Anonymous May 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up skin quickly, and keeps it smooth. If you mix it in with lotion, it won't dry up as much. Also, it's very cheap, and works just as well as the name brands. Cons: I finally figured out what has been bleaching my sheets! Thanks guys, but I've been mixing it with cocoa butter lotion, so it doesn't happen anymore. Other than that..none. Bottom Line: Try it, it's good :) Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 1.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Strive To Resist, Beaumont, CA Apr 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dries up pimples, has already started helping some with my under-skin red bumps (nodules?), VERY cheap Cons: Dries skin, leaves light white film (hidden when used with moisturizer) Bottom Line: I bought the maximum strength (10% benzoyl peroxide) and it has worked wonders so far. Yes, it dries my skin out, but everybody knows that BP does that, which is why everybody reccomends moisturizer. I put it on in the morning after cleansing and then apply moisturizer which eliminates the visible white film and helps with the itching it sometimes causes when your skin is not quite used to BP yet. It's extremely affordable (I got it for around $1 at Wal-Mart). My acne is clearing up nicely, it's even helping the acne under my skin (nodules?). BP is the best thing that will ever happen to you (IF your skin can handle it - not reccommended if your skin is EXTREMELY sensitive - mine is sort of but not that bad). Recommended: Yes Usage: Strive To Resist has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 1.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Cookie, Memphis, TN Dec 21st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It works when other acne medications did not. Cons: It will fade clothing and bedding, badly. That's what I really hate about it. But it has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide it fades anything thats colored. So be careful of where you put this stuff. Recommended: Yes Usage: Cookie has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

amanda, frankln twp., nj Oct 23rd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It dries up acne, keeps skin from getting too oily. its really cheap Cons: Can cause redness and peeling. Bottom Line: Good product for the price. I use it at night and by morning my face looks a lot better despite the dryness. It should be used with a moisturizer. Recommended: Yes Usage: amanda has used this item for a few weeks.

Tweety, NC Oct 13th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up the skin Cons: burns the skin and gave me a rash from hell. had to go to the emergency room the swelling was so intense and the pain was so bad. I used it as directed and followed all directions. Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, it burned my face, gave me hives and caused severe swelling of my eyes, face and throat. When I asked WalMart what all was in it, they didn't care and said "oh well". I wouldn't recommend WalMart products to anyone... not after having the horrifying experience I had! Recommended: No Usage: Tweety has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 3.95 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Michigan Oct 8th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I've used this at night for years (the cream or gel) mixed with aloe vera gel or other face mosturizers. It feels like a lotion on my face (not drying at all) & clears the acne too. Has worked far better than all the other products I've tried. Cons: It can bleach clothing/bedding. It does have the "benzoyl peroxide" smell, but that can be diminished depending on the lotion it's mixed with. Bottom Line: Try it! You will probably be surprised, as I was, that a mosturizing lotion can help clear acne! Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 3.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Ms Lori 33, Charlotte, NC Sep 13th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This product really drys up pimples fast. It works and has not made me break out worse like some other products like Pro Active. I love it & it's a great price. Cons: It really drys the skin, so I suggest a good facial lotion such as Purpose or Oil of Olay for Sensitive Skin Bottom Line: This product is good for moderate to cystic acne and it's inexpensive. Use it every other day if your skin is sensitive or weekly with a great oil-free fragrance-free moisturizer. If you have african american skin, I'd recommend seasonal chemical peels to clear away the dead skin cells. You'll have beautiful skin again over time. Maintenance is key for acne prone skin.

Kim, Rogers,Arkansas Aug 12th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works really well. I tried Neutrogena to Pro-Active and none of those treatments worked for me. I wasted hundreds of dollars and Equate is inexpensive and dependable. It helped clear up my acne and get rid of scars too! It works fast! Cons: Does act like bleach. Be careful with clothes and bedding! It dries my skin too so to help prevent that I put lotion on before applying the medication and it helps keep my skin moist! Bottom Line: If you need a cheap,effective treatment for acne. I would definately recommend this. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kim has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 3.95 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?
