Pros:

Mild initial improvement

Cons:

Didn't work
Too Strong

This might be okay for a short term solution, but if you've have problems with acne for a while, this likely won't be the answer. It wasn't for me at least.

Best medication for your acne!

Pros:

works fast
clear skin
cheap

Cons:

little drying
small tube

It's been the best product I've ever used to treat my acne with. It's the only thing that's worked for me. I've been using it for about a year and a half. I don't even use a cleanser just water to wash my face. I use this plus a moisturizer. My skin looks great because of zapzyt. This product is amazing I can't recommend it enough! It worked right away for me but for others it may take some time just be patient. Zapzyt never dried out my face that bad as some people say it does..

Pros:

I tried this product about once a week, when I needed it, for the last three weeks and only put it on single pimples that were starting to surface. It seemed to work great. I put it on a larger area on my cheeks though when more acne started surfacing and when I woke up this morning, both of my cheeks were extremely red and swollen, so much that I don't want to leave the house until the swelling goes down. This product worked for me but only on little pen point areas about once a week.

Cons:

Dries out skin and may cause large amounts of swelling

Be careful if applying it to more than just a tiny spot. I didn't think I had dry skin, and I had a reaction with a lot of redness in swelling. Overall, if it doesn't cause that reaction, the product seemed to work well.

Pros:

It works quickly, with minimal effort and a small amount of cream. It has a pleasant odor, and doesn't stain.

Cons:

Mild dryness, but not enough to make you frustrated.

It's a simple, inexpensive solution to a problematic issue that we all deal with. Try it!

Pros:

Clears pimples overnight. Oily skinned people, like myself, can actally use it all over the face to cure and prevent. It's fast, easy, and affordable.

Cons:

A little drying, but I suppose that's what makes it work!

BUY IT! It works wonders and I honestly can say that it's as simple as erasing pimples from your face. Overnight=large/new pimples reduced to half the size, old scars/pimples erased, and black/white heads eradicated. Twodays=large/new pimples GONE, skin smooth and clear. Threedays/ormore=clear skin and flawless prevention.

Pros:

healed quickly
reduced redness
cheap

I've been using Zapzyt (with some generic face moisterizer) for not even a week and already my acne is almost completely healed. That's impressive seeing as I've tried everything out there, including the stupid proactive system and several of its knock-offs...so far the only other sucessful treatment was taking 3 pills a day (which made me sick) combined with 2 different prescription face creams (one of which cost $90 for a three ounce bottle and made my skin boil in sunlight like a pasty vampire) used faithfully for 3+ months before I saw any huge difference. Quite a difference from the $5 over the counter cream that works twice as well. Again, make sure you use a good moisterizer too to prevent too much drying.

Pros:

only use once a day
no funny smell
great value
works quickly

Cons:

dries your face out a little
can't buy it in a larger tube

I've used ProActiv, Nature's Cure, Sea Breeze, even prescription medicines like Benzaclin and nothing worked. I started using this and saw results within days. I only use it once a day and if my skin gets too dry, I moisturize with lotion, but it's perfect. My acne has gone away mostly and if I do get any pimples (usually around that time of the month) they are much smaller and fewer. NO CYSTIC ACNE anymore! I have spent tons of money on various products and am mad that I wasted it when I could've just spent five bucks on this. As a side note, Zapzyt also makes a facial scrub. I've trued the scrub on its own and with this product and it never seemed to make a difference, although it does exfoliate a little and smells kind of nice. One more note: don't put this on before bed unless you're wearing a tanktop and have an old towel over your pillow. It bleaches whatever it touches.

Pros:

Works fast, reduces amount and size of pimples.

Cons:

Dries out skin, but not as bad as the proactive brand extra strength medication.

I've been using this product 3 days after finally deciding to quit using proactive because it wasn't helping at all. The first day I used zapzyt it made almost all of my acne go away! I wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis so it's good to know there is something that works! I recommend using a moisterizing face wash before applying, it helps with the dry skin.
