Pros:

Works very consistently, I've been using it for 9 years now and recommend it often. Was suggested to me by my sister (a pharmacist) when she saw I was using prescription meds to no effect.

Cons:

Wish it were cheaper same price as the other zit creams. Guess they know they have something special.

Took almost a year for it to completely clear up my skin but now I only have to use it once or twice a week. If I stop I will still get zits though. Try it and have faith in the longrun it will work and that your skin if red or itchy at the start will stop doing that once it adjusts to the cream over time.

Pros:

I have spent hundreds of dollars trying doctor prescribed acne creams and over-the-counter products,changing all other products that may contribute to acne (clothing detergents, shampoo, fashwash/cream, diet)THIS IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT WORKS 4 ME

Cons:

It takes time to know how much you need to avoid over drying/peeling/breakouts, your face changes with seasons. Lil gritty, smelly, darker skin will show dry skin, and drying is what gets rid of the acne

Yes, this cream actually works. Its a cheap fix for my adult acne, if I miss a dosage I am sure to have acne the NEXT day. If you are using hairspray/shampoo coniditioner, perfume, make-up, skin cream - it doesn't matter how much it was or if it came from a good company that says free of "dyes" the stuff is crap (organic I recommend but your skin may still disagree). SO please understand you are looking for a prefect product and for it to work you need to look at other things as well and use it consistantly. I bought it at IDA for $13 in Toronto and I swear by it. BTW for my skin to avoid peeling I apply using a damp pad then add the cream on the pad to kind of dilute it and rub every needed.

Pros:

works better than many BP's that i have tried. Also helps with oily skin. I actually received a compliment today at work, which is what made me decide to write this review.

Cons:

can be strong, especially if you are not used to BP, - so try it only once a day to start or don't use as much. I find that you don't need as much as in Dan's regimen. Also has a little bit of a "gritty" feeling, but doesn't really bug me.

Give it some time (at least a week to start). i don't know why people waste their time giving products horrible reviews when they only used the product for "a day or two". anything takes time! Remember to moisturize and you are good to go. Recently, i been doing the following. morning: Dan's wash, THEN Dan's BP (as it is lighter at 2.5%), THEN I moisturize with Complex 15 (i.e. really good stuff, doesn't sting and is oil-free) about 20 minutes later night: Dan's Wash (and yes, it takes off my makeup) THEN i apply Solugel THEN i moisturize (as in the AM). My skin has cleared fabulously!!!

Pros:

only been using it for about a day and half now, but seems to already be working. Basically it just dries out your skin but not in ways that other BP's do. The skin really absorbs it so it works well. and you can wear it out in public.

Cons:

the first day i used it i think i used to much so my skin was pretty red, but only for about an hour or so. the tubes aren't very big and they cost just under 20 dollars at the local Shoppers Drug Mart.

This has really worked for me. My doctor put me on Dalacin T and Metrogel for a couple months but when my prescription ran out i did a little research on BP. So far this stuff has done more for me then the Dalacin T and Metrogel did for 2 months. soo bottom line is it works well. :)

Pros:

cleared my skin up COMPLETELY

Cons:

made my skin very dry and red and peeling

After I quit using my previous acne treatment, I started to break out again. I started applying Solugel twice a day and it made my skin hurt and peel, but it cleared my skin up. After a week or two my skin was perfectly clear. Now I use Solugel once a day with Marcelle Aquamatte Hydrating fluid and my skin has stayed clear ever since. Great product!

Pros:

gets rid of most pimples faster than most products and it is not as expensive as proative and all of those

Cons:

can make skin itchy and sometimes slightly red and very dry. Definitely makes u look more pale! My tan was gone in just a week... it does not treat scars at all !!!

it is better than nothing... but it is not a 100% solution to acne! I recommend using it only once a day, preferably at night! Otherwise your skin will probably peel!good luck!

Pros:

water-based so doesn't dry out skin as bad as most alcohol-based bp products, worked great for me for many years...but eventually i had to switch products because my skin got used to it

Cons:

can sometimes be irritating on the skin, use it once a day for the first week...it bleaches eyebrows, clothes, towels and anything else it touches! sometimes it even bleaches your face...i got comments about how pales i looked.

i actually think this is the best emergency "vanishing cream" ive ever used. unfortunately...i used it for about 5 years and i became immune to it and recently needed to change products..but it did work very well for me for a long time. at about 20 bucks a tube, its quite expensive.
