Pros:

Cleared up my acne in about 3 days, was easy to use and also seems to preventing future breakouts. Skin is not as oily!

Cons:

Drys out the skin. Keep it hydrated for sure.

I like it. I'm getting married in a month so I trusted this to make my skin look beautiful for pictures and so far it's working well.

Pros:

I had moderate acne on my face and this product pretty much cleared it all. It's also very easy to apply on the skin. It is neutrally scented.

Cons:

It took more than 3 months to take real effect. During those 3 months I experienced several breakouts that did die out rather quickly. It also left my skin dry for almost a month after starting the treatment.

I would say this is an effective way of getting rid of mild to moderate acne in small areas. You should give it a try but don't expect to get instant results.

Pros:

Prevents new spots forming and quickens the fading of old ones. Quite cheap.

Cons:

Takes a while to adjust to. Smell is not very nice. Makes skin very dry and flaky - not smooth at ALL! Also, takes a while for the redness to subside making it not ideal for those of us who appreciate FAST mornings.

Good if you don't mind the side effects. Get ready to splurge on the moisturizer!!

Pros:

cleared some of my adult acne, but I can't say more because I have been using it only for 8 days!

Cons:

The smeell is really annoying!

I have been using brevoxyl mixed with Avene diacneal (this was the prescribed tratment from my dermatologist) for 8 days now and I am pleased with the results. I don't really have that much acne, but the last months I had a hormonal break out, especially on my chin, which kind of weird because when I han real acne in my teens (I am 34 now), I only had ance on my cheeks. Anyway I was very depressed of my latest skin condition so after trying some products I finally decided to go to the derm. So far I am very pleased with the results. But I must mention that I do not use brevoxyl on its own but in conjuction with avene diacneal.

Pros:

cleared up about 70% of my acne so far. less oily face.

Cons:

still get spots dotted around my face and there always really stubborn, take ages to f*ck off.

when i first started to use this product i noticed a massive improvement, i had no spots within 2 weeks. hardly dries my face out but still use moisturiser. but gradually i started getting spots in places were i never got them, like my cheekbones and mouth area. so bottom line, its cleared up the masses of spots i use to get along my jaw line, and now i just get them dotted around my face. WHICH is a hell lot better. has worked well anough to keep persisting at it and hope it works to clear my whole face. peace, and much love folks.

Pros:

Like the large tube, I keep it on the shelf in my shower. I like the creaminess also. Seems to be working really well, my skin is almost completely clear.

Cons:

Lol, hating the bleaching factor for my towels, I had to switch to white. My skin is dry but not horribly so.

It took me a few days to get into my regime of the was, the lotion, duac, and then actually remembering to put on moisturizer. I only use this in the AM (using retin A Micro at night) but so far I like it. I do use a makeup remover first cause I don't want it near my eyes. I think as long as you use a good moisturizer it's relatively easy.

Pros:

ive used brevoxyl 4% BP cream for well over a year and its been terrific at treating my acne. works really quick and kills acne very well.

Cons:

dries out skin a lot... you need to use a good moisturiser to retain any of your sanity!

great product as far as treating acne... has never let me down and ive been using it for about a year and a half now. remember the dryness tho... make sure you have a good acne healthy moisturiser present to use also. follow dans reg closely.

Pros:

This was prescribed for me to deal with my very oily skin and I can definitely tell a difference in just a few days.

Cons:

It's apparently available only as a prescription, so I have to make a copay on it. Also, the consistency is very odd - not really like a cleanser (I use a mild cleanser beforehand to remove makeup).

I like this, but I worry that it will be too drying as winter approaches. For now, though, it seems to be doing a great job making my skin less oily and, along with Duac gel, healing my whiteheads and cysts.
