Doesnt work
This never worked on me. It felt crusty. Made my pimples even more irritated. Waste of money. Don't use it!

doesn't absorb
don't wear this out of the house or under makeup- it dries like caulk and doesn't really deliver medication into the pore

Did nothing but dry skin out.
I could not wear makeup while using this. Even with moisturizer, my skin would feel so tight and flake most of the day. After a week, not one pimple was gone.

Bumps
Is it okay with bumps on face? I have many bumps on my right cheeks, this product says that it has benzyl peroxide and I believe that it is good for bumps.

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:

It cleared a few pimples.

Cons:

My face was swollen to the point where I can't even smile because it would feel very uncomfortable due to the dryiness. It's overdrying and it stings like crazy!!

Didn't work for me. I'm currently using Clean and Clear 10% and it's turning out okay. I'm still waiting for Dan's gel and giving that a try.

Pros:

It has not made my acne worse.

Cons:

It has not made my acne better. It is drying to your skin, and I moisturize twice a day. It is hard to wear under makeup - it makes the makeup look flaky. I have noticed zero difference in my acne and I have been using it for two months.

I had high hopes for this simple formula but it's just not doing anything but drying out my skin. I still see new blemishes every day, the old ones still take forever to go away. Plus now my skin had acne and is dry and flaky. On the positive side, it hasn't made anything worse. After two months I was hoping to see some results and got nothing.
