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.

Pros:

Clears acne,
Better looking skin

Cons:

Drys face but it worth it and you can use moisturizer.

Usually don't break out only during my time of the month. Started to use this product and on after the second day there are POSITIVE results. Unlike all the other product you can think of, it never worked but this did. Absolutely TWO THUMBS UP. Make sure you use moisturizer to help with the dryness.

Pros:

Quickly clears minor acne
Radically reduces the size of large acne

Cons:

Dries out my skin, but lotion helps.

I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Zapzyt to anyone. I have literally tried almost all of the over the counter brands in the past, as well as a prescribed acne medication. The prescribed medication (Benzaclin) worked wonders as well, but after a change in insurance, it was far too pricey ($180). So I turned to Proactive, which made my acne worse in just three terrible weeks (my first weeks at college no less!). In desperation I walked down the aisle of my local supermarket, saw Zapzyt, as well as one other brand I have not yet tried, and decided, what have I got to lose? Overnight I saw results, with decreased redness and soreness of acne. I have only been using Zapzyt for a about a week and my acne is steadily clearing up and I feel BEAUTIFUL! I still have acne (again, its only been about a little less than a week), but it has definitely improved and is continuing to improve. Make sure to use some oil free lotion to combat the dryness!

Pros:

WORKS FAST!! If you have a bad pimple or pimples, just rub some zapzyt on and it will shrink overnight and it will be gone within a few days!

Cons:

it will dry out your skin so be sure to moisturize. Not really sure thats a con though, because i have really oily skin lol

ZAPZYT WORKS!! I use it whenever i have a random pimple or a sudden outbreak and it will be gone within days. I have used MILLIONS of acne creams, but this is the only one that works, and FAST.

There are no cons.

This product is GREAT!!!!!!!!! We have tried the expensive acne treatments and nothing has worked. ZAPZYT is a miracle pimple remover. We bought the cleanser, and I love it too. I would highly recommend this product. Thank you!!!!!!!!!! You have created miracles......

Pros:

Works fast, doesn't dry out my skin, can be used ONCE a day,doesn't have to be used every single day(like you do with proactive) skipping one or two days in a row is okay.

Cons:

Weren't any for me.

It's an amazing product. I put it on before i go to bed every night and in 5 days my acne was almost completely gone. It didn't dry out my skin at all, and unlike other products ive used, didn't turn the zits into scabs...they just got smaller, and less red everyday. I STRONGLY recommend this product to teenagers, who don't want to pay for proactive(this works just as well...maybe even faster) and either forget, or can't put it on every single day.

Pros:

Clears up acne overnight! Visible difference in one application

Cons:

A bit grainy as you put it on your skin but disappears. Consistent use results in some skin dryness. Results outweigh the Cons

My 15 year old son has mild teenage acne and I have occasional mild adult breakouts. We are both amazed at the results in only one application. We don't use it everyday we may use it two days once at night and then every few days after that once at night We used the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Gel
