Pros:Clears Face Up Quick
Cons:A Little drying, but not bad
Bottom Line:The key for me was to use this after I shower, and NOT with water.

At first, I used it in the shower and lathered with water as directed, but that didn't help much.

So now I use it after I get out of the shower and my face is all dry, and just rub it onto my face, and let it sit for a minute or two. Then I rinse. Good luck!

Pros:Gentle, Quick/Easy to use, it WORKS!
Cons:Drying, Runny
Bottom Line:I am VERY sensitive to benzoyl peroxide but its the only thing that has kept my skin clear. BP creams/gels are often too irritating, leave me shiny & i have to avoid touching my face because of bleaching.
This product is simple, i wash my face with it morning & night, then moisturize with cetaphil & i'm good for the day! I saw improvement within the first 3 days. My face is completely clear & my clogged pores are disappearing. I thought the wash wouldnt work because it doesnt leave the BP on my skin for long enough but thats proven wrong because i see a huge difference,
Its gentle, easy to use and rinses easily and completely. There are minimal ingredients in it which is good because there is little to no irritation.
The only cons is that its drying which is common with any acne product, but with a good moisturizer (which should always be used anyways) there is no problems with dryness. The product is a little runny which makes it rinse easily. With a pump dispenser it would b

Pros:It helped my acne, but did not rid my face of it. It keeps it under control, meaning you probably won't get huge red zits often. It also makes the acne looks less red (if it is).
Cons:Slightly dries out skin, but it isn't a big deal.
Bottom Line:Keeps acne under control and makes your skin look better.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Cheap. Lathers/foams up only slightly.
Cons:extremely runny. May be too harsh for sensitive skin.
Bottom Line:Lathers up only slightly with tiny bubbles thus cleaning your skin without completely removing all of your skins natural barriers. So far this product seems to be effective in controlling my light acne.
