Pros:

cheap and works good only for a short while

Cons:

makes skin red and itchy...the 10% Benzoyl peroxide solution is way to much and irritates the skin more better off buying a 2.5%solution...my dermatologist said the lower the Benzoyl peroxide level the better...i suggest proactive's renewing cleanser

do not buy this it does not work and will only make skin worse...best plan is to see a dermtologist who will give you oral antibiotics and it will clear skin up much faster and better

Too Harsh for Face
This face wash was WAY too harsh on my face and dried my skin out like crazy. I had slather on lotion like crazy to counteract the dryness. That being said, this worked WONDERS for my back acne! I guess because the back skin isn't as sensitive? It cleared my back completely if I kept using it in the shower. Pretty good stuff - just not for face!

Not for me.
I used this for around a month as one of most recent treatments... not for me. Made my skin very dry and irritated. I didn't notice a difference in my acne in general*, but it might work for you! *It did help scab over popped blemishes, but that was about it.

Pros:

there really weren't any at all. =/ perhaps i noticed it helped a little bit in some areas, but overall it didn't help well at all.

Cons:

burning, stinging, itching, peeling, redness, and general discomfort for an extended period of time.

i definitely would not recommend it. in fact, i think it may have just made my acne worse. i used it for two weeks until i was fed up with feeling like something was viciously eating away at my face. it was very very uncomfortable for me. my face felt like it was on fire, it was very agitated, even after applying moisturizer, and my skin was peeling. i have sensitive skin and if you do too, be forewarned.

Beauty Hurts Apparently
It does work very well. You can visibly see the difference within a day. But boy does it burn. My whole face was red, warm, and burned to the touch. Good for oily skin. Don't recommend using it every day. Other than that this works!

Pros:

Works quickly. Kills huge pimples.

Cons:

Doesn't do anything for the smaller pimples. Doesn't prevent breakouts. Stings.

I started using this at 12 years old when I started to get very light breakouts. It did absolutely nothing for me. I do have to admit though that it works well on the bigger spots.

cleared up spots quickly

Cons:

my skin isnt overly sensitive, but after a week of using this it got extremely red, flaky, and was quite sore. some people told me it had to get worse before it got better, so i persevered. my skn s horrbly dry, flaky and red now. not so good

clears spots but leaves you with horrible skin anyway

Didn't realy help with acne

Didn't really clear up acne but at least it didn't make it worse. No irritation, no dryness, no flakiness.
