Pros:

best benzoyl peroxide product
dries fast
easy to spread and easy to apply a thin layer
prevents acne rather than treating existing acne

Cons:

bleaches clothes, towels pillowcases but of course that comes with any BP product

this is the best benzoyl peroxide product i've used. the 4% strength is perfect, not too drying. used consistently with moisturizer pretty well prevents skin flakiness and redness completely. this is my absolute favorite because of how quickly it dries. i hated having to wait 20 minutes or more for thicker BP creams/gels to dry. however, forgetting to use once or twice can bring acne back super fast

I used this product once..it worked like a charm....then i stopped cuz i didnt like how pale my skin was gettin....tried other products n they didnt work as effectively as Solugel 4. Went back to using it after about 2 yrs, and I am totally not regretting the decision!!!!!!!!!!!! However, i have to use it once a day instead of twice. Its a GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

It' works well. Much better than Benzac W5, Oxy, Neutrogena, Panoxyl, and Proactive combined.

Cons:

In my drug store it can only be purchased with a pharmasist say so and it costs much more than anything else.

It works well for me and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with other acne products. Even though it costs a bit more it is really worth it.

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:

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.

Pros:

Easy to apply...absorbs well without any noticable film. Doesn't require much per application.

Cons:

Will cause redness if you apply too much. Be sure to establish the right amount that works with your skin type. A nickle sized amount is good to start with I believe...and a great TIP is to wet both your hands and smear on palms and THEN onto face

This product and any like it (containing Benzoly Perioxide WILL work but you must follow these 3 steps almost regligiously! The biggest mistake that ppl with acne make is they dont stick to a regimen...or they apply too much hoping for faster results. Take it easy and do the following: 1 Wash face before each application (once or twice a day) 2 Apply benzyol peroxide cream in a thin layer and let fully absorb. 3 MOISTURIZE - if you skip this stage, you may as well kiss any progress goodbye. Your skin will feel dry...flake...turn red...Trust me, it was an error I made for years. My advice IF you can afford it is to purchase Olay Total Effects...guys and girls. This regminen has done wonders for my face. I use the moisturizer about 15 minutes after I apply the BP and once or twice throughout the day. If you cannot afford to buy Total Effects, just a good oil free face cream will do the trick. Just do not use a cream or lotion that is intended for the hands or
