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:

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.

Not expensive

Pros:

Cheap, behind the counter but no prescription needed, get it at PharmaPlus anytime I run out. No fragrance no medical smell, absorb pretty quick, 4% is mild so takes a few day to clear new ones, not too strong so no peeling all over the face.

Cons:

After 6yrs, none so far.

Suffered from acen for over 25yrs, have used lots of different medication, from over the counter cream to Accutane. This is by far the safest cheapest satifying solution.

Pros:

EVERYTHING!! It actually works, cleared my acne like nothing else, works fast, keeps acne away, not as expensive as other treatments

Cons:

Drying but moisturizer helps this

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Ive had acne for 7 years and I've tried everything, description pills, birth control, prescription creams, over the counter creams and nothing has worked like this! And it worked fast! Definitely reccomend it! Please try it! I was hesitant to try it because it was just another cream from the drugstore but I seen it working for my sister and had to try it for myself. LOVE IT!

Pros:

I acne metamorphic which means many kinds. I also have really oily skin. It clears your face and leaves nothing, only one or two pimples once in a while. I've had 12 treatments done to my face in about 7 years and this is the only one that worked.

Cons:

It makes your face really red and dry. It hurts the first 30 minutes. Takes about 2-3 months to show dramatic change. Can't buy it anymore in the Dominican Republic. Anyone know where to buy it?

I recommend this to anyone who has metamorphic acne with oily skin. This is a miracle worker.
