I don't understand how anyone could give this a bad review. It comes in two different formats. One is a little bottle that imitates OXY and the other is a tube that imitates Clearasil. It contains 10% BP and in my opinion it's amazing. I prefer the consistency of the tube better. The bottle is too wet and difficult to get out of the packaging. I was using persagel for such a long time and then I found this. I haven't used anything else since. It's cheap, it's BP and it works as well as any of the more expensive brands.

Tried this because it's inexpensive, but it doesn't work. It leaves a white film on your face and it burns a bit and you still get acne. Don't waste your money.

This actually works better than the brand name (Oxy) it's trying to copy, and it's VERY cheap too.

This is simillar to Clearasil gel, though a bit cheaper. While the product is cheap and of quality, it is not useful for severe acne. If you have very minor breakouts and just need something to keep your face clean, this is good for you. However, if you have had acne, look elsewhere.
