Pros:

I am still waiting for dan's gel to arrive so I bought this In the meantime. It seems to work well! Doesn't dry any more than dan's does and it goes on clear and doesn't clump with make-up. Tip for those of you who wear make up, pick up the body shop

Cons:

It's a bit thicker than dan's and therefore a bit harder to spread on. Also,a smaller container. I think I've been using a lot less than dan's.

I'd recommend it. For those of you who say it's drying, you really have to start slow. This drying effect happened to me with dan's gel when I started using it. It's just the way bp works. But once you've experimented with what threshold your skin can take, you'll settle in to a routine and it'll work great!

Pros:

I can see immediate result by the next day. But I do not recommend for long term use.

Cons:

This is why, it is very drying when use for more than a week and if I follow Dan's dosage, my face will look "burned" which red brown dried skin. I have to use much lesser but it will be less efficient if I use lesser.

I do not recommend for long term use. If there is a better choice, do not use this.

Pros:

It really works. My skin is more clean and fresh-looking. My acnes aren't COMPLETELY gone though.

Cons:

Ok... this didn't happen to me until TODAY. MY FACE BURNS SO MUCH. I have used this stuff before... like a few months ago. Same thing happened to me after I used it for about 5-6 days. I tried it again this time and it happened again.

My face definitely improved, however I don't think I'm going to try it for the third time. I mean it burns my skin. First time, my skin was so dry, but the second time I used some moisturizer.. so that prevented from occurring. Anyway... I think I'm gonna try to find something that is more natural...something that won't burn my skin. Hopefully there is one, cause I absolutely HATE acnes. I mean... who doesn't?

Pros:

i got this product by prescription by my local doctor, it clears your acne fast and effectively.

Cons:

I think the doctor had a grudge against me, a way of tryin 2 prescribe me something that would BURN my f****** face off ! this stuff is lethal i tell you, if you have sensitive skin then dont use it ! it turns your face SO dry and flaky

from wat i see this proudct has ad the same reiew over and over again e.g - dry flaky burnt side effects, i dont even no why this stuff is rated to b the best treatment 4 acne cuz reely its like puttin f****** acid on yuor face.i used it 4 bout a week and my face was bone dry with big brown patches of dry dead skin....took alot of vaseline to get my face bak in shape, but after, it was nice n smooth, BUT never again will i use this loada sh*t cuz it just aint worth lookin like a dry ballsac wen u wana go out and enjoy yourself.

Pros:

Good smell to it.
Cheap

Cons:

Makes your skin RED RAW, whcih for people like me, who have pale British skin isn't nice to look at! Looks like iv'e been sun burnt around my mouth.

It is a good product, I've been using it for 3 days now and my forehead had cleared up quite a bit. Not liking the redness though! :(

Pros:

It works good for about a month, but then you start to notice red mark scars skin after a while

Cons:

leaves skin dry, and if you don't have dark skin, like me, it leaves red marks where the acne was. its a chemical, it damages your skin!

don't be mislead by the great results after about a week or 2, because it leaves marks. stick to tea trea oil blemish stick, it works exactly the same and as quick, but doesn't scar because its all natural. use vitamin e moisturiser aswell.

Pros:

sort of prevents new spots

Cons:

seriously red, irritated and dry skin months after using it and spots still coming.

i have mild - moderate acne and it works to prevent spots in some areas of my face but in others they just keep coming and i have been using it for 2months + !! my skin is so red and tight and discoloured from it - i may switch to only using it at night and see what happens. dissapointed with it really though :( however, i know alot of people have had a lot of success with it. Maybe my skin is just too sensitive. I recommend to try it and see otherwise you won't know.

Pros:

Smoothes skin and de-greases oily skin

Cons:

redness, irritation and flaking

After using a very small amount for the first time, I woke the next morning to find I looked like I had sun burnt. My skin was sore and irritable. Although I suffered these side effects I persisted but used even less BP or gave myself a break inbetween days. After 2 weeks my skin is much smoother and less oily, however I still have a few spots and skin is flakey. It's worth a try but maybe not for those with sensitive skin.
