Pros:

Seems to make face less red, and when applied to cystic-type acne overnight, they appear to be a lot smaller. Works quite well.

Cons:

If left on for too long, or if used every day, some minor flakiness and minor dryness tends to develop. As well, even after washing your face, a thin white layer is seen on one's skin, almost resembling makeup...a little embarrassing. Have to scrub -

This product is okay, but would like to find something different. I've been using the BP for quite some time, and it doesn't always help from new ones to form. I recommend using this product as a spot treatment only, instead of an all over type of treatment, which I did, and maybe that's why I developed some flakiness and a creamy-white residue on my face, still left over even after being washed off.
