Pros:didn't dry my skin, can wear under moisturizer & makeup
Cons:a little pricey for size, didn't work that well
Bottom Line:i had been using a 10% bp product and it was drying my skin too much, so i wanted to try the acne.org lesser % bp product, but before spending too much money i went for the alternative on-the-spot cream at the drug store for a trial run.

after switching i got some more big under-the-skin pimples and some whiteheads. didn't seem to be working enough. i switched back to 10% at night but do use it sometimes in the morning under moisturizer and makeup.

Pros:It works quickly to remove pimples and doesn't leave red spots on the skin, unlike other medications I've tried.
Cons:The product is drying but very effective on my oily skin. The container is too small for the price, and I usually have to open the container with scissors to get the rest of the cream out when I'm running out.
Bottom Line:I used Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne wash 2x a day and this product once-a-day at night.It cleared my skin in a little less than 2 months. I use the product consistently once a day everyday and haven't gotten a serious zit since.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:-very effective
-non-irritating
-doesn't dry the skin
Cons:-small tube for such a high price
Bottom Line:It works. It is expensive, but that's what you will have to pay for something that works. I found that this product doesn't burn or irritate my skin nearly as much as the Benzoyl Peroxide did. It is effective, however must be used religiously. If you apply the treatment every night it should clear your skin within a few weeks.
