Pros it gets rid of acne REALLY FAST. and it even took care of most of my hyper pigmentation, which tends to stick around with other acne medications.
Cons it drys out my face to an extreme amount. major peeling occurs, and i constantly have to wet my face, or use a moisturizer, which makes my face turn red.
Bottom line it does the job with in a few days. and despite the cons, its worth it. i've read other reviews and it says my skin will adapt to the dryness...we'll see. i recomend a good moisturizer, which takes care of dryness, and makes almost all peeling look like its not there, but brings redness back.

Pros THIS STUFF WORKS. i'm asian, and i have oily, acne-prone skin. I've used everything, literally. I've been depressed over my acne, and this stuff WORKS. There's slight drying, but it WORKS. Trust me, my acne has improved and i've had optimal results. It's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons initial drying towards the beginning of use, but your skin will adapt to it and the conditions will alleviate
Bottom line If you have acne and you're struggling with it, GET THIS . 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, hands down.......it works. Miracle in a bottle.
Price paid $5.00

Pros clears up skin fast and after first wash you can feel it working!
helps reduce oils if you have oily skin like me
cheap and easy to get
doesnt smell bad
nice lather
Cons dries out skin MAJORLY!!
use moisturizer if skin is sensitive to benzyl peroxide!
after awhile stops working as good if washed more than three times a day
makes skin burn easier if in the sun a lot like me and can cause sensitivity
peeling and itching may occur also
DONT OVER USE!!!!
Bottom line it is a good, cheap, over the counter product to use if you have light, moderate, to moderatly severe acne and are not sensitive to the BP. make sure to use a good moisturizer, such as olay or cetaphil, though, or your face will dry out and peel. i reccoment using the cleansing pads and spot treatment. best of luck to those of you who try this! :-)

Pros Eliminates acne faster then any other brand.
Inexpensive.
Cons Causes dryness, which is expected with aggressive acne treatments.
Bottom line I suffer from adult acne. I try to switch to lighter face washes and my skin breaks out bad. I'm back using it now and it is already eliminating the acne.
I like how one user said, "no frills". There are no fancy smells, cucumbers, great packaging, just the 10% benzyl.
When I constantly use this product I have close to no acne.
Price paid $5.99

Pros It's BP, can't go wrong with that.
Gets rid of major bumps, etc
Cons Still a lot of blackheads,
my acne has gotten worse, so this is no longer helping.
2.5% BP is better, just use more
Price paid $7.00

Pros works well - stronger concentration of active ingredient than other more expensive items
Bottom line It is an expensive, not frills competent product. I am a middle aged woman who has battled acne my entire life and this product has worked well. I rarely have a major break out or large pimple since I started using this product. Some reviewers mentioned that it dries. I am older and regularly use a moisturizer - especially since I am active ourdoors - so this has not been a problem for me at all.

Pros cheap, BP!, worked well the first few washes
Cons it made my skin EXTREMELY DRY, itchy, red, caused peeling, flakiness, and acne to spread
Bottom line it worked great the first week i used it, the few pimples i had went away completely. but with normal continued use it caused me to break out all over my jaw line and i have NEVER had acne there before using this product.

Pros it works, but so so. got rid of my whiteheads.
Cons it does not work to the point you are clear of acne. still have bumps.
Bottom line it works. it got rid of my white heads, but i still have bumps on my skin. i still have acne. it stings a bit in the beginning and never ever open your eyes while washing your face with this. You will cry tears!!!

it works ok. but not the best product out there.
