Pros:

Cheap (Free on NHS)
Works
Gel Consistency

Cons:

Can be drying at first

I have to admit that I always talked down this product as my memories of it are from about 10 years ago before I incorporated it into the regimen. I started using it as back up for when I ran out of Dans stuff but I can see myself moving over to this full time. I just like the consistency a bit more and it seems to work just as well.

Pros:

skin looks better after first use; not neccessarily clearer, but better. after about two weeks you will notice that less new spots are occuring.

Cons:

i almost gave up on this because i developed a rash under my bottom lip because of this. but if you rinse well, and make sure none is left on, you should be able to avoid red irritated flaking skin. try using it in the shower.

good stuff. make sure to rinse well. It doesnt eliminate acne, but it does control it pretty well. my skin looks better than before.

Pros:

works!

Cons:

drys skin a little so you have to apply moisturiser but not straight after you apply it or it wont work as well! if you have sensitive or dry skin only apply it once a day, mine was perscribed to me by my doctor so i know i have the right treatment!

works well, just don't apply it as much if you have sensitive or dry skin!

Pros:

Really helps oily skin and de-angries pimples.

Cons:

Causes peeling + redness initially.

I think you just need to give your skin extra time to adjust to this product. I jumped in the deep end, put too much on and ended up looking like a flaky satsuma plum... I didn't have bad cheeks acne wise, so I stopped using it on them for a while but broke out; I started with a tiny tiny tiny amount and very sneakily buit up to the full amount, which now doesn't bother my skin in the slightest. My forehead didn't seem to mind so much, was full of gunk, I think the PanOxyl was spending it's time attacking my acne and not irritating my skin =D My skin is getting exponentially better now that I've found an balanced and amicable relationship with my PanOxyl :)

Pros:

Good for mild to severe acne

Cons:

cause irritation and redness of the skin (which is normal for the first 2 weeks) Some skin flakes, too. So always apply moisturizer.

1. Wash your face with mild cleanser. 2. Gently apply this BP on the affected area. 3. Use moisturizer after. To early to say that it really works for me, since I've been just using it for a couple of weeks. But I could clearly say that my face is starting to improve somehow. And I am going to continue using it till my face is free from any breakouts.

Pros:

I use panoxyl acnegel 2.5 for a month now. So far it works wonders on my skin. It clears up my whitehead and blackhead. Apply before bed and wake up with smooth skin.

Cons:

Make skin so itchy. Need to apply rosehip oil and moisturizer again and again throughout the day.

Great product to replace neotregena bp 2.5 as i couldn't find it anywhere at local drugstore.

Pros:

Within the first few uses, i saw a difference. Everyone noticed how well by face was clearing up - even though it did look sunburnt!

Cons:

Goes red, dry and flakey but calms down within weeks if you use moisturizer

My face was red and very dry - but only because i used it twice a day. Because it did this to my skin i stoped using it for a few days and my spots came back so i decided to use it again only this time i applied it once a day like it says on the instructions lol. If you do stop using this product your spots come back which is why its recommended you use it for over 3 months and use a really good moisturizer such as palmers cocoa butter which also has vitimin E in it (: now my skin is really good.

Pros:

it does relieve acne in just 2-3 days.. it's so effective for teens like me..

Cons:

-It makes your skin sooooo flaky(But, its good for you if you have a very good moisturizer to civer it up)..

The flaking effect takes a few days( several fo some cases) But, no need to worry cause it reduces skin's oiliness and it's KILLING acne in a good way =P

Pros:

This is a good cream. It cleared my skin up and removed the black spots from my recently popped pimples. My skin looks ah-mazing! And i used it yesterday too. my first time ever. =)

Cons:

It makes you skin ah-little itchy. May cause a little dryness. You have to use moisturizer such as Neutrogena Moisturizer.

It works ah-mazingly good! =)
