I love it!!!

Pros:

Works fast
Gets rid of your spots
Cheap

Cons:

Leaves you with dry skin

This month I've developed really bad acne on my chin. The spots were all red and I didn't even want to go out my house because they looked awful! So I ordered brevoxyl on eBay and it has really helped my spots! I'm on day three of using it and my spots are nearly all gone! I usually apply this twice a day leave it on at night and when I wake up use tea tree oil as well which helps :)

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:

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.

Worked well

Pros:

Reduces acne
Cheap

Cons:

Prescription only (in the UK)
Discontinued product (UK)
Stains clothing/ pillows/ towels

It successfully reduced my comedonal acne/ clogged pores very well (but did not completely eliminate it), and I found the 4% strength didn't dry out my skin in comparison to other 5% benzoyl peroxide creams. It goes on smoothly to your skin but takes a bit of massaging to rub it in properly. It has been discontinued in the UK so I've stopped using it and found I am now breaking out so it shows the product was effective.

Pros:

clears up after a few days, however you have to be consistent

Cons:

it stings and pimple becomes red in the beginning

i used to have severe acne from the age of 11 till 16 when i took acutane pills and cleared up. i used to use brevoxyl when i had severe acne but didnt do much for me. however, now i get 1-2 pimples every month or so and i use brevoxyl and it clears them up after 2-3 applicatons.

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.

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.

Fair enough!!
Not as efficient as 10% BPO but does it job.Not over drying if used properly.Upside is the fragrance is not bad as other benzoyl peroxide creams.It will treat the spots.but takes it time.
