Pros:

Works!

Cons:

Dries out your skin, but only if you slather it on. All BP bleaches stuff :(

This was cheap (it goes on sale for less than $4 sometimes) and works well. It drys my skin out when I put it on by itself like you are supposed to, but I mix a pea-sized amount in with my moisturizer and it seems to work just as well and doesn't make my face feel like it's made of stone. The biggest downside is remembering to use a white towel after I wash it off my hands because it WILL bleach towels and clothes, even after it has been soaped off. I have tried a bunch of expensive stuff and this is just as good if not better. If creams/lotions/gels never do anything for you it's time to go on oral meds anyway (Your skin is always clearer even after you stop taking them, at least in my experience). Minocycline worked for me and Accutane for my BF.

Pros:

its a zit-zapper! I bought this after giving up on proactiv (Arrrgh!) and was amazed that FINALLY after so many dermatologist and expensive luxury products this little guy helped!

Cons:

It smells bad, but only for a minute. i have a nice smelling moisteriser to apply after. It did dry out my skin at first but using a toner and good moisteriser kicked that problems butt.

After I finished this product my skin felt so much better. I went down to the 5% bp oxy acne vanishing treatment which keeps it clear. I used to use Oxy when I was 11 and then started on other products because I saw cool ads for them pretty much. I was so suprised that Oxy would come back with a vengence on my acne and rescue me! I find using witch hazel as a toner works great. I wouldnt recommend it to people with sensitive skin, unless they're desperate.

Pros:

So far the acne have not come back...It clears all the redness and keep the new acne popping out.

Cons:

It does dry out our skin but for me, I am ok with it coz my skin is full of oil.

Good for people who have really-really oily skin.

Pros:

this product really does work, just dont put it all over ur face, only apply to the acne or pimples, i found what works best is before u go to bed, put a white spot of lotion directly on pimple, dont rub, and by morning, u will see a difference

Cons:

DONT APPLY ALL OVER FACEM OR ACNE WILL GET WORSE, just put one blob of lotion on each pimple, trust me...u do this before bed so then no one will see u with white spots on ur face!

THIS PRODUCT REALLY DOES WORK, U JUST HAVE TO USE IT CORRECTLY!
