Pros:

I'm using for 1 week and I'm getting my skin clearing. I had a small breakout but as the regimen says, this is normal.
My skins is very oily and this product make my skin dryness so what could be a con for me is great pro.

Cons:

You need to be really careful with the sun or you can get nice sunburn. I've discovered my skin much more sensitive to the sun while with this product in my face.

I recommend.

Pros:

Very effective and affordable! If used along with Retin-A 0.025 % it will work wonders for your skin.

Cons:

Your skin gets very dry the first two weeks! A lot of dead skin falls out. I guess it is somewhat like a dermabrasion but trust me it is worth it.

It works if used continuously.

Pros:

It dries up acne fast and lessens inflammations quicker. Is absorbed more efficiently by the skin as it's water-based. No sticky feel.

Cons:

Too much too soon might dry up skin.

Effective product to use for the regimen. First time users should follow regimen, starting with smaller amounts then gradually building up to more.

Pros:

It is definately working - it has been 3 weeks now and all the pustular acne has gone. It is gradually clearing :)

Cons:

If you touch your skin it peels but that's probably a good thing as it encourages me not to touch!
If you use too much too soon like I did- severe chemical burn (like a bad sunburn) and hideous peeling

Overall I recommend this product as long as you start with a little then gradually use more

Pros:

This is very gentle as compare to other BP gel/cream which can be found in my country, at the same time effective. Not drying. Less irritation.

Cons:

More expensive if compare to Dan's BP treatment gel.

This Benzac AC 2.5 Benzoyl Peroxide Gel (60g) is water base, just like Dan's BP treatment gel. I will recommend this BP gel over the others, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Works quite well and is gentler than other brands of BP.

Cons:

Quite expensive to be used with the regime in the long run. It has tiny beads which could be a little rough on the skin.

It's one of the best BP I've tried which can be bought over the counters in my country but quite expensive in the long run. I was using this before I purchased Dan's BP and would also recommend this if Dan's BP is not available.
