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.

Pros:

it works
reasonable cost

Cons:

I can't always find it

I have worse skin in my mid-40s than I did as a teenager. This worked for me. I follow it with a toner, then a moisturizer with SPF 30 for day, and a retinol product at night. Doing this, plus exfoliating a couple times a week is keeping my skin looking great. i'm almost ready to give up my tinted moisturizer for the day which I use as a light foundation.

Cons:

consistency was watery
didnt lather great

i have had acne for two years and this didnt help at all. I used this with clean and clean toner but all it did was sting my face.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It didn't do anything for my skin and it bleached all of my clothes. I broke out just as much as normal.

I think it is a waste of money and not very effective. I have combination skin and I'm somewhat sensitive.

Pros:

--Clears Skin
--Nice tingly Feeling
--10% BP versus usual 5%

Cons:

-- Could potentially make skin dry,but just use a moisturizer!

Okay so it's day one. I rushed out to buy this after reading the regimen. I paired this with Clean and Clear redness reducer, simply because it had salycic acid in it and i don't have blackheads so the blackhead cleanser wouldn't help me. Anyways, washed my face with this last night and then redness reducer today and my skin is feeling fab! Sure i still have pimples and zits but it's day ONE and i'm already feeling incredibly confident. I felt like the tingling post washing was kind of refreshing.My skin felt incredibly smooth :) I'd like to point out that i was in the process of making an appt with the dermatologist when i discovered this but i have opted against it since this is a miracle! I've used every face wash, spot treatment, toner etc. and this is actually working.Again, DAY ONE!!! i am so ecstatic and can't wait for the days to follow!! :) :) Please rush out and buy this!! I couldn't find it at walmart but the local Kroger had it. I didn't check Target so I don't know. I did see that clean and clear had an exfoliating cleanser and i thought maybe it was the same thing, but it is not. Check the ingredients and make sure it's TEN percent BP and not just five!! Happy skin!! :)

Pros:

-Nice tingly feeling (even though it's bullsh*t, caused by the menthol, but still feels nice!)
-cheap
-WORKS

Cons:

-bleaches clothes and towels
-can be overly drying for sensitive skin

First of all, I believe anyone who has had an incredibly bad reaction (itching, swelling, little bumps caused by this product) is ALLERGIC to BP. it's actually pretty common since it's such a strong formula...but don't be scared away! Just test the product somewhere else before you use it on your face. I usually have pretty sensitive skin, and this product hasn't irritated my skin once since beginning to use it 3 weeks ago. just make sure to use it with a good moisturizer (I use clean &clear dual action) ANYWAYS, bottom line is I've been using this in conjunction with clean&clean blackhead clearing scrub (Botchla's regimen) for about 3 weeks, and I am 95% clear, and it just keeps getting better. The breakouts I have now are smaller, come to a head easier, and disappear quicker. I still get pimples, but I am hoping this will decrease with time and eventually they will stop completely. Pretty much my main problem now is scars (still don't feel comfortable without makeup) but luckily that is A LOT easier to hide than huge painful bumps!! Here is my regimen for anyone that cares: Morning: -Wash with salicylic acid (clean and clean blackhead clearing scrub) -wash with BP continuous control -apply salicylic acid moisturizer, apply makeup Night: Same thing as morning, but apply spot treatment instead of makeup obviously before goin to sleep **TIP: when first using this product, start out with only using it once a day, so your skin can get accustomed to it. Then gradually work up to using it twice a day, for maximum results :)
