Pros:

Cleared my severe acne in a week.
It stops more breakouts from happening for me.

It dries out your skin, so use a moisturizer.

It got rid of my severe acne!

Pros:

very effective, not expensive

Cons:

sometimes leave white residue on skin if not rubbing it long enough

By far the best OTC acne spot treatment i've used. I've tried neutrogena before but it wasn't as effective with only 2.5% BP I don't agree with saying 2.5% is as effective as 10%. That is not true based on my experience. My pimples took longer to go away when i was on the 2.5% treatment. The only negative thing about Zapzyt is that after you put it on you have to rub it around to let the skin absorbs it or else you will have white residue left on your skin when it's dried. Also eventhough the tube looks like pretty big but i'd say half the tube was filled with air. Not a big deal since it's not that expensive. I gave it a 5 star because it really works on my pimples. Whenever i put this stuff on a spot, the spot either reduces in size later or at least it doesn't get worse (they usually do if i don't use anything).

Pros:

using with oxy and the pimples are indivisually changing a little bit sooo.

Cons:

Not sure how well it is exactly may take four days per pimple to go away

I might need more time but so far small results are showing but they are there i guess

Pros:

It really works. Does not cost an arm and a leg!

Cons:

Can tend to dry out skin, but it should only be used as a spot treament anyway. If you want to put it all over your face you should use 2.5% with a mosturizer over it :-)

Great cost and effective. I used in combination with the acne.org skincare line and my skin cleared up in 2 weeks!

Pros:

it works fast, and clears up acne really well. Better than anything I've used

Cons:

dries the crap out of your skin, and leaves red spots. One morning I woke up and my eyes were swollen.

My skin is really sensitive sometimes, so that may be why it made my face look like a sick tomato. But it did clear up my acne really well, and if you don't have sensitive skin, you should try it.

Pros:

Super cheap compared to most acne products with a max amt of benzoyl

Cons:

small tube that is plastic so it is hard to squeeze just the right amount out.

I have moderately severe acne that consists of mainly white and blackheads. I have stopped using my $50 a month Rx acne cream that wasn't helping my acne at all. I have switched to Zapzyt and this is the only thing that helps out of the millions of products I have tried. You definitely have to use it morning and night everyday to get clear skin but it works!

Pros:

So I can't conclusivly say anything yet but I bought this product yesterday for a really nasty breakout and already it's working. reducing size and redness right away...still waiting for the total clear up though.

Cons:

none so far

Would definately reccommend.

Pros:

does in fact shrink the size of acne within 3 days

Cons:

NOT good for sensitive skin; over peeling, drying and BURNING. it's also really grainy and gross feeling. not very pleasant to use.

This is a pretty effective product, but I wish they considered us sensitive skin people when formulating it. I can't use it any more because my skin just burns too much. Yeah my zits are smaller, but my face hurts ! ):
August 11, 2009

Pros:

get rid of zits that are already there, and blackheads.

Cons:

it can be a little drying, but not really a problem... and it doesnt smell wonderful. oh, and also it takes a few days to get rid of the pimples. :/

its a great product... i would definitally buy this again. :)

Pros:

It worked great! I used it the night after I had a huge breakout and the next morning I had barely any acne at all. I also prevents the pimples from coming back. This stuff is just amazing.

Cons:

A bit of dryness, but it was expected and can be cured by a bit of moisturizer.

It is really great stuff; I recommended it to some friends, all of which love it just as much as I do. It works amazing, try it for yourself.
