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:

Gets Rid of PIMPLES. And It works. Love it. 10% BP All the way!

Cons:

none

Look, its main job is to get rid of pimples and it does just that. I use it once a day along with a SA cleanser, which I use 2x a day. It clears me up and gets rid of the small pimples very fast. This 10% BP job is to kill pimples and it does just that, what more can you ask for? You will red afterwords, so use a MOISTURIZER.

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:

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.

Pros:

Works fast.

Cons:

When you first put it on there might be a few reddish spots on your face, but they go away within 20 minutes.

I just used it once, and there's already a noticeable reduction in blemishes. I mean, it's not completely gone, but at least I know it's working. At the rate this is going my face should be clear in no time.

Nah

It is not gentle, it does not remove all makeup and it does not help with acne in long game

Maybe if you want to wash your face with it twice

Prescribed by Dermo

I was prescribed this by my dermatologist every morning to try and clear my mild but very stubborn acne. He suggested using this every morning because I use Tretinoin cream every night and the benzoyl peroxide make the cream less effective when used together. I have seen absolutely no difference in my skin other than the fact that I am as red as a lobster after using this and my skin is extremely dry. I would not suggest
