Pros:

Worked for me a few years ago and went back to it recently because nothing else works as well for my skin. Very affordable.

Cons:

Hurts if you get it in your eyes or even just near them so be careful!

I only use it around the areas where I break out then wipe it off with a cloth before rinsing with water. I find that this is the best way to avoid getting any in my eyes and also since I have dry skin, I am only treating the areas where I get acne and not the entire face. Also, I don't know if this is only in Canada, but the BP content is 5% (as opposed to 10%). 10% seems a bit much.. This product worked for me as a teen and now I'm in my 20s and I have returned to it and am quite happy with it.

Pros:

-rather effective
-nice minty after-feel

Cons:

-stron medication, careful if your skin is very prone to drying

Ok, let's face it, you're stupid if you use Benzoyl Peroxide anywhere near your eyes. The same goes to pretty much any other acne product out there, excluding the herbal solutions. This is a good product for people who want fast results and who know how to moisturize their skin. If your skin is sensitive, go with a lower concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide.

Pros:

Kills only acne on surface, deep cysts will not go away

Cons:

Made me break out more, SUPER DRY FACE, very itchy

if you have sensitive skin, do not buy this. it is way too strong and dries up face. I had to use this every other day and it is still dry, try 2.5% or 5%. it is just as good as 10%

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling clean
Cheap

Cons:

WAY too strongly medicated
Face will burn for hours

Stay away, 10% BP is too strong...I wont touch this stuff ever again as its just too much for my skin.

Pros:

Clears acne!!! from little bumps to real pimples

Cons:

none

The only over the counter product that cand take care of acne, dosen't dry my skin, feels tingly and refreshing... and clears up my face every single time I use it. It's truly amazing!!! If you don't have severe acne, and don't want to go into deep medical treatments... this product is the best!

Pros:

-had a minty fresh feeling
-seemed to work first few washes
-may make eyes sensitive

Cons:

-destroyed my face

I used this product in combination with Clean and Clear Blackhead Scrub. I had mild to moderate acne and after a few washes things were looking bright. After a week and over the course of a weekend it completely destroyed my chin area (where I had no severe problems before) and cheeks. Watch out for little bumps appearing that will flame up. May work for some....not me :(

It works

Cons:

none so far

This makes my skin feel really CLEAN! I use it alongside Proactiv and it's workin really well. Although I am also using a number of products alongside those 2 as well..It's preventing my breakouts pretty well.

Pros:

works very well and fast. effectively prevents future breakouts

Cons:

its very harsh on the skin and will make it red and itchy. but dont stop using it. just keep using moisturizers to help keep the redness down. eventually the itchiness and redness will go away.

USE IT!! it seriously works.
