Pros:

dries up pimples
within one use, all my blackheads were gone

Cons:

smells gross
doesn't really make you feel clean
weird texture
if used on places that don't have a lot of acne, it can dry them up and cause irritation
made me sunburned when I went out in the sun

I used this cleanser for a whole year before switching to another one and never had much problems with my acne, once I switched I got so much more acne, and then I bought another cleanser and still got more acne until I finally switched back to this one and it's toning back down again. Even though this cleanser is kind of gross it works sooo well on a lot of acne, but can really irritate and dry up skin that doesn't have a lot of acne on it. I now only use this on my nose which has the most acne and then use a Biore scrub for the rest of my face which leaves it very soft but made my acne worse on my nose.

Does the job.
Was actually recommend by my doctor to use the product. My skin started breaking out all over my forehead,cheeks and jawline. It was pretty bad. I started using it and it got rid of most of it . I've been using it now for about a year and it has totally improved my skin. I mean I get pimples still but not as bad as before.

It Takes Time!
After a while the product will show no RESULTS, I tried leaving a little bit of the product on the acne area but nothing worked. After a month or so, my acne was completely GONE!

Pros:

- Diminished my stubborn moderate acne in one night

Cons:

- Can stain sheets and/or clothes

I have tried countless face washes, Dan's regimen, Tazorac, and Minocycline with no reliable results. This acne wash has gotten rid of countless comedones scattered on my cheeks. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I washed my face with it one night, and the next morning, these stubborn bumps on my face were gone. I've been using this product for about 6 months now and the results are, for the most part, consistent. Sometimes I pick out of (bad) habit, but when I don't, my skin stays clear. I highly recommend this! It's my miracle wash!

Pros:

- Has 10% BP
- A little goes a VERY long way - only use a dime size amount
- Affordable
- Works!

Cons:

- Doesn't lather well (Not a big deal, just add a little of the cleanser to a wet face)
- Irritates eye area - just keep it away from the eyes, period.
- A little dry skin (Nothing a moisturizer won't fix)

I've been using this product for about.. 6 or 7 days. I picked it up at Target after returning an expensive acne regime that didn't work (The Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions, if you're interested). This was cheap, and it had 10% BP, so I figured I've tried everything and might as well try this. After the first two days, my big acne bumps weren't really red anymore and a lot of my deep persistent whiteheads that I've developed on my checks and can't get rid of, started to shrink and the majority of them are gone now! I've had an issue with them in particular for a while now, so it's a relief to see them gone. In such a short time, it's cleared up my face more than 70%. I'm definitely going to stick with this. But, it has irritated my eye area and a small area around my mouth. But it's nothing that I can't fix with my moisturizer and I recommend a little Vitamin E Gel (Notice, GEL, not OIL). Vitamin E Gel recently healed my face after a bad chemical burn, so it will repair minor dry and irritated skin quickly. But dealing with dry skin is better than dealing with acne, if you ask me. If you have tried just about every product like me, and salicylic acid just isn't doing it, this cleanser might just be for you.

Pros:

It works even after you rinse it off. Hours later you feel it working you feel tingling feelings in your face its awesome.

Cons:

It drys skin if you are not use to benzoyl peroxide. Or it my be to strong for some skin types.

It works just like its stated on the cream tube. (the same ingredient proactiv carries benzoyl peroxide but proactiv carries 2.5% and this one 10% which is about 5 times stronger than Proactiv. AND ONE QUICK EASY STEP ONLY !!not the 3 annoying steps.

Pros:

Took my acne from moderate to light
Smells good
Soft Skin

Cons:

None so far

I had acne since i was in grade 3. All the products I have used have worked well like a aloe vera gel and some products my mom lent me. But this so far is the best i have tries so far. Before i tried this i used to have acne all over my face. After using this it clear up my chin and cheeks. In the morning i use this and use clean and clear dual action moisturizer and in the night i use Shanez Hussain Scrub. I saw results instantly. Works like a Charm! Good Luck!
