Pros:

Clears acne, leaves skin soft and smooth. Effective on both face and body.

Cons:

Can be drying.

The 10% can be a little drying but overall an excellent product. I would recommend trying the lower dose first. I've also found this is great for shaving. Leaves a lot less irritation and reduces ingrown hairs.

Pros:

definitely made me break out less.

Cons:

dries out skin alot.

this product works. i have tried everything from SkinID to proactive to the Murad system, but using those products, I still woke up with new breakouts everyday, as I have been for years. I have oily skin and finally figured out I need something that dried it out. I bought Panoxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide foam wash [same as the bar] and it did just that. sometimes it is good for products to dry out the skin. that's one of the only way to get rid of the pimples. once and a while i would use moisturizer so my skin wouldn't be ruined. I use panoxyl everyday, twice a day for the past 4 months. right now after i wash my face with that, i apply Palmer's Skin Success Eventone Fade cream for my acne scars. I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and haven't had a breakout at all. seriously. i haven't woken up without a new pimple forming for years, so i have been very excited about this recent development.

Pros:

odorless, rinses clean, gentle, BP, cheap

Cons:

The bar gets slimy after a while:)

I love it. Whether or not it is what is helping my skin, I trust the soap because it doesn't burn though it has BP. Moisturize.

Pros:

I really like the product. I have had only one pimple since I started using this product. I am really oily and have not experienced the drying that I have read in the other reviews.

Cons:

None

I have been using this product for two weeks. My doctor said to make sure to wear a sunscreen while using the product. FYI I am an African American female.

Pros:

IT WORKS

Cons:

It drys the skin out bad

This product is good. Its strong, be careful if you have sensitive skin but it will dry it out. But it did really help clear my acne up! I have used it a couple times and had to stop because it dried my skin too mad. However, I think it you use a good moisturizer you could be good!

BP or Sulfur for Acne?
I started using this soap and it worked in the beginning however my skin didn't react well to BP. So my Dermatologist recommended using a different active ingredient such as sulfur. He suggested using Joesoef Skin Care Sulfur soap 10%. After the first day I can see and feel the difference in my complexion. It's been 3 weeks now and my break outs have diminished even during my pms which is amazing. I've also added into my skin regimen their Joesoef Acne Sulfur 6.6% drying lotion, which I use as a spot treatment targeting my break out areas. I leave it on overnight for maxium affect. These Sulfur products are a must have and worth every penny. I haven't been back to my Dermatologist in months.

Pros:

It helps... Obviously there's no cure. can't afford accutane so I buy this.

Cons:

Its not the cure. But better than anything else I've wasted money on.

Try it. If you actually have acne.

GOOD GOD, STRONG
This should not be your daily acne therapy, but in a desperate pinch, it can be a minor miracle for a few days.

Pros:

Very strong.
Starts working within the first 5 uses.
Keeps skin fairly clear.
Affordable.

Cons:

Intense, expect drying.
Can bleach clothes, towels, etc.

Please buy this product if you haven't tried benzoyl peroxide at a 10% concentration before. This product has helped clear up my skin so much, about 90%! I didnt think any cleanser would really make a difference, but this one does. I have tried tens of products that all suck. Now i use cetaphil to take off my makeup and then use this to kill acne and it has been a great system for me so far. I have really oily skin so the drying isnt bad at all, if you dont have an oil problem invest in a good moisturizer before you try this product. Good luck! There is hope!
