Pros:

Works fast. Takes the pain out of the acne.

Cons:

When you first start using it, it does dry your skin.

Amazing product with the best results. I never had acne until I graduated from high school and then I spent hundreds of dollars on products that "sorta worked". I started using this and pimples clear up overnight. It is still working for me years later.

Pros:

You start to see results in the first few days.

Cons:

The scent is way too strong. It also dries your skin out but it's nothing a good moisturizer can't fix.

I've used the Proactiv Solution and many other types of treatments before, but I have not once seen results come as fast as this product. The scent of it is a little overpowering and it makes your eyes start to tear, but you get used to it after a day or two. I've been using this product twice a day for the past four days and already I've noticed that the size and amount of pimples has decreased. Just remember that if you're going outside after you use this stuff, be sure to wear sun block! But put the moisturizer on before you apply the sun block to your face. I highly recommend this product!

Pros:

Clears acne and keeps it from forming and returning.

Cons:

Makes skin dry and peels easy if used for to long Ex:{Washing face from more then 20-30 seconds}. The scent is a little over powering. Benzoyl Peroxide may be a little to high for people with sensitive skin.

Ok, I have used this product for about a week or two and I have noticed a more glow and break-outs were less common. Also, drys new break-outs fast and prevents them. Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser has a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Medication. Other products to use with cleanser are: Clean & Clear Dual-Action Moisturizer, to moisturize dry skin and calm it. Also has a 0.5% Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment to treat exsiting acne and prevent it. Thats why its called Dual-Action. Does two jobs at once. Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, this cream has a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide treatment to prevent,protect and heal. Drys pimples fast. Buy and use all three for maximum results!

Pros:

feels like it's working, contains benzoyl peroxide, inexpensive

Cons:

the menthol is there to make you feel like it's really cleaning, but it's just a gimmick. bleaches everything. Ive ruined several shirts when it's dripped down my wrists. using in the shower when my pores are opened by the heat causes a rash for me

my husband is a pharmacist and he says that benzoyl peroxide is only useful if it stays on your skin. having it in your cleanser doesnt do anything in particlar. better to use the non medicated cleanser and the bp gel after (as per the REGIMEN). only use it if you're naked, otherwise it will make bleach spots on all your clothes. USE A WHITE TOWEL to dry your face afterwards. it will bleach and mottle your nice coloured towels.

Pros:

Well, it does kill a pimple fast.

Cons:

So freaking drying. At the expense of killing a pimple, leaves the face red.

I'm always nervous to try new products incase of a break out, which is why I'm stuck with this one. I know how my skin reacts to it, and it isn't the best but isn't the worst. See, this product does kill pimples very quickly, but at the expense of DRYING your skin just as quickly. The next day, I'll wake up with a dry patch where the skin was, and not be able to use BP over that spot, which means acne will sometimes reappear. I have mild/moderate acne.

Pros:

affordable, and smells okay. usually works well the first couple of days you get it.

Cons:

your skin will most likely get immune to the benzoyl peroxide in this medicine, and it wont react as fast to the use of the product. the more you use it, the less it'll work.

basically, the directions on the back, are not useful, you should use it the way you see works best for you. and it doesnt always work, its not very consistent. it helps get rid of the marks, eventually.

Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser has worked great and has improved my skin 95%. I have been so relieved at the improvement. Because the benzoyl peroxide can bleach clothing I've come up with a routine that works for me. I purchased some bundles of inexpensive, white, wash cloths. At the sink I apply it to my dry face and jawline, work it in thickly everywhere I might breakout, wait a minute or two, then wipe it off with one of the white washcloths ' sometimes dry, sometimes moistened with warm water. Then I rinse my face thoroughly with warm water and dry with another clean wash cloth. I moisturize with Cetaphil lotion afterwards. If I am showering, I wash and condition my hair first, then I dry my face, neck, chest, and shoulders with a dry, white washcloth., apply the cleanser thickly everywhere I might breakout, let it sit while I finish washing up, wipe the cleanser off with a washcloth, then rinse thoroughly in the shower.

Pros:

This is the ONLY over the counter product that has ever worked for me, .... When i had acne real bad and first got this my skin was coompletely clear for about 3 monthns, my skin has never gotten that bad again

Cons:

However it has gotten better and worse from time to time, usually better in the summer then worse with the colder months. It helps but i still wish i could find something more consistant.

Over all id say im glad i found it, but its not perfect as it is un releyable and may at any time stop working for a while allowing a break out... better than nothing though and definatly the best OTC medicine i have tried
