Amazing product. That's all I can say.

Pros:

It cleared me up big time.
Consistent.
Pure awesomeness. Just try it out!

Cons:

Dries me out.
Skin needs to get used to it.

I've been using this product for 9 weeks now, ten weeks after I started the 5% one. I've seen great results from the 5% but it really didn't clear me out 100%, more like 95% so I tried this out and thank heavens I did. Since using this, I've only had 4 pimples (small ones), can you imagine that? 4 pimples in 9 weeks, that's crazy! I suffer from moderate to severely moderate acne but this benzac line really saved me. I super recommend this product!

Pros:

Clears up Acne fast.
Doesn´t overdry skin.
No smell
Can use under makeup.

Cons:

Leaves white streaks if you don´t apply well.

It works! I ´ve tried everything available, Accutane, Doxy, SA, BP, home made remedies, expensive dermatologists and nothing even comes close to good as this. It cleared my acne in 3 weeks. I still have one occasional breakout, but nowhere near as bad as before. I love this product and highly recommend it to people who have tried everything.

Pros:

goes on easily, only have to use a little, no odor, works very well, doesn't seem to stain fabrics as easily as other BP preparations, comes in different strengths

Cons:

dries skin out, ridiculously overpriced for what it is in the US (still cheaper than some options), sometimes leaves white streaks on face where it wasn't rubbed in all the way after it dries

This stuff works great. It is very drying, but that's why it works. I was using just the straight up 10%, then I tried adding about 15 drops of tea tree oil to the remaining 2/3 or so of the tube I had left, which made it seem to work even better. I have incredibly oily skin, and I even found it too drying to use every day, so I use it on my entire face every other day, and then use it as a spot treatment every day (sometimes 2x for really nasty ones). It has done a tremendous job with no side-effects (other than dryness and mild light-sensitivity). It is incredibly expensive to buy in the US for what it is (about $40 a bottle without insurance, and still about $15-20 with because it isn't a generic), and doctors tend not to prescribe it over other topicals. So I just buy mine in Mexico for about $7/tube (still made in Galderma's French factory). Pretty awesome stuff.

Bleaches coloured fabrics and dries up your skin.

I've been using it for about 2 years and it works very well on my skin. I use it on my arms and on my face whenever I have a pimple.

Pros:

Works really well with a Clindets pad, but my acne came back worst than never after 8 months :( Maybe 10% is too much for me...

Cons:

Sooo redness for the first 2 months.

Try it for sure, but take the % of Benzoyl Peroxyde that fits with you, so start with a 2,5% and go highter after.
