Pros:

this stuff works great on chest/back acne -- i put it on in the shower, leave it on for about 2 minutes, then rinse it off. my chest acne is completely cleared.

Cons:

DO NOT USE ON FACE -- it will BURN and within 2 or 3 days your face will be red, scaly, and burning.

this stuff is very strong and i will repeat ONLY use it on your chest/back... it works, but if you use it on your face it will literally burn your skin off. also if you leave the tube sitting around too long the oil separates out.. gross.

Pros:

Works at first.

Cons:

This product has mineral oil in it, which is bad for your skin. Don't use anything on your face that has mineral oil in it!

I used this product, not reading the ingredients. it has the benzoly peroxide which clears up the skin fast, but then it stops working and makes it worse than it was because it is a poorly made product with bad ingredients that are not beatifical to your skin and only make it worse.

Pros:

i've been using this for about a week. i haven't experienced any extreme dryness and the product does seem to be helping my skin. dark spots are noticeably lighter.

Cons:

when mixed with water, the product becomes sort of like a thickish lotion and you might want to put it all over your face, but DON'T. i'm sitting here right now trying to appease the slightly red spots around my eyes. it feels like it's been burned..

i think with this product, less might be more. don't use a large amount of it since it's pretty strong and don't put it anywhere near your eyes -- ie. under your eyebrows to a little past under your eyes. make sure you HELLA moisturize after using the product, perhaps immediately after getting out of the shower or patting your face dry. drying out your face doesn't always mean you're drying out your acne -- dry skin also leads to more pimples :p not just oily skin.

Pros:

It makes the skin feel clean and it makes it feel like it's actually working.

Cons:

It makes my skin red and blotchy for about an hour. And it doesn't smell that great.

Don't use this product, it's not worth it. My skin stayed the same the whole time I was using it. All it does it make you think it's working, but it's really not.

Pros:

It did what it said it would do. It felt refreshing to the skin.

Cons:

It burned like heck on my skin afterwards. It irritated my skin. It dried it out as well. It made my problem areas and zits redder, and made my whole face looke REALLY blotchy.

Don't use it. It may work, but the problems are worse than what the good outcomes are. It burns my skin horribly and everything. Phisoderm is so much better. They have it for acne prone skin and stuff. It's more natural and soothing to the skin. It is SO much better and just as cheap.

Pros:

You feel like its working.

Cons:

It made my skin burn and made it red for hours. I am NOT sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. It didn't clear up my skin.

I used it for a few months and it did not work for me. It was however, very irratating to my skin.

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:

cleared up my forehead

Cons:

Cheeks look worse and BP may not be so good for your skin

This product worked well for me as a teen so I thought I would try it again. I guess my skin is different now because it is not working even after 4 weeks. It has really dried out my skin and I am getting to the age where I cant afford that. (I'm starting to see a loss of firmness from all these products.) I've found that the peroxide in most acne products makes my spots from previouos breakouts darker. I've even read that the reaction it causes in your skin is simmilar to what happens when you're exposed to the sun. I've since stopped using products with that ingredient and my spots have really started to fade (its been less than a week) before they would look darker after I'd wash.

Pros:

Has a great smell and I love the thickness of it.

Cons:

It has not worked for me yet. Every orning I wake up with atleast one more blemish. My skin also is dry every time I use it. I have to use the moisturizer with the SA to make my dry skin less noticable.

This product has not worked for me yet. I will keep using it to see if it is just taking a while to start clearing my skin. So far I have used better products.
