Pros:

dries my pimples and lessen my white and blackheads!

Cons:

dry skin, redness :)

it really works! i swear! mine is benzac ac acne wash, it's effective! i'm using it for 2 months now and see improvements, couples of scars remained and new pimples form occasionally, but they are smaller and goes away faster, i use celeteque facial wash then use this, after that i use celeteque moisturizer, i trust celeteque bcuz it's non-comedogenic and oil free :)

Pros:

very effective against oiliness and pimples, helps dry them out and kill bacteria

Cons:

can burn the skin if you're not used to it. Not nice having to go to sleep lying carefully so as not to disturb the cold icky stuiff on your face.

Use this (or the stronger one, 10%) if you have severe acne. I have been using it for over 15 years off and on and would never go anywhere without stashing a tube for flare ups. But use sparingly at first if you've got sensitive skin.

Pros:

I guess it has cleared up a tad. Many people say it has worked for them. So I will wait and see.

Cons:

It's not working for me, but I just now am using it. My skin is drying up and burning... I have tried everything and I was prescribed by a doctor for this and to mix it with clindamycin so I guess it will work eventually.

Supposed to work, may take awhile... lots of many different symptoms.

Pros:

my skin was clear (Spotless!!!) in 2 days!
it doesnt have any side effects (for me)
it's cheap!

Cons:

i havent experienced any so-far!!

i got the 2.5% one. i really recommend Benzac AC, it has worked really really well with my skin. before Benzac AC i triede more than 6 other products which didnt help at all, i asked my friend and she pointed out Benzac AC. im so greatful that she did!! i doenst burn or dry out my face at all (might be because i've tried more acne treatment) i just put it on 2 a day (am and pm) and i just rinse my face put a little bit of product on my face, rub it in then rinse it out again (eventhough on the packet it says that you have to leave it on for 2 hours, that didnt work for me)

Pros:

Reduced my acne considerably, easy to use

Cons:

needs to be used with RX cleansing cloths in order to be totally effective (I use Plexion cleansing cloths), cannot be worn during the day (skin cannot be exposed to sunlight wearing this product)

Excellent product - a staple in my daily regimen; best used in combination with an RX facial cleanser
