Pros:

large bottle

Cons:

bleaches clothing
drying

i have used this for years as a topical without washing it off and it works well on drying up existing pimples. it lasts much longer than the overpriced 1oz bottles of bp.

Pros:

it gets rid of acne REALLY FAST. and it even took care of most of my hyper pigmentation, which tends to stick around with other acne medications.

Cons:

it drys out my face to an extreme amount. major peeling occurs, and i constantly have to wet my face, or use a moisturizer, which makes my face turn red.

it does the job with in a few days. and despite the cons, its worth it. i've read other reviews and it says my skin will adapt to the dryness...we'll see. i recomend a good moisturizer, which takes care of dryness, and makes almost all peeling look like its not there, but brings redness back.

It works really well! It cleared my acne in less than a month, and I love it! Although I do reccomend moisturizer with it!

Pros:

It helped my acne, but did not rid my face of it. It keeps it under control, meaning you probably won't get huge red zits often. It also makes the acne looks less red (if it is).

Cons:

Slightly dries out skin, but it isn't a big deal.

Keeps acne under control and makes your skin look better.

Pros:

Works well for some people
Cleared acne considerably - did not eliminate it but helped control it

Cons:

None that I can think of

Actually I'm rating this for my best friend who I bought this for.. When I met him he was in his 20s and it never occured to him that if you washed your face, it would help control your acne hehe. So I coached him on how to wash his face, etc. and his acne cleared up quite a bit (he went from moderately severe to light acne). He had the really red inflamed kind constantly before he started washing. It may be worth a try if you're willing to experiment, I'd say.

Pros:

Got rid of pimples right away

Cons:

Very liquidy

I didn't rub this all over my face because its generally clean due to OXY PADS. But I applied just a bit directly on the pimple. I felt an immediate sense that it was working. It cleaned and dried it out and late the next day it was gone (Note I did open the pimple just a tad and squeezed the stuff out and then applied.)
