I would buy again. Wish it came in a larger size. Most stores seemed to carry the 5% and not 2.5% and found myself having to buy the stronger product more often.
Pros
It works. Doesn't contain alcohol.
Cons
Small bottle size makes this somewhat expensive. I bought a new container each week.
I've been using this for over two weeks as recommended by the Regimen. This product definitely worked but I'm going to try Clean & Clear Persa-5 with 5% BP because I feel 2.5% is not strong enough for cystic acne. If you have light acne you should try it out. I don't rate it more than a 3 because I still break out.
Pros
Helped drying out and reducing acne on my problem areas
Cleared areas with light acne
Reduces redness and inflammation.
Cons
Did not prevent acne
If you put too much there will be white residue
Very small bottle for the price
Flakiness
Not strong on papules and cysts.
Does not do much on hyperpigmentation
moderate
for a few weeks
$ 8
I recommend using this treatment.

this is a decent product that works well if you follow the regimen exactly, and if you can deal with the annoyance (and occasional embarrassment) of having flakes/peeling skin on your face that you can't see (and can't touch!). if you use jojoba oil it will help!!
Pros
works well when used according to dan's regimen; 2.5% BP formulation available; not too expensive (about $15 for a month's worth); doesn't burn too badly even in the first weeks; widely available.
Cons
chalky white residue before you apply moisturizer; after you apply moisturizer it ends up looking and feeling like peeled skin; flaking/peeling is very noticeable.
moderate
for a few months
$ 6
I recommend using this treatment.

I started getting bad acne in my T zone at the age off 33. Nothing was working. I bought this and apply a VERY small amount to my T zone and follow the regimen morning and night. I cannot remember a time when my skin has been this clear in the last year and the only thing I have changed in my daily routine is adding this product.
To combat the drying effects I add some Argan oil after applying under my regular moisturizer (argan oil has similar sebum regulating qualities as jojoba)
If you have light acne I highly recommend this.
Since I use such a small amount I think this will last me a good 8 months.
Pros
Great for fair, sensitive skin
Cons

Superior to Neutrogena On-The-Spot, Inferior to a gel based benzoyl peroxide.
Pros
It has a very light feel to it and feels good going on. I really enjoyed its "payoff" as they call it in the cosmetics industry--it's been formulated to really feel nice upon application.
Cons
Small bottle (25mL, .8oz) is gone before you know it. Dries white in patches. This whiteness goes away after moisturizing, but the whiteness can come back after perspiring, much like other creamy lotion based BP.
light
for about a week
$ 7.5
I recommend using this treatment.
