Pros:

I love this particular BP simply because it is non-irritating where as other products (Clearasil, Persa-Gel, etc...) use 10% BP. This is 2.5%; however, it is just as effective in fighting acne. It smells great and it goes on pretty clear. Buy it!

Cons:

I wish it would go on a little more clearer, but that is not a big issue for me. I've never had harsh acne. Luckily it is very very mild, but this keeps me from getting any future pimples. I also with the tube was as big as Dan's BP. 4 oz perfect

I will not between BP's anymore. I have tried many different BP's and I love this one. I give it five stars. It is fast acting and it smells great. I wish it came in a bigger tube, but that is fine. I am willing to pay $4.97 for it at Wal-Mart. By the way people, go to Wal-Mart. I can't believe that your paying between 7 and 10 bucks for this stuff. It's only 5 bucks at Wal-Mart. Happy acne killing!

Pros:

Works well for spot treatment. Clears up acne I can feel under the skin before it comes to the surface.

Cons:

Pricey-but lasts a long time if only used for spot treatment. Very drying for all over use.

Definitely recommend it for spot treatment, not all over the face.

Pros:

This product works very, very well. I have used 10% BP Clearisil Persigel which was very drying and irritating to my skin. This is much more mild. With Oil of Olay moisturizer, make up goes on very well-a must for work.

Cons:

You really should start with a very small amount to avoid irritating your skin. I used a very small amount on my forehead, nose, and chin and it has worked very well. Not really a con-just a recommendation.

This works very well. I've tried tons of other products, and this has worked by far the best. I use Dove white/sensitive bar soap for the first step, and Oil of Olay Moisturizer for the third step, but only if I have to wear make up for work. If you've never used BP, start off small because it can be a little drying and irritating, but it is just as effective as the 10% stuff out there, but not nearly as irritating. Moisturizing helps a lot, and my Bare Minerals make up goes over everything with no problem. Bare Minerals is great for your skin, and conceals blemishes like nothing else. You can get the starter kit for about $60, and it lasts a long time (still on my starter kit 3 months later).

Pros:

It worked pretty well and it was very convenient because I could take it with me everwhere.

Cons:

It really dried out my skin. I would recommend using a moisturized afterwards.

It kept my acne under control. I switched from this product to Clean and Clear and this product ended up being better even though Clean and Clear had 5% B.P.

Pros:

Nice little tube. Economic price.

Cons:

Does nothing for the pimples except being extremely drying to the skin.

Not recommended for treatment of acne. Maybe a tiny pimple. Better to use BP 2.5%.

Pros:

Helped clear a few pimples. Very handy when traveling.

Cons:

Price for one tube is expensive. Itchy and irritated on skin after applying.Saw discoloration on some spots where pimples were/are at. I usually put it on at night and then in the morning, my face would be all red.

This product may have different results on people, but I recommend that people with a lot of acne/pimples shouldn't use this product, if they don't want their face irritated,discolored or dried out.

Pros:

Cheap, accessable

Cons:

Didn't work at all for me, dried out skin

This product has never really worked for me and all it does is irritate the hell out of my skin and cause dryness, peeling, and burning. At times it caused my face to turn bright red where I had applied it. It didn't do anything for the cystic acne I had on my chin, the whiteheads, or blackheads. I don't really recommend this product. It also smells kind of strange and takes a while to be absorbed into your skin. It also is kind of chalky, so putting makeup over it is hard to accomplish.

Pros:

It's actually working pretty well so far. I've had a big breakout on my nose and cheeks. And it's doing pretty well with it. I've noticed some pimples clearing a bit :)

Cons:

Quite expensive for such a small tube. Drying but a good moisturizer can help with that.

If your having problems with acne this is worth a try. If it's drying...moisturize. Moisturizing is really important.
