Pros:

Definantely helps to clear up the blemishes. I had majorly bad cystic acne, and its working like a dream so far.

Cons:

Made my skin reaaaallly red and dry.

Definantely use with a moisturiser! It did a pretty good job with my skin, when proactiv and antibotics werent doing it. Stick with it for at least a couple of months though, it wont do much on bad cystic acne overnight.

Use this product at night on the lesions and use a good facial cream for the dry spots

Pros:

Clears and dries up cystic pimples

Cons:

A bit expensive, dries out skin where you place it.

I had bad acne, it looked as though a cat had attacked my face. This dries out cystic pimples so they don't get worse. Apply an inch around the pimple. The percentage doesn't matter, contrary to popular belief. It's better to start off with 2.5% though. Don't apply all over your face and make sure you keep this as part of a continuous skin care routine, washing, exfoliating and toning.

Pros:

Excellent for spot treatment

Cons:

Terrible for the whole face.

Only use this product as a spot treatment. Then put moisturiser over the top where you use this product. It's extremly drying but it can clear up big acne, like cysts etc, in just 2 nights. (I only use stuff like this at night so i measure in nights)

Pros:

This wash works very well at clearing acne. Makes my face a little dry, but it is not bad at all.

Cons:

Expensive. My insurance does not cover it anymore because there are washes that contain 10% benz. peroxide over the counter.

Try it, it works. Stick with it for at least 2 months.

Pros:

Its very cheap.

Cons:

Does not work to well. Results take time to show. Makes your skin dry and red.

Its only good if you can't afford the other products.
