It works but it needs a lot of time

Pros:

It works

Cons:

It needs time

I have been using Benzoyl peroxide 10% for 4 months and it let my face clean (I only had some red marks) but after the summer my acne came back so now I'm using it in combination of topical isotretinoin. It works but it need time, give it 3 months. It has never irritate my skin.

Pros:

makes your face soff

Cons:

does not work
skin gets to oily
does now prevent further breakouts

this product does not work. ive been using this product for about a year now, it did clear a bit of my acne up but thats it. if you have moderate+ acne this is a waste of time for you.

Pros:

It cleared my skin! I have adult acne and this is the only product that has worked. I've tried many expensive and over the counter dermotology recommended variations of presciption strength medication, without success.

Cons:

It made my skin peel, sensitive and dry in the beginning.

This is the best over the counter wash I've ever used! It clears, break outs and reginerates your skin...give you a beautiful glow!

Pros:

-clears all types off spots
-completely clear skin

Cons:

-dry skin

It only took about 2-3 weeks to see a radical change. But to be honest it started to work on day 1! When using it your skin does dry but I promise you that you can peel it off (only when ready). You can also apply the gel before you go to bed and then gently exfoliate in the morning (your skin will be softer if you use a topical cream afterwards on slightly moist skin). I have really sensitive skin and used panoxyl 10%. On the first application your face will feel tingly and you will feel a slight twinge and stinging sensation. In a nutshell this cream has changed my life! Deffinately try it if you need a confidence boost!

Pros:

Clears acne and scars
Very few new spots
Clear complexion
Even skin tone

Cons:

Drying
Bleaches some fabrics

I've been using this for about 5 months and my skin looks amazing! I had fairly bad acne before and now I have one spot on my entire face. My skin hasn't been this clear since I was about 12! Definitely the best product for acne by far. Starts to work after just a week and my skin was clear within 2 months. I use it once a day before bed. It's very drying so you will need to you a good moisturiser. I've been using Natural High night cream which is the best moisturiser I can find to use with bp gel over here in England. Definitely give this a go!

Pros:

*Clears Up skin very well.
*Reduces Spot size and redness almost over night moderately.
*Extreamly cheap.
*Acts pratically from the moment you use it.
*Withing 3-5 days you will see results.

Cons:

*Does dry out your skin.
*Can cause buring on skin.
*does not react well to sensitive skin.

Basically I was 16 when I went to see my pharmacist about my acne, because it really annoyed me and effected my confidence in public. My pharmacist recommeded PanOxyl 5 to me and I was dubious at first after reading many reveiws saying that it causes dryness and redness of the skin, some even saying that it caused more spots to form. But I did try it and I was extreamly pleased with the results, the spots reduced in size within 4 week days which boosted my confidence greatly. Some spots do come back every now and again but not as frequently or ferrocious as with other products, and I have tried many. I personally do not use moisteriser as I don't really need it but others may do so I recommend starting off with one.

Pros:

Good I can already see a difference, and I have only been using it in the mornings. I Might try before bed as well.

Cons:

Skin does get dry but I moisturise everyday anyway, and I do have sensitive skin but this has not affected my skin at all i.e. no burns. i;m still getting big spots but I think that's to do with the headbands I wear.

I rated it 4 because the effects are slow so far.

I am black and I was wondering if other users who are the same skin colour have different effects. I know skin colour can change things and the reviews seem to be mostly from white people (please correct if i'm wrong).

Pros:

- WORKS

Cons:

- dries out skin
- kinda burns

ive been using this for a week, and it really does work! i do once in the morning and once before i go to bed. my skin has become soo much clearer. make sure you use moisterizer (sp?) though because it DRIES OUT SKIN SO BAD. but itll go away after a while, so use moisterizier. also, you might notice that your skin gets worse a little bit after you try it but would you rather have bad skin for 3-4 days and clearer skin after or just give up and live with it forever? :)

Pros:

Cleared up every zit on my face!
Cheap
Easy to use

Cons:

Bleaches pillow/towels
Dries out skin a lot.

I love it. I scrub my face before bed and apply this stuff to sleep in (on my t-zone, in a broad area). In the morning I scrub my face again (helps remove dead skin caused by the drying out) and use light moisturizer and make-up. I haven't had a zit in a month!! Have been trying to find something good for 10 years! PS - I only have light acne. Will usually have one or two big zits. This cleared it up totally.
