Pros:

Works really well for those with moderate to severe acne. I noticed a difference in my skin right away and saw great improvement within three weeks. Not only does it make ur face feel cleansed and soft, it smells great too!

Cons:

It does dry out your skin to the extreme. So I don't think anyone with light acne should use it.

I have had acne for over six years! I tried proactive....believe me I stuck to it and it didn't work for me. So I gave this a try and it actually helped me a lot since I have super oily skin. I put moisturizer on three times a day though so that's definitinitely a heads up! BUY SOME MOISTURIZER!

Pros:

easy to use & smells pretty good. after the first and second time you use it, you can feel it working.

Cons:

really dried out my skin & my pimples didnt go away completely. they came back after using it. it also burns when you put it on. after the second time you use it, it works less.

if you have incredibly oily skin, this would be good for you. but for most of us who dont, i dont recommend it. within a few days of using this product, my skin got really dry, flaky and itchy. this is probably best for those of you with a lot of pimples and a lot of oil.

Pros:

Cleared my Face after about a month of Use

Cons:

Dries Skin

I did take a while for this to work, but at the end it did. it does dry your skin, but you could always use a moisturizer to help out with that.

Pros:

none

Cons:

burns the skin

This product is a nightmare!!! Im a beauty therapist and have suffered with acne since the birth of my daughter. I used this product once and had a severe reaction to it. my face swelled beyond recognition and my skin looks like it has had acid poured onto it. I have been in so much pain, I appreciate that I have had an allergic reaction to this product, but all the ingredients in the product I have used before in different combinations. I would strongly recommend that no one uses this product. Its been nearly one week since using the product and still my skin is red, flaking, lumpy and extremely painful.

Pros:

Affordable & works.

Cons:

Nothing.

People say it makes their skin all flaky and stuff, but I think they're just allergic to what's in the product -- benzoyle peroxide. Many people are allergic to it.

Pros:

smells good
smooth skin

Cons:

dries skin

I think that you shouldn't just gve up on this product because after one use it made your skin dry. My mom bought me this about 2 days ago and Ive been using it morning and night since yes it has made my skin dry but I just pile on the moisturizers to make sure my skin remains not flakey. Overall my face has been clearer no new pimples. I started to panic when I first used it because I got a little blotchy by the side of my nose but it cleared up overnight, i think my skin still needs to get use to the product because I havent been using any face products for about a month. don't give up!

Pros:

The bottle tempted me to get it - so, good advertising

Cons:

A lot

I don't have acne. My skin is sensitive though, and I do breakout every now and then and get blemishes. When I used this product(on Christmas day) my skin got all red, irritated, and dried out. My face is still burning after 24 hours of applying it. It was expensive as well, and when I put my makeup on, my skin got all flaky and you couldn'y cover up all the red. This product was terrible for me, and my skin type is sensitive, I don't have acne, but yes I have blemishes.

Pros:

It smells good and feels good when using it.

Cons:

My face felt really dry and stretched out after using it. It dries up the face pretty bad. The area around my mouth, nose and mostly my T-zone are really dry and i have small rashes.

My face feels rough, i've seen no change with my acne.

Pros:

It makes your skin feel nice and clean after you use it. And it makes your skin soft.

Cons:

It's a bit too thick, so it's a bit of a challenge to rinse all of it off your face. Dries out your skin A LOT.

If you use this product with the kit, it will work wonders, but BEWARE: your skin will be begging for some lotion. This product dries out your skin a lot. Also, don't use it if you have even a slight sunburn, trust me - you'll thank me later. Personally, I would recommend it to some people, but not all.
