Pros:

Zaps acne, zits, and imperfections the first day i got it!

Cons:

Makes skin a little dry but nothing a little moisturizer couldn't fix

I have tried other Benzoyl Peroxide acne treatments such as Benzaclin. That didn't work for me too well. It didn't make it worse and after a while it didn't really help. I picked this up at WalMart today thinking what have i got to loose? Right when I got home I took a shower and washed my face and put this on. Throughout the day I have been looking at my face and it couldn't have goten any better. It took away the redness and size of acne in as little as 8 hours. I am so happy with this product and I would recommend it to EVERYONE who has acne. I'm 14 and have pretty moderate acne and it couldn't be working any better. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Pros:

You see results in a day, and the day after that and the day after that. It is consistent as long as you are consistent. Major life savor.

Cons:

It drys out my skin and if i but to much on its a little gritty, and having dark skin as an african american it can leave white marks on my face but lotion solves it. Also not good for super sensitive skin so beware.

I am a teenage girl in high school and it works wonders! I've tried everything but it only works for about a month and then decides it doesn't want to work anymore, I've tried proactive,clinique, clean and clear, neutrogena, clearsil and acnefree made my skin worse. Zapzyt is a million times better! I just found out they had a pore/blackhead line so i will be trying that soon. It does not get rid of existing scars but i hear aveeno does the trick and if not that my ex used Diana Stalder Black Bar Whitening Lightening Soap and that lightened his scars in a week so i suggest that also.

decreases size of pimples
Gets rid of a lot of acne

Cons:

Dries out skin but doesn't harm my skin

I love this product because it got rid of a lo of the pimples on my face. I've had acne/break-outs for 3 years now and I've tried every single acne treatment out there and none have worked except for zapzyt.

My pregnancy hormones caused my acne to reaapper after years of not having it. I tried many products and finally came across Zapzyt... It has been 3 weeks and my face is CLEAR. I use it twice a day to make sure nothing pops back up. So far I haven not had issues with it drying out my skin. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT 100%!!!! :)

Great for my cystic acne!
I actually did a chemical peel on my face for my spots thinking my acne was under control. But little did I know my acne was not under control, the chemical peel brought the bacterial right to the surface and behold I had bad painful cystic acne. I could not get this ACNE to be calm and go away. Mind you i had already been using The Regimen, which worked great but not for this. So i went on [link removed] where i usually order everything and began searching and found this along with zapzyt pore treatment gel(with salicylic acid). I cleansed my face day and night and applied the pore treatment first let it dry and then applied this acne treatment gel. After the second day of use I saw noticeable results, which i was really happy with since i had been dealing with it for about a week at that point. I am still using this product going in to the third week with the cystic acne. And i do suffer from acne, so i will continue use. Also i dont think this product is for mild acne. Could be used on a SPOT, as a spot treatment just to dry up that pop up pimple.

CAUSES UNATTRACTIVE FACIAL SWELLING!!! Stay away!!!
I had used essentially every brand of OTC benzoil peroxide available, and had settled on a personal fave (walmart's equate brand 10% Max strength) when I was forced to give Zapzyt a try a couple of weeks ago. I had a pms-fueled forehead breakout and few sporadic zits on my cheeks and chin, and Walmart was *gasp* out of the Equate kind. Zapzyt was the next in line for being the cheapest, so I got it. That night, I applied in the usual manner as I would for the other bp creams and went to bed. The next morning, I woke up to my face feeling itchy. When I got up and took a look in the mirror, I practically jumped back at my reflection. MY EYELIDS, MY UNDEREYES AND MY CHEEKS WERE SO SWOLLEN THAT I LOOKED LIKE A CASTMEMBER OF REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS!!!! Or maybe just a young (super young, I'm under 30) version of Joan Rivers. Not kidding!! The swelling was awful. I looked like I had gotten my face pumped fill of fillers. Catlady of NYC, move aside! GuhROSS!!! It took two days for the swelling to subside, during which I had to apply ice and popped antihistamine like skittles. And after allllll that, my pimples didn't even decrease in size!!! I wish I were joking. Definitely do not recommend. Stick to ANY other brand but this. Unless of course....you want to audition to be a Housewife. ;)

I'm dead 💀 haha I love you! You should totally have a comedy blog about your everyday life you are hilarious, that being said I'm sorry you looked like that lady that injected cement and oil into her face, must have been painful not to mention the sun makes it worse. It says don't go out in the sun with it lol like so I guess you just have to sit the complete darkness whispering to yourself until it works or makes you look like a squirrel.

Pros:

WORKS! reduces pimples and redness very fast. Good for long term use as well.

Cons:

NONE!

Well i just wanted to let people know that now i dont have acne and its due to Zapzyt. Ive been using this for years and i only get a pimple or two once in awhile and Zapzyt works great. Only reason im talking about it is because it WORKS, it really does. Ive passed this down to both my brothers and its worked for them as well. Ive been using this product since it first came out, more people should know about this product if they are having problems with constant breakouts or acne period. If used properly it will work. I recommend this to anyone with zit or acne problems, you will be 100% satisfied!
