Pros It really worked for me! It actually doesnt dry my skin out. It is very affordable. Works better than any other product Ive tried (including Proactive!) It doesnt burn at all.
Cons It takes FOREVER to start taking effect. takes a couple days to clear up a couple blemish's. took a month to finally get rid of my black heads
Bottom line It works but takes a while to take effect.doesnt dry up my skin. Affordable, and works!

Pros Does not leave my skin feeling sticky/oily.
Lightweight and fresh on my skin.
Reduces redness and smooths skin.
Cons Expensive for such a small tube.
If you use makeup, i would not recommend using this under your foundation. It causes the foundation to clump on the skin and looks flaky.
Bottom line I've only been using this for a couple of days. The morning after using this on the first night with generous amounts of aloe vera gel, my reddish bumpy skin seemed tightened, significantly smoother and slightly less red. After washing my face however, the tightness did not last, a pity there.
This also did not dry out my pimple very effectively though, because it is still there and not dried at all. BUT, it did smoothen my bumpy(nodules i think) skin, which was a relieve.
Anyway, I will try this product for a longer period and get back to review it again.
Last words: Not bad, i'm hopeful!

Pros -can clear up your skin if your more oily than not
Cons -drys out your skin like crazy
Bottom line because it dried my skin out as much as it did it ended up making my acne worse. I gave it a month too and it was a no-go.

Pros 2.5% BP, less irritating on skin, will help clear up acne, easy to find
Cons Leaves white residue after it drys, doesn't apply very easily, expensive, makes skin super tight feeling
Bottom line When first starting Dan's regimen, I began by using this BP while I waited for Dan's to arrive. I've used it in the past as a spot treatment as the product suggests. It did help clear up existing pimples, but I think it is more effective when used as a preventative measure. I prefer Dan's BP. It applies so much easier and doesn't dry too quickly, which means you can spread it around easier. Neutrogena's BP is super expensive considering you only get a small tube. But, if you are unable to order Dan's, it will work.

Pros It has not made my acne worse.
Cons It has not made my acne better. It is drying to your skin, and I moisturize twice a day. It is hard to wear under makeup - it makes the makeup look flaky. I have noticed zero difference in my acne and I have been using it for two months.
Bottom line I had high hopes for this simple formula but it's just not doing anything but drying out my skin. I still see new blemishes every day, the old ones still take forever to go away. Plus now my skin had acne and is dry and flaky.

On the positive side, it hasn't made anything worse. After two months I was hoping to see some results and got nothing.

Pros it's easy to find, benzoyl peroxide (woot woot!), fast results!
Cons it's pricey, tightens skin, itchiness occurs
Bottom line i bought this a few days ago because i had tried it at a friends a while back, and it works wonders!

redness and the protruding of acne will subside overnight, but it causes skin to become EXTREMELY DRY! use tons of moisturizer and follow the regimen.

i would recommend it, just wish it came in a bigger tube...0.75 oz for $10 is quite a lot.

Pros the BP appears to begin clearing up the skin because it seems to almost tighten the skin and reduce the appearence of pours.
Cons After 2 weeks of using this product my face began breaking out even worse than it was before. Active Ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%

Inactive Ingredients: Purified Water, Bentonite, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Emulsifying Wax NF, Polysorbate 20, Glyceryl Laurate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

Something in this caused my acne to begin almost Flaring up worse.
Bottom line At first this product was amazing, but after about 2 weeks my skin became sore and my acne flared up more than when I started using this product. I now have about 30% MORE acne than when I started using the "On the Spot" treatment.

I believe that if you have very SMALL amounts of pimples/acne then it would probobly be great, but if you are like me and have acne on the cheek area in a large amount, then its not a good idea..
