Pros:

Not as irritating as 10% BP; gets the job done when applied very gently and gradually, in layers of small amounts; packaging is easily portable

Cons:

Very drying if not used with a moisturizer; does not "vanish" completely without some finesse of the fingers, will immediately liquefy and turn white when exposed to sweat or water; packaging is too small for the price and extended use

Works, but a gel-based version is far superior.

Pros:

Works good for me, reduces pimples in a day, and their clear by day 2 or 3.

Cons:

a little expensive for a small tube, but it lasts me awhile.

i dont put this on my whole face, just a little on my chin, and a little on my forhead. so it lasts me around 2 months. but it works good at keeping me clear.

Pros:

This is one of the best treatment for clearing acne. It is great when you apply before you sleep and the next day your acne is almost gone. I love it and I think it is great for acne clearing.

Cons:

The amount in a tiny bottle is to pricey. When you first use it or when you use it on a new pimple, it can be a bit irritation, but it's not that bad.

This product is great and I continue to use it. It clears my skin perfectly leaving no spots. I wish the container was bigger for a better price

Pros:

not too irritating, can get it at my local drug store,

Cons:

cream based, small, too expensive

when compared with Dan's BP, i have to say that this loses. Dan's is cheap, its gel based so it goes on clear and dries quickly, and you can order larger quantities. For people who are apprehensive about buying online, don't be. Give Dan's product a try. If you really prefer the convenience of running to CVS and picking this up, then go for it. Its a good product.

Pros:

Available at every drugstore. Not terribly expensive.

Cons:

Smells funny. Doesn't 'melt' into skin well. Leaves an ichy white residue so it is really annoying to have to put lotion after and then makeup in the morning. Especially in the summer when it's about 90 degrees in DC and 100% humidity!

The white residue was uber not cool. I just bought Dan's BP and it is WAY better and I've only been using it for 2 days. The price is actually better because of the size. I use Vanicream bar of soap two times a day. I like it because it's cheap and very gentle. (About $2.85 at Target. You have to ask for it at the Pharmacy, behind the counter.) I use Dan's BP in the morning and at night. In the morning I use Garnier Noutrise SPF 15 lifting lotion and at night I use 10% glycolic alpha hydroxy brand after Dan's BP. It's only been two days but I already see wonderful results for the new BP. Being able to use BP in the morning (no more white residue from the Nuetrogena brand BP ) seems to be making a HUGE difference.

Pros:

Good for applying to small zits, absorbs well.

Cons:

Doesn't clear up spots any faster than just waiting for them to subside on their own.

Not a high enough concentration of BP for me, so this stuff didn't really work at all. Sometimes I put it on small zits, but I don't think it makes any difference.
