Not worth your money. Doesn't clear acne at all.

Pros:

- can find in any and most all drug stores
- fair price
- gets rid of excessive oil

Cons:

- over dries you skin like the sahara desert
- formed new acne

My face became rough because this product over dried my face (there was no oil or even a drop of moisture remaining on my face) and because it formed many new acnes (even in places on my face where I wouldnt get acne). I tried using even a small amount like the size of a pea to wash my face, but this product was still too strong for my skin to handle.

Pros:

Relatively cheap.
Doesn't smell horrible.

Cons:

Makes skin terribly dry and itchy.
Caused break outs.

Ironically, it caused me to break out worst than I've had in the past because my skin is naturally sensitive and dry. This product was just not for my skin type...it as just way to harsh for me. May work well with others whose skin type are oily and not very sensitive. Give it a try nonetheless.

Pros:

- Cheap
- Nice smell

Cons:

- Does NOT help acne
- Dries out skin even after 1st use
- Makes pimples appear inflamed
- Caused a few pimples

I generally do not have sensitive skin, and I am not allergic to salicylic acid. But, I'm having a severe reaction because of this and I've read other reviews having similar problems. My eye lids are swollen and my whole face is EXTREMELY tight and inflamed. It's absolutely painful! I have to put layers of lotion on right now to just barely soothe it. Please, DO NOT buy this! I don't have sensitive skin and I never get irritation from products except this, so I think it could happen to anyone.

Pros:

Good Price

It is a Horrible Product in general, it does absolutley nothing for your acne. I stuck with it for 2 months and had zero results, there wasn't even the slightest bit of improvement, and my skin isn't even that bad to begin with! Don't waste your time or money on this proudct .

Cons:

~Dries out skin really bad
~Doesn't really do anything to help acne

Pros:

If you like the feeling of a fire set in each one of your pores then this product is for you.

Cons:

I used to have a nice even skin tone with minimal dry spots and now I have bright red patches all over my face.

I am certain that the dermatologists who recommend this product only do so because they want an increase in patients with chemical burns all over their faces. This product is perfect for the sadists out there.

Pros:

-Helps with very mild acne

Cons:

-Doesn't help with more intense acne
-Stinks
-Burns

I am not a fan of mixing salicylic acid and BP treatment. It causes my skin to freak out. BP is better for more intense acne.
