two because it still got the job done after many days and a lot of itchyness
