Pros:

prevents new pimples from coming out

Cons:

slight drying and peeling (just apply the product thinly to prevent overdrying and use moisturizer)

very effective... I've used several products before and this was the only one which helped me in improving my acne. Just use sunblock and moisturizer.

Pros:

Benzac definitely works. I am in the UK now and its been difficult to find at the pharmacies here. They have Panoxyl which definitely does not work as well for me as Benzac does.

Cons:

Benzac can be very drying and for sensitive skin, it burns at first. But to me, its worth it because of the results I get. Acne may appear worst at first but that is because it brings those hidden under the skin to the surface in order to deal with i

Try Benzac

Pros:

It has significantly cleared up my skin, has done for almost two years now.

Cons:

consistant use, i have to use it atleast once a day.
at first i dint mind the dry skin because my acne was being cured but now after going so long without a huge amount of acne im starting to get self concious about the redness of my skin.

i reconmend it for great acne treatment, however your face will become very dry.

Pros:

effective... for 2 days... that's fast! :)

Cons:

well, my skin went dry and oh red!

i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide (so guess that explains the redness of my face) but it makes my face clearer... i just put it all over my face at night, then leave for about an hour then wash it again... (so that it won't make my face super duper red! hehe) it works!!!
