Pros:

Cleared up pimples in a few days, whoch was nice for a change. Even if they didnt clear up right away, the redness reduced.

Cons:

(Of course) The dryness was a slight issue. Also, after awhile, I think my pimples have become somewhat immune to the product. It takes more and more applications (and time) to heal.

Zapzyt is a good product, GREAT price (I actually bought it as a joke, but hey, it works). OH! Never,ever, ever use Proactive (repairing) Lotion after using Zapzyt. I had extra in the bottle, so I did this. For me, the combo dryed out my skin twice as bad. Just sayin.

Pros:

the greatest bp product on the market, gets rid of acne fast, and dries extremely fast(so no having to wait for your bp treatment to dry)

Cons:

dries out your skin if you put it all over your face,i think that was mentioned before, but seriously don't spread it all over your face (use Dan's bp gel for that)

If you want the most effective product on the market for getting rid of acne fast you must give this product a try. Oh ya be sure to have a good moisturizer just in case your skin gets dried out

not strong enough
I have tried a lot of acne products over the years, from over the counter stuff, to prescribed stuff. I am no stranger to benzoyl peroxide. Trust me, I have a lot of stained sheets! Most of the time the benzoyl will help the zits initially, I will get excited then something happens, like my skin becomes immune to it or something. This time was no different. At first, my skin cleared up noticeably and I was, as always, pretty stoked. But as always, after 2 weeks, the zits started coming back almost worse than before I would say. I did give it a solid shot and finished up the entire container. My skin remained broken out until it was gone so I decided to start searching for something else. I can't even remember where I found it but I found a new benzoyl cream from Ninja, who I hadn't ever heard of before. The reviews were pretty stellar so it why not? First of all, this benzoyl was actually quite different in that it was much stronger than any other benzoyl I had ever tried before. My skin started getting very dry immediately, which I have to admit was a little annoying but they assured me that was what we wanted. The zits didnt disappear immediately but they were smaller when they popped up and went away within a day or two which was incredible. I did notice that my skin was much drier than I had ever experienced with other benzoyl products but instead of getting upset by that, I was encouraged. Instead of seeing the same results, seeing something different was very uplifting. My skin got clear within about 6 weeks and stayed clear for nearly six months. Then at 6 months, I think my skin started getting used to it. I checked in with the company and they recommended I add in some salicylic to my regime, which was also refreshing because in the past, when something stopped being as effective I just dropped the line altogether. This time, knowing they had tools to increase the potency was amazing. Now, I have been with the company for 2 years, have increased my medication one additional time and am happy to say that my skin is clear and my scars are so unnoticeable that I don't even have to wear makeup any more.

Pros:

Clears redness, shrinks pimples. Works wonders.

Cons:

Drys out skin, but not too bad.

Well, I'm using prescribed acne meds that REALLY cleared up my face, but i still get a pimple or two every now and then. And ZapZyt... well, Zaps them! HIGHLY reccomended.

Pros:

Works awesome! the cleanser I used for this was Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing. it has salicylic acid. (S.A.) it's always better to use a S.A. cleanser because S.A. keeps pores unclogged, therfore, the medicine in the ZapZyt can work.

Cons:

none that I can find.

it was amazing. that's the bottom line.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This medication caused my skin to ERUPT in the worst cystic acne Ive ever had. BP is nasty stuff.

It can have a bad effect on some people. Use with caution.

Pros:

Works great! Just sayin. You gotta try this stuff it's awesome! Cleared up some small whiteheads on my nose and so far my blackheads seem reduced. Little smell.

Cons:

Some grittiness and very drying.

I use this under my creamy makeup and it keeps it from becoming oily over the course of a day and also keeps new zits from forming.
