good
Really great product. Overnight results on mild acne. I didn't use this as a spot treatment but on my entire face before bed every night but I used a moisturizer over it! At day time I apply suncream over it.

Works!

Pros:

Dries Out Pimples

Cons:

Skin Becomes Too Immune

I have used this about two months ago daily. It worked on my skin. By the next morning my pimple would already look smaller. Unfortunately, our skin becomes too immune to certain products like (Benzoyl Peroxide).. So this product stopped working on my skin. I'm using another topical on my face for now, but I will come back to this one in a few months.

Pros:

none...

Cons:

leaves white streaks. balls up when applying moisturizer. extremely expensive. runs out quickly... need i go on?

If you are on the regimen and can afford to go through a tube of this probably every few weeks, you might as well buy Dan's BP because in reality you're going to save so much money and it works so much better. Dan's BP is a gel, which goes on perfectly and invisibly. This stuff is a cream so you have to rush to apply it and even then it still dries and leaves white streaks. Then just when you think it's dry, you apply your moisturizer, only to find out it wasn't really dry because it's balling up and coming off again. Ugh! don't waste your money people.

Pros:

Cleared up a huge zit on nose after a few hourly applications ( i HAD to make it go away ) and it reduced the pimple! thanks so much, if not i would have gone to school with an angry, fiery pus filled huge pimple on my nose (the terror)

Cons:

Doesnt smell as good as rapid clear 8h gel, kinda pricey..

I would use it for cysts, and occasionally those pus filled ones. But if its more serious i would use the 8h eliminating gel instead..

Less iritating than salicitic acid
works quickly

Cons:

smells awful (when applying)

I have gone to a dermatolagest and the only stuff she gives me burns really bad :(. but the 2.5 benzoil peroxide works great and hardly hurts at all. TIP: thie more you use the better it gets!

Pros:

Effective and can speed up the healing process of a pimple... makes them look almost invisible.

Cons:

Flakes out so if applied and you go out it can look embarrassing (like dried out milk), sometimes it burns and dries skin.

Good Product... nothing spectacular nor miraculous... but still good. Especially if you like me get an occasional huge pimple that looks really unattractive... it has also helped me get rid of these annoying smaller pimples that I have on my chin.

Pros:

-Non-greasy
-Absorbs fast
-Less irritating than most benzoyl peroxide medications

Cons:

-flakes a bit, but nothing to worry about if you moisturize.

This stuff is especially good if you have just light acne that you're trying to get rid of, but I've seen it work wonders for people who have moderate/heavy acne as well. I have to say there's a product line called CeraVe if no one has heard of it. If you use this stuff in combination with there cleanser and moisturizing cream, flakiness and irritation is no problem. CeraVe is designed to target dry, flaky, irritated skin and repair it. I was skeptical but it works, and this acne medication with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is the perfect amount to heal your skin in unison with that cleanser and moisturizer. If nothing has worked for you yet or your just starting out trying to get clear skin, i really recommend you try that combination of products. It's the least irritating, no dyes, no soap, no fragrance...I can tell you from personal experience that it's worth a shot!

Pros:

After using it the way Dan suggested I saw immediate results! It quickly cleared up my skin.

Cons:

Took the moisture out of my skin. This enhanced the appearance of some fine lines. To solve this problem I have been making sure that I drink plenty of water, and I also purchased some jojoba oil that I mix in with my face lotion at night.

I would recommend this product for anyone to has mild to moderate breakouts. It's very good for sensitive skin and you will see results quickly but don't forget to hydrate!!!
