Pros:

Unscented and easy to apply to skin although takes a while to sink in using large doses. Did not really make my skin red when first starting using it.

Cons:

This product started off good for me (some clearing but not complete, a reduction in spot size), but after using the product for about 6 weeks now i can reveal that im back to my original spotty state when i first started the regimen ..Gutted

It was working hard on my spot all be it very slowly. Ultimately after 6 weeks now i would have expected to see much better results (had better skin about a week ago, now massive breakout) considering i was dedicated to the application. Also, the product is quite expensive at least a fiver a go. Doesnt last a long time, especially with Dan's suggested amounts. Takes ages to apply into the skin, applications could take upto 10 to 15 mins!! Overall i think its average, i think i may have paid the price of having a binge alcohol session at the weekend but personally, for 6 weeks use, i expected a clearer face (ive had less spots using no treatments!!)

Pros:

I have been using this product approximately 2 months and i can tell you, it works very slowly once you've reached a certain stage. The smell is quite mild, compared to other weird bp related products that are sometimes quite nauseting.

Cons:

This is the one thing that you WILL hate this product for--SKIN DRYNESS!!It TOTALLY dries out your skin after not using it for about a week, and will flake ALOT of times.

The bottom line is, never use this product for a long term basis. After a couple of weeks of using this product, it will almost devoid your skin of the natural and important fats that need to be on your skin. I'm writing this because i'm recovering from this awful product, and i wish to share this information to those that are thinking of trying out this awful product. btw, the bottle looks like toothpaste, and can be mistaken for one...

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:

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:

the product is fairly cheap

Cons:

it causes the skin to get very dry, itchy and i found out the results are very minimum so i would not recommend this product as i have been using this product for 3 weeks now and the acne still hasnt cleared im soo depressed.

i occasionally stopped using the cream for a while because the cream caused my skin to become tight and very dry and peeled my skin.
