Pros:

Worked in one day! No redness on my skin. Had bad acne since 5th grade to being a senior in high school. Found out about it in my senior year from a friend.

Cons:

I still have mild breakouts throughout the month... especially around THAT time of the month. Still waaayyy better than it was before! Looked like I had chicken pox before!

This stuff works better than anything! I tried Oxy, Noxema, Clearasil, Proactiv Solution, Sea Breeze, Stridex, and some kind of pH cleanser and stuff. NONE of that worked... in fact it made it way worse. Even my mom said I have much clearer skin at the age of 18 than she did! And I'm 25 now so I've been a proud user for years. Unfortunately I have to take a med for depression and another one for seizures and it makes it worse, but still not near as bad as I had it before. My skin craves it because it doesn't make my skin red or burn. I tried it on at a friend's house thinking it really wasn't going to work for dirt cheap. But the redness started going down in one or two hours after and by the end of the week my skin was clear!!! I love this stuff. I hope they never stop making it!!

Pros:

It works very well! I used it twice a day for 2 days and my pimples dried up great! Didnt expect this kind of result from a cheap product!

Cons:

It itches a bit a few minutes after u apply it, but that makes u feel that it's working!

Great price and a very good result. At most i thought it would simply dry my face and make the pimples less noticeable, but it dried the pimples totally and cleared it too! So good product.

Pros:

I dont really know yet.

Cons:

Doesn't seem to work for me.

I've had the burning sensation and yes it does go away after a few days of use. The product doesn't seem to be working for my acne though. I even applied more to dry the skin out and it does nothing. I'll try for a few more days but if nothing happens im gonna have to use something else.

Pros:

Very effective in drying up pimples, cysts, and zaps all of the redness out of your skin. Perfect for overnight pimple removal. Also very, very cheap.

Cons:

Will cause a slight burning irritation and will dry out skin. Does not have a very pleasurable smell.

People don't use the product very much due to the fact that the burning sensation is just too painful. This is because they apply WAY TOO MUCH. All you need is three little dabs for both sides of your face, chin and nose. Four if acne is on forehead. Also make sure you rub the product in so you can barely see any white left over from the applicant. Also, for guys, best results is to apply right after you shave, perferably a razor, so the BP is straight to the pimples and blemishes. Shaving cream will also help with the moisturizer so your skin won't feel so irritated. Be advised there could be a chance in a rare occurance that the BP won't help any or minimal due to your skin type. For 95% of people this product should dramatically treat your acne. Also this is a product that you can rely on if you have an important day the next day. Picture day, job interview, etc.

Pros:

worked the first couple of times, but the more i used it, it irritated my skin and i already have sensative skin. it put burn marks all over my face, and a day later it's still swollen and burns badly.

Cons:

it worked the first couple of times but the last time i used it, it litteraly burned my skin to a swollen and painful soar on my face.

This product caught my eye from being cheap, but it catches everyone elses eye to see big burns on my faces that i did'nt expect to get from zit cream. IT HURTS REALLY BAD!!!

Pros:

I don't have severe acne but I do have a few red bumps here and there so I saw this in the dollar store and I just walked past it because it was in the dollar store of course it dosen't work, so my mom was behind me and she picked it up. So I thought what the heck and I used that night and the next morning my skin was clear!!..WORKS AMAZINGLY!! If you think I'm lying go to your nearest dollar store and find it. It's really cheap!! and REALLY WORKS so..you're not losing anything!

Cons:

- Dries out skin fast!
-when you're all out your sad )= (I suggest stock up..it's only 1.50)
- Burning and itching may occur but it is mostly moderate

- I suggest using st.Ives apricot scrub to help with the drying of the skin (softens skins and just makes you look amazing dollor store also for like 3.50,for the drying and peeling of the skin it may cause (everyone diffrent i didnt have peeling but here is my opinion) and it softens your skin so a double win and smells amazing!! - Bottom line::: This is an amazing effective product that really works, like if you have severe acne i HIGHLY recommended this and if it dosen't work, you don't lose anything!
