Pros:

Clears up acne pretty fast, also good for greasy face (Since all it does is just dry your skin, so use a moisturizer too) Cleared up ALL of my pimples and black heads in about a week and a half.

Cons:

Burns a bit and dries out your skin (which isn't much of a problem as long as you use a good moisturizer after applying it)

Basically a great cream, and one of the best if you're looking to get rid of acne fast, as long as you're willing to deal with a little burning and use it only once a day, you'll be happy with the results.

Pros:

-Cheap
-Dries up pimples

Cons:

-BURNSSS
-Makes skin very red

I only use this stuff when I get really bad pimples, because this stuff is hardcore. 10% BP is no joke, but for some reason this stuff seems even more powerful than any other 10% BP I've come across. When I put it on my pimples at night, wake up the next morning it is reddd red red, & this redness will last all day or longer. It will dry up your pimples after a couple of days, but I suggest you use a Q tip when applying it to your pimple so you can put a small dab on, that way the redness will only be a tiny little dot instead of a big one, which can easily happen if you apply with your finger. I can't say I recommend this stuff, because even though it will dry out your pimples, it literally does burn your skin, & has given me chemical burn that is very painful. So be careful with this stuff, start out with very little & see how your skin reacts to it before covering your face in it!

Amazing
I love this product! I had been using proactiv and it was working but it was drying out my skin. (Not good!) So I switched to this product and it really works! The only down side is the burning sensation. If you need acne gone fast this is great! My acne was better after my first use!

Pros:

Works

Cons:

hard to find at stores
can over dry skin

This has worked for me for roughly 5 years. I put it on with big globs like a facial mask. It burns pretty bad and will peel my skin but it just kills the acne, I usually put it on in the after noon or at night and in the morning i put on a good moiturizer. I do this about once a week for 3 days. Great product, im surprised its not more popular

Pros:

Quick, Amazing Results
Inexpensive

Cons:

Slight Irritation/Redness After Application
Harsh on Sensitive Skin

I found this cream at the Dollar General for a little over 1 dollar, and because it was so cheap I decided to try it. I was worried that 10% benzoyl peroxide would be too much for my skin, but I've used powerful products before and use a 2.5% peroxide cream every night. Perhaps because of this, I was able to use Clear-Zit as a thin, even coat on my face instead of simply spot treating. While the cream did cause a mild burning sensation at first and slight redness on my face when I woke up, my skin was very clear the next day. I've never had such speedy or powerful results for something so cheap, but I would really advise that if someone hasn't built up a skin tolerance to benzoyl peroxide or has sensitive skin overall, to look for a gentler product.

Pros:

This stuff is amazing! I have moderate acne. I get blackheads and cysts. I used ProActiv for a few years. It worked very well for a while, but then it stopped working after a few years. I've been searching for another acne remedy. I saw this at my dollar general and thought what the heck. I've used it for two days and ALL of my zits are cleared, and I haven't had another zit pop up! I don't find it over drying or oily.

Cons:

None!

Get this stuff.

Pros:

Clears up acne insanely fast--Over night.

Cons:

Stings and burns really bad when first applied, numbs after maybe 15 minutes. (maybe less or more pain depending on how sensitive your skin is, my skin is very sensitive.)

USE THIS IF YOU ARE HORRIBLE AT BEING CONSISTENT! And don't waste your time and money at a dermatologist! Please just pay a few bucks for this and you don't even have to use it daily.

Pros:

I've only used this once and I can already see a difference! Redness and size of pimples have gone down, and little ones even went away!

Cons:

My skin is a little flaky and dry..nothing an exfoliant and moisturizer can't take care of.

Tingly feeling that makes your face itch.

This is awesome so far! Can't wait to use it longer and hopefully see more results. :)

Pros:

It really really work, just do it right

Cons:

It burns but, it will stop

hi all, This product is great the only thing is if you don't know how to use it, it can really mess you up. So hear is the trick,after school or work you should wash you face, then cleanse and tone (almay seems to work best for me). Then apply clear sit for about 3-4 hours or until the burning or tingle stops and about 9 or 10 at night you then cleanse again and use the avon moisturizing facial cream again it one of the best. The moisturizer must be thick on your face and leave it to be absorbed by the pores. When the majority of it has been adsorbed just massage the the remainder into your face. This technique can be used for any time of the day when you have the most time to spare and it prevents the heavy burns and peeling skin and soon no burning at all, it gives your face a sort of dermatological peel. When you apply it consistently and the burning stops, your face feels clean and revitalized. Every morning don't forget to cleanse, tone and moisturize. It the best way for quick pain free results and beautiful face. P.s. it will burn like sh*t at first but toning, cleansing and moisturizing helps and for best results apply it to your entire face.
