Pros best benzoyl peroxide product
dries fast
easy to spread and easy to apply a thin layer
prevents acne rather than treating existing acne
Cons bleaches clothes, towels pillowcases but of course that comes with any BP product
Bottom line this is the best benzoyl peroxide product i've used. the 4% strength is perfect, not too drying. used consistently with moisturizer pretty well prevents skin flakiness and redness completely. this is my absolute favorite because of how quickly it dries. i hated having to wait 20 minutes or more for thicker BP creams/gels to dry.
however, forgetting to use once or twice can bring acne back super fast

Pros Works VERY WELL with my skin...ca be purchased w/out a perscription...doesnt take months to work....visible change within a week...after 3 weeks, my skin was looking great!
Cons Pretty expensive w/out perscription...does
lighten skin of darker complexion...
Bottom line I used this product once..it worked like a charm....then i stopped cuz i didnt like how pale my skin was gettin....tried other products n they didnt work as effectively as Solugel 4. Went back to using it after about 2 yrs, and I am totally not regretting the decision!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, i have to use it once a day instead of twice.
Its a GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!

Pros It' works well. Much better than Benzac W5, Oxy, Neutrogena, Panoxyl, and Proactive combined.
Cons In my drug store it can only be purchased with a pharmasist say so and it costs much more than anything else.
Bottom line It works well for me and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with other acne products. Even though it costs a bit more it is really worth it.
Price paid $17.82

TY from Burlington, Ontario

Pros Cheap, behind the counter but no prescription needed, get it at PharmaPlus anytime I run out. No fragrance no medical smell, absorb pretty quick, 4% is mild so takes a few day to clear new ones, not too strong so no peeling all over the face.
Cons After 6yrs, none so far.
Bottom line Suffered from acen for over 25yrs, have used lots of different medication, from over the counter cream to Accutane. This is by far the safest cheapest satifying solution.
Price paid $12.99

Pros Works very consistently, I've been using it for 9 years now and recommend it often. Was suggested to me by my sister (a pharmacist) when she saw I was using prescription meds to no effect.
Cons Wish it were cheaper same price as the other zit creams. Guess they know they have something special.
Bottom line Took almost a year for it to completely clear up my skin but now I only have to use it once or twice a week. If I stop I will still get zits though. Try it and have faith in the longrun it will work and that your skin if red or itchy at the start will stop doing that once it adjusts to the cream over time.
Price paid $21.41

Pros I have spent hundreds of dollars trying doctor prescribed acne creams and over-the-counter products,changing all other products that may contribute to acne (clothing detergents, shampoo, fashwash/cream, diet)THIS IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT WORKS 4 ME
Cons It takes time to know how much you need to avoid over drying/peeling/breakouts, your face changes with seasons. Lil gritty, smelly, darker skin will show dry skin, and drying is what gets rid of the acne
Bottom line Yes, this cream actually works. Its a cheap fix for my adult acne, if I miss a dosage I am sure to have acne the NEXT day.
If you are using hairspray/shampoo coniditioner, perfume, make-up, skin cream - it doesn't matter how much it was or if it came from a good company that says free of "dyes" the stuff is crap (organic I recommend but your skin may still disagree). SO please understand you are looking for a prefect product and for it to work you need to look at other things as well and use it consistantly. I bought it at IDA for $13 in Toronto and I swear by it. BTW for my skin to avoid peeling I apply using a damp pad then add the cream on the pad to kind of dilute it and rub every needed.
