Pros:

- works quickly to prevent pimples
- started to clear my skin within 2 weeks
- inexpensive
- prevents any new pimples from growing

Cons:

- can be very drying if not used with a good moisturizer

Really awesome when used properly. I have been using this for a few months now and i have never been so happy with my skin! start off on a tiny amount at a time to prevent extreme drying so that your skin can take to the product and so that you know if your skin can handle it. All in all a great product

Pros:

- clears skin within 2 weeks of use
- gets rid of up coming breakouts very quickly
- prevets breakouts

Cons:

- dries put skin especially around the nose area

This is a great product i love what it has done for my skin it is clean and clear. This is great for people with moderate or light acne. Start using in very small amounts so that your skin doesnt over react

Pros:

I tried using proactive, which seemed to only make my acne a lot worse. After 8 weeks of proactive I gave up and used Brevoxyl 4%, it worked amazingly and now I only get a few pumps here and there, where as before 2 or 3 would spawn over night.

Cons:

not sure how well it works on the nose, or if thats just my skin going crazy.

I recommend trying it because its cheap and effective. You can find it for around $12, so you don't have much to lose and if your skin types like mine, a lot to gain

Pros:

In my experience, less drying than Dan's 2.5% treatment and stronger too.

Cons:

quite hard to find.

Have been on the Dan's regimen for about 2 years, never quite had my skin clear. Costed a lot of money so I switched out all products for UK based ones and with Brevoxyl i'm finally clear!

Pros:

When i use this cream my acne tends to rage for 5-10 minutes until the cream takes effect and reduces redness and angriness of it.

Cons:

I started out with moderate acne and began using this cream to find my acne had got severe, also it tends to make my skin very dry and itchy.

I did not find this cream helpful at all really, it made my acne much worse than it was!

Pros:

Clears active acne
Reduce future breakouts

Cons:

On the beginning it made my skin peeling
It makes my skin really dry(strong moisturaizer is essential)

Pros:

Clears blackheads and surface pimples quickly.

Cons:

Dries out the skin.

This product is the only thing that has actually cleared my acne. I have had horrible acne for 15 years and I found that nothing seemed to work. Deeper pimples usually take longer to disappear, I found after 2-3 weeks they started to clear properly. It does make your face dry but with an oil free moisturizer it won't become a problem. I highly recommend this item for sufferers of acne, but moisturize your skin!

Pros:

This works on any mild breakouts on the back or chest.

Cons:

Not useful on cystic acne on the face/jawline. I also find it bleaches clothing sometimes.

I have been on accutane twice. Both times, my skin cleared up beautifully. I went 1 year after the first one before breaking out horribly again. It's been 5 years since the last time, and now I'm getting horrible breakouts on my jawline and chin. It's depressing and annoying! The Brevoxyl does not help this at all. It's very frustrating. I am putting YES for recommend for back/chest but not for cystic acne or face.

Pros:

i have been using this product every a.m. and p.m. this was in combination with solodyn(an antibiotic) it has been about 2 months and my face looks a lot better, but if i forget then i will have a large blemish appear on my forehead.

Cons:

it does dry my face and make it red. but i am also using retin a so that contributes to it too.

my acne was terrible on my forehead and now it is mild if any. i am 13 and have had acne since i was 9. i am so happy to be clearing it up.
